Good as the lord of the rings

Rating: 7/10 (13 January 2014)

The first one The Unexpected Journey was good but not memorable or as good as The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. But this one is finally as good as the lord of the rings. The story starts off very strong with the continuation of Thorin's company Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins. There is still a lot of CGI like the first one but it didn't bother me as much as the first hobbit. The CGI is really good mostly on the dragon. The characters are developed so much better in this one now I really care for all of the dwarfs even though I don't know all of them but now I literally care for the characters. I was worried about putting Orlando Bloom as Legolas and the chick from lost in the movie because I thought they would feel forced but both did a fantastic job and it doesn't feel forced. There is a lot of memorable moments in the movie like the lord of the rings. The villain Smaug is amazing he is the best villains of all middle earth history even better than Sauron he is the big bad guy of the movie but Smaug feels so much bigger. Benedict Cumberpatch has the best deep scary voice and he works so perfectly. Smaug is even very scary the size, the sounds he makes, and his voice. I only once I jumped when Smaug was playing around Bilbo. Overall I loves this movie best film of the year and finally it is as good as Lord of the Rings. A(SOLID)+
