Day 274 - The Hobbit:The Desolation of Smaug (American)

The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug theatrical poster.jpg
 
"The film follows the titular character Bilbo Baggins as he accompanies Thorin Oakenshield and his fellow Dwarves on a quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug. The film also features the vengeful pursuit of Azog the Defiler and Bolg while Gandalf the Grey investigates a growing evil at the ruins of Dol Guldur. "
 
Way better than the first hobbit but still needs improvements. The make up and props were a little better but you could tell everyone had fake ears as Bilbo's ears looked incredibly fake. The story also had a few problems since in this film there's no clear protagonist unlike the first one. It seemed like not a lot happens in the film despite it being over two hours long. The best element was Ian Mckellen as Gandalf the Grey but I wonder why they didn't use make up on him since he looks his age in this film despite the fact the hobbit series happens before the Lord of the Rings series. Peter JAckson seems like he is learning from his past experiences but I hope the third and final hobbit will be the best in the series.
 
 
2.8/5
