The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug 8.5/10
Much better than the first outing. Feel like the series would have been much stronger if they somehow could manage to compress the first two movies into one (making it a two film series again).
A couple of notes: I would like to Fili Evangeline Lilly. I liked the addition of her and Legolas into the plot.
I got confused with Bard, because he looks exactly like Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Carribean.
Smaug kind of sounded like Scar from the Lion King.
Also, I felt that the "Misty Mountain" song was sorely missing from the film's score. I thought it would become like The Fellowship Theme in LotR, that would reoccur in all the movies.
