Too little of BEORN!! =/

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2013)

This part of the Hobbit movies is a lot better than the first one! It's darker, in my opinion more well made and more exciting! I did like the first one, but I disliked that it was so childish. I know Hobbit is more or less a children's book, but anyway I thought it was too childish. This film however is much darker in it's atmosphere, Smaug was very well made and so was all the surroundings. So far so good!
I have read the book, but it didn't disturb me that there where some new added characters. What did disturb me was that BEORN was so little shown in the film. That character should have been a bigger part of this movie! I liked the actor (Mikael Persbrandt) playing BEORN a great deal and really hope that he will be given much more acting time in the next film!! Now they only hasted through that part of the movie like as if the only reason he was part of the film, was that he were mentioned in the book (but wasn't important as a character..?)! That did disappoint me a great deal as one reason for me looking forward to see "The Desolation of Smaug" was to see BEORN! As a result it was a big "fail for me"... I really hope that he will be given a lot more screenplay in the extended Bluray version later!
But anyway, I give this movie 9/10. The first part I only gave 8/10. In conclusion, this movie was a lot better and closer to the feeling of "The Lord of the Rings"-movies!
