REVIEW : Follow The Cinema Company
The second installment of the three part series of The Hobbit returns in spectacular fashion beating its predecessor An Unexpected Journey in all departments. The Desolation of Smaug is a visual spectacle in all means and director Peter Jackson has ended the movie in such a way that we are left wanting for "There and Back Again" the third part to happen very soon. But sadly for that, fans of the series will have to wait till the end of 2014.
Set as a prequel to The Lord of the Rings series, Desolation of Smaug starts from where the first part ended. Bilbo, the hobbit along with the Wizard Gandalf and the thirteen dwarfs led by Thorin are on a journey to reclaim their lost kingdom of Erebor from the dragon Smaug. On their way, they battle it out with few other evil forces but their ultimate mission is to defeat Smaug who dethroned Thorin as King of the lonely mountains.
The visual effects scores it big and the epic adventure movie sets a high standard especially the climax fight scene where the dwarfs taking on dragon. The initial stage where the dwarfs battle it out with the spiders and also the scene of escape through waterfalls are couple of moments that are a treat for your eyes with brilliant and best use of technology.
The negative factor working against the movie is the length running to two hours and forty minutes, same like its prequel, the only difference here is that there is a difference of eight minutes between the two. At times you get a dragging feel but the script has taken care to ensure that the slow and boring feel is limited to the very minimum with engaging action sequences.
On the acting side, the two who impressed most was Martin Freeman as The Hobbit Bilbao and Richard Armitage playing the role of the lost King Thorin. Ian Mckellan as Gandalf the wizard also supported well along with Orlando Bloom reprising the character of Lagolas.
What takes the film to the next level is definitely the use of visual effects in the best possible way and the stand out scene is the final half hour where dragon and dwarfs battle it out and the action sequences here have been perfectly shot. Compared to the first installment that was very much dragging, this one is far far better and superior and a must watch movie for all.
I am giving 4 /5 for Peter Jackson's Hobitt series # 2 and i am eagerly waiting for "There and Back Again" to hit the screens very soon.
