I just watched Desolation of Smaug.
Don't worry, I won't spoil.
Reactions:
Kyaaa~ the elves~ Thranduil, Legolas!
fangirling! (Orly B, your age is showing. ahahahaha!) Sorry, Tauriel, I don't care much about you, except for your hair color, which I love. Smaug is the most awesome CG dragon, so far. And as always, the backdrop of New Zealand is stunning.
Story-wise, purists might/will hate PJ's rendition, but for a movie, his vision works. It is faster than the first movie, with lots of action scenes. I felt it should be longer, oh well, I'll wait for the extended edition.
I like it and I can't wait for the final installment next year!
Battle of the 5 armies! Whooooot!
I can't wait to see Thranduil in battle. I want to see more of his katana-like sword in action.
