Another great LOTR film

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2014)

Wow. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug continues the story that began in The Hobbit: An unexpected journey. The film is rich with SFX, and great acting. The locations seen in this film are believable, and make you wish you could see them with your own eyes.
The best way to view this film, is with a knowledge of the story. There are parts in this film that will make you think "now that's impossible, or that's too ridiculous" you have to keep in mind this is fantasy, and kind of go along with it all.
If you enjoyed any of the previous lord of the rings stories, you will love this film. The story which is shown is rich in detail, and doesn't leave out much from the book. There is another film coming this year which will be the 3rd Hobbit movie. Yes this film does leave you on the edge of your seat with a cliff hanger, and you also might fell unsatisfied with where the story ends in this film.
Over all I am giving this film a 8/10 because it honored the rich detail of the book.
