WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILER(S)
[Edited this review on December 16, 2013 after watching for the second time]
Hello readers (again),
I am back with a movie review today and I am happy as a llama. It has been a year since The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was released in December 2012, the film series is back with the second part, The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug.
In this film, the audience get to hear Benedict Cumberbatch lending his voice for the majestic dragon in the mountains, Smaug. Benedict has also provided the voice for The Necromancer last year. This film has gotten me hooked and I really loved the dwarves' actions. Again, Martin Freeman's Bilbo Baggins has kept the film alive. With the addition of the Elves, I am amazed with their fighting skills and speaking of which, I loved their language and their beautiful eyes. Although Smaug is a CGI motion capture dragon, he indeed steal the showtime with his magnificent aura.
This film not only does it have brilliant motion capture effects, it also showed many valuable qualities of individual characters. For example, Bilbo Baggins who did not give up while the rest of the Dwarves walked away and Thorin's selfishness to rescue Bilbo from Smaug inside the castle.
As a viewer, I was wanting more from this film and now I am looking forward to the next sequel, There And Back Again which unfortunately is the last film of The Hobbit series. I recommend this film, especially if you are a fan of The Hobbit or The Lord of The Rings.
Ratings: 7.5/10
P.S. The ending credits' song, I See Fire by Ed Sheeran sounds amazing and do look out for Peter Jackson's cameo. :)
