Desolation of Smaug midnight premier. *spoilers*

[Razosh]

Personally I loved it even more than the first movie. Jacksson once again made a great film about the tale of Bilbo and Thorin that comes out as a fitting movie for adults yet still keeps some of the childish themes from the book in it. Azog the Defiller was once again featured but slightly less than in the first, I personally think that he could have been in the film more since in my opinion he fills a vital role that is ignored in the book. We also got to see more of the dwarves and hear stories of their families and their people, which was really enjoyable. Then we had the cliff-hanger ending and even though I have to admit it stings now, in 1 year no person is going to care about the cliff-hanger and we will have a more entertaining ending to the trilogy than if the third film was just about the road home.

So what do you think, was this film good or bad?

Well, I've still yet to watch it... midnight screenings aren't my thing... especially when I wake up 5am to get to work...

I won't be seeing it this weekend unfortunately. I'm definitely getting tickets for a 48fps showing next week.

I wanna watch in HFR, but sadly there isn't one showing near me...

Having seen the first film in high framerate I can assure you you're not missing out on anything.

Just watched it, imo it lacked a great battle, otherwise it was good and worth the ticket

 

[Adiktuz]

I actually liked the battles in the movie... and the ending is really well-placed... makes you wanna watch the next one...

Yeah, the battles were neat.
