Movie Review: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

By | December 14, 2013

Very good, but still has its flaws. Although the film seems to be missing a few elements, like a lot of the humor and some of the epic action I’ve come to expect, it does a good job of keeping you invested throughout the two-hour plus running time. There are a few moments where things slow down and it’s easy to lose interest, but otherwise, everything moves along pretty well. The CGI is great, except for a handful of moments and designs of costumes and locations are amazing. The final part of the film does suffer from a few problems. The length of the film had me worn down and I was dreading the fact that at some point things will end fairly abruptly in order to set up the final chapter. I did see the film in 3D and felt it was a waste of money and was only impressed by one or two shots.
