THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG (2014)
On 17 December 2013 I reviewed The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on this blog. Then I compared it with The Lord Of The Rings - trilogy and was of the opinion that it was not as good. But I also admitted at the time that my judgement might be premature because that was also only the first part of a trilogy. And, boy, was I wrong. After watching this second part, I completely changed my mind: It is every bit as good! After all, it is the work of the same master director, Peter Jackson, who was also responsible for The Lord Of The Rings.
In this delivery, Bilbo Baggins and his motley crew of dwarfs endeavor to take back the dwarf mountain kingdom of Erebor that was once taken from them by a fire breathing dragon called Smaug.
Again the acting is first rate, the special effects spectacular, the story riveting and if you think the first one was too talkative, in this one there is plenty of action. I can hardly wait for the final chapter to come out. And yes, I didn't rate the first one just as I am not going to rate this one as I think it only fair to rate the series/trilogy as a whole.
