The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
If you want to find a dragon today, just attend a Game of Thrones themed wedding.
In Middle Earth times - as in this adventure - you would find one near the largest supply of dwarf bullion.
The Halfling Bilbo (Martin Freeman) and the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) continue their quest to help the dwarf king (Richard Armitage) reclaim his kingdom from a dragon (Benedict Cumberbatch).
This leg of their journey is fraught with giant spiders, a were-bear, Orcs and an ominous Necromancer.
Fortunately, they receive assistance from some elves (Orlando Bloom, Evangeline Lilly), a smuggler (Luke Evans) and giant eagles along the way.
The second half of The Hobbit saga, Desolation of Smaug outdoes its predecessor with its prompter pacing, action orientated story, and infusion of human and Elvin blood.
And just imagine, once they get their treasure back, all the dwarfs can finally get gold plated leg extensions.
