Like with the first film, I am more than willing to step over creative liberties and narrative flaws because Jackson once again allowed me to spend time in Middle Earth. If you didn't care for the first one, don't torture yourself and stay home. You won't like it. If you don't like drawn out fantasy epics, stay home. You won't like it. If you like Tolkien, thought the first film was flawed but ok, you'll probably have a pretty good time as it is a much smoother ride than the first one. If you're an infantile Tolkien fetishist that loves high fantasy adventure like me, you'll love the everloving crap out of it.
This unintended trilogy is not an adaptation…
The Good: Two things: the spectacular barrel sequence and Smaug.
The Bad: Desolation of Smaug is a bloated and exhausting 161 minutes. Dialogue is often eye-rollingly cheesy. Acting is a bit shaky—Lee Pace leads the charge here as the Elven King, hamming it up like he's in a LotR parody. The love triangle between Legolas (Orlando Bloom), Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly), and Kili (Aidan Turner) feels tacked on. Legolas and Tauriel are given many moments to showcase their badassery—and it is cool at first—but all the arrow-shooting and sword-fighting quickly become repetitive and tiresome. Worst of all, the sequel continues the trend of its predecessor of being built on deus ex machina. You could…
When The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey premiered on silver screen as the first in a trilogy of films based on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, the response it received was mostly positive to mixed. The majority of criticism was targeted at the needless expansion of a single film story into three features but, in my opinion, it did commence this latest Middle-Earth adventure on the right note and, despite its sluggish pace, provided a largely satisfying experience.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is the second chapter of The Hobbit film series & picks the story right from where it was left off in An Unexpected Journey. Continuing the adventure of Bilbo Baggins who's accompanying thirteen dwarfs on their quest to reclaim…
My issues with the first film (in a review as long as the movie).
We’re back for round two of Peter Jackson’s flabby fantasy saga as Bilbo Baggins and his band of diminutive dipshits continue on their exhaustingly long quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the scaly clutches of Smaug the dragon. Oh goodie! I totally understand why people love JRR Tolkien and Jackson’s rendering of Middle Earth but I’ll be rather thankful when I never have to visit the damn place again.
The Desolation of Smaug is a rather curious movie that manages to solve some of the problems from the ponderous first film but in doing so create a whole heap of new issues. It is still…
Before I start off my review I want to say that I really liked The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. It was my #9 film of 2012. It certainly wasn't without it's flaws though. Boring at times, the tone was childish at times, etc.
I pretty much feel the exact same why about The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug as I did with the first one. I really liked it, but it's not something I consider great. There was a scene that was really great, but outside of that scene the movie is just good. The scene I'm referring to is the barrel scene, that was epic awesomeness lol. There are a few other scenes that are really good, but a…
excellent, all things considered. stakes & scale can’t match LOTR, but nails world-building & sense of adventure that made those films work. given how production works on these things, it seems foolish to suggest that Jackson learned from the raw material of the first film (which, *woof*), but... who knows. genuinely not responding to this on a curve, but it's his first film not to be at least a little embarrassing since 2003.
Bilbo comes into his own as a character, the set pieces bristle with style, each location feels at least vaguely alive, and – most crucially – the fading complexion of Middle Earth is palpable. the thing zips by, offers a ton of valuable connective tissue to the LOTR trilogy…
An awesome hero's journey. I love how Bilbo carries two remarkably precious items for such a time– some "burglar"! Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" trilogy offers almost everything I could want in a fantasy adventure saga of such scale. The stakes are high and our hobbit prevails in unbelievable circumstances.

Creo que todo mundo coincide en que es mucho más entretenida que la primera ... principalmente porque en vez de alargar los diálogos, ésta vez Jackson alargó las escenas de acción ... aunque en ocasiones, demasiado.
Hay mucho respeto y cariño hacia los personajes, incluso en todas las partes agregadas y que no existen en los libros, y esto se agradece, aunque lo agregado sólo sirve para alargar la trama, no la comprensión ni la profundidad de la historia.
Y creo que ahí está el principal problema con "El Hobbit": carece de los conflictos, emociones y reflexiones que abundan en "El Señor de los Anillos". Mientras que allá se trataba de salvar al mundo, de la amistad, de la diferencia…
Es ist etwas schwierig diesen Film ohne seinen Vorgänger und Nachfolger zu bewerten. Er hat keinen wirklichen Anfang und auch kein Ende. Aber die Reise ist(natürlich) toll gemacht. Phantastische CGI, gut gespielt und selbst in der Extendet-Fassung unterhält der Film über die gesamte Laufzeit, auch wenn er bei 3 Stunden schon etwas anstrengend werden kann.
Nicht gefallen hat mir der teils wirklich alberne, fast schon Kindische Humro und die manchmal wirklich dumm und schlecht geschriebenen Dialoge.
Allgemein hätte er für meinen Geschmack durchaus etwas düsterer sein können.
Trotzdem ein guter Film, der die Trilogie des Hobbits und natürlich die Vorgeschichte zum Herrn der Ringe sinnvoll erweitert.
Entertaining but stupid, with lots of badly-aged CGI and a Sauron storyline that is way more interesting than the suspense-free stuff that happens to the dwarves with whom I cannot build any relationship.
But for a more than two-and-a half hours long movie it feels pretty short, so entertainingwise it's not bad.
Lo de la ciudad sobre el agua tiene su atractivo pero el asunto del acedio al dragón se vuelve insoportablemente largo y tedioso. Una decepción muy cara.
