Holy-Moly! That was one hell of a dragon. By far the best I've witnessed. Benedict made him sound even more vicious. Good call by Peter on those realistic cameras. You almost doubt all those creatures' authenticity. Dol Guldur is superbly portrayed. Cameras there would scale across the hideout. It reminds you of all those epic games you played growing up. HFR was pretty dope!
Tauriel and Legolas are magnificent as archers. Their fight sequences would make you jump on your seats. Teamwork of Dwarfs is impressive. The chemistry between Tauriel and Kili too is heart melting. Martin Freeman is perfect in The Hobbit shoes, as usual. Lee Pace carves his character of ElvenKing just brilliantly.
Smaug: Visual effects, the grandeur, expressions, dread that it caused, havoc that it created - simply out of the world! The conversation between Bilbo and the spectacular dragon is beautifully portrayed. You wouldn't miss Golem at all!
Necromancer is laconic yet his presence - profound and revere again for Benedict Cumberbatch \m/. Now an Epic ending is in the making. All hail Peter Jackson. All hail Smaug!
