Better than the First

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2015)

If you're looking for a very intense and acion-packed movie, and like Peter Jackson, then you need to see this. This Hobbit was probably my favorite of all three, and I think it should have won a Award for it's great story, talented actors, and great special effects. I remember the night I watched it. I had popped a big bowl of popcorn, gotten some canned soda, and watched it. After seeing the giant spider scene, I knew this was going to be a good one. I loved the way they did the scene where Smaug awakens with Bilbo Baggins just a few steps away. It also reminded me of the very last scene in the first film, where a bird taps on the outside of the cave with a rock, and smaug's eyes open. Peter Jackson sure did a wonderful job at this intelligent, exciting sequel to the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and it's a one of a kind film. So, if you liked the book, and you liked the earlier Lord of the Rings films, then I would recommend this film out of all of the three Hobbit movies.
