While still slightly hamstrung by "middle chapter" narrative problems and its formidable length, The Desolation of Smaug represents a more confident, exciting second chapter for the Hobbit series. Read critic reviews

Movie Info
Having survived the first part of their unsettling journey, Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) and his companions (Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage) continue east. More dangers await them, including the skin-changer Beorn and the giant spiders of Milkwood. After escaping capture by the dangerous Wood Elves, Bilbo and the dwarves journey to Lake-town and, finally, to the Lonely Mountain, where they face the greatest danger of all: the fearsome dragon Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch).

I'm happy to be back in this world, but Empire this ain't.
-
another enjoyable episode of middle earth. highlight of this one had to be legolas.
-
It has its moments, but I feel that on the whole this is just a boring and pointless film. Nothing really happens here...this is just a bridge between the first and final films in the series.
Stephen S Super Reviewer -
25 minutes of average video-game cutaway material in a three hour bore fest. Martin Freeman decent enough, though.
