The hobbit: The desolation of smaug. (Exclusive lego) (Blu-ray, edición especial+dvd+copia digital)

The director of this movie obviously thought he could do a better job than Tolkien with this story. As Mama always used to say, thats what you get for thinking. No character, much less plot development, the tale has been reduced to comic book mentality with any script just leading up to another car chase action sequence with stop action frames of Bloom and limpid lip Lilly posing, and scenes of Freeman looking and acting incredibly stupid

I loved the Lord of the Rings Trilogy that Jackson directed. As a person who has read the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit 8 times or so and Peter Jackson being the directer of HEAVENLY CREATURES, the comedic ultraviolent horrorshow that was DEAD ALIVE and the hardcore muppet porn MEET THE FEEBLES I shook my head in awe that he pulled off the awesomeness of the LORD OF THE RINGS. Unfortunately all my fears I had for the LORD OF THE RINGS came true in the first HOBBIT movie. I hated it with a capital H. Im not sure how my arm got twisted into going to see the DESOLATION OF SMAUG, but it did. I was stunned, blown away, in awe once again. Peter Jackson made up for the garbage that the first HOBBIT movie was and made a sublime DESOLATION OF SMAUG. And really it boils down to the dragon himself, the magnificent mighty SMAUG. SMAUG is how a dragon should be, the greatest onscreen dragon, period. The banter between Smaug and Bilbo is classic. And the last two lines of dialogue in the movie, spoken by Smaug, awesome.

Wouldve liked more action from Beorn and the spiders . . .

Diverges from the book too much but gives three hours entertainment if you want the children entertained by a classic.

Great movie, as long as your not one of these its gotta be exactly like the book folks. Yes, there are a LOT of additions and expansions from the book, but it does make for a very exciting movie. Not really any wow, zipping toward your face 3D effects, but the depth of field does make it more enjoyable to watch, in my opinion. Lots of good extras for those who like spending a much time (or more) on these than on the movie itself.

Truly, it had all of the cheap thrills money can buy, but it was 10% soul & heart with meaning, and the rest was money-making. May i remind the public that the actual Hobbit book was only a thin, one volume story. Lord of the Rings actually WAS supposed to be three books so it makes sense that it was three movies, but making the Hobbit into this huge long saga? In my view, this is absolutely Ridiculous. This film was entitled The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug; Smaug wasnt even desolated in it; the title made me think hes going to be killed in this one; and I dont take kindly to being tricked, even slightly in this way. I dont think Id give this strongly of a negative review if I wasnt overwhelmed and befuddled at the amount of positive reviews I just read. It lacked substance and good material; Im disappointed with Peter Jackson. But I will continue to be honest, and conclude that i enjoyed the celebratory note of bringing aspects from the Lord of the Rings: similar lines in the script, same melody of music, etc... It made these Tolkien movies flow.

very good... a little different than I remember the tale going as a kid growing up on LOTR

This movie was great. Except the picture became very pixelated and would send an error message during the entire film.

Loved the movie and am glad that I bought this DVD
