Its a tragedy that a film like this, made by so many hard working individuals with so much passion, can be criticized by so many idiots...

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2014)

At what point have movies been designed to make you feel like crap? It's like a film is judged my how many medications you have to take afterwards. There are so many depressing, dull movies all clambering up the film critics' ugly little ties begging to be paid attention to that its nice to see a film that's actually made for the audiences. That's why I love the Desolation of Smaug. It's bright, fizzy, optimistic, passionate and very charming. It's also bolder and a little menacing with excellent pacing and the best CGI to date. If that's not enough, DoS also contains the best cliff-hanger since the Empire Strikes Back...
PS. if you want to see how how much hard work and fun has been put into this movie look the Production Diary Videos on youtube.
