Pack your family and go fight the the spiders

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2013)

The first move (Unexpected Journey) was kinda ruined for me, because I watched in HFS and came out of the theatre, with my eye balls rolling in different directions (yeah, like a chameleon). I felt that movie was bit dragged. So, this time, I watched "Desolation of Smaug" in 2D.
Man, It was wonderful. I was sitting at the edge of the seat nibbling my finger nails throughout the whole movie (eh except for those romantic scenes: oh gross). I have read the book and I can say that the plot is kinda 60% goes with the book. However, those modifications add a lot of value to the movie (eh, except for the romantic scenes : It felt like the "Madagascar" love scene between the giraffe and hippo: "unnatural" )
Overall, it is a movie full of adventure and action and could be considered a fantastic entertainer to end your year with, even if you have read the book already.
