PJ has perfected the desolation of smaug and hopefully will carry on with There and Back again

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2013)

With all due respect to those who are criticizing the movie and calling it a lame effort by peter jackson by missing this and that....they all should consider one big fact that reading a good book again and again, feeling and imagining every single line of it in your warm bed or sofa is something else and making a movie way beyond the imagination with running and talking and fighting characters in mountains, rivers or lakes is surely a very different and hard thing to do.
I love to read books and books have got a vital role in building our philosophical and intellectual as well as imaginative ability. But if someone takes this challenge to make a very good movie based on a book then he is surely doing nothing but an impossible thing and peter jackson has done something very close to this impossible thing. Millions of people who didn't even know about respected J R R Tolkien and his written work now know about him and there will be many who will find themselves fascinated to read his books.
I personally have found DOS a lot better and improved than first one and if there is any single area where we can take that one score away from 10 is the background music, it has not been as good as lord of the ring and can be rated as good but not very good. I surely can wait for the 3rd and final part as i got one more good movie to watch again and again till next December. good luck to peter jackson and i hope we gonna watch some as amazing as DOS
