The Hobbit 2 - Say what you want about Jackson turning this single book into three movies (not sure how that is any different from a Game of Thrones book being turned into 10 hour long episodes, but no one complains about it) the man once again proves how much he loves Tolkien. It does to Journey what Two Towers did to Fellowship as this movie is just down right fantastic! It is fun, has excellent looking creatures in it, and a great score to boot. The only stuff I will say the movie detracted from is that Legolas is still Mr Perfect in everything he does, but now that I know he is the son of a king, it kind of makes sense that that is how he was raised to be (especially with how much of a douche his father is). Oh, and a romance between a Dwarf and an Elf felt forced. Other than that though, this movie is so fast paced I thought it was only halfway through when it ended. I cannot wait until July for the next one as it is going to be great!! If you found the first one to suck (which makes you soul less (JK)) or you just hate Jackson just because he does good things, then you will not like this movie so go see something else and save yourself a bitchfest. However, if you are a fan of the first movie and LotR in general, there is no reason you would not enjoy this one. I give Desolation of Smaug a 9/10. Oh, and the only thing I felt the movie needed was Smaug saying, "Elementary my dear boy." :-p

Oh yeah, and we did not get the Godzilla or Interstellar trailers. Instead we got another Onimusha, Smitty, and Divergence trailers. -_-
