Check out what few of the critics have to say in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug movie review....

Times Of India
The film is supremely accessible and enjoyable, even if you haven't read Tolkien. And surprisingly enough, to keep things from getting heavy, there are more than a few laugh-aloud moments courtesy the Dwarves. This one's a packed-to-the-gills entertainer from start to finish.

IBN Live
The highlight of Peter Jackson's second movie in The Hobbit trilogy was always going to be the appearance of the fire-breathing dragon Smaug, as confirmed by the film's title.

The Guardian
Something of a mixed bag, then, with several question marks left hanging over the entire Hobbit project, but a definite improvement on the previous outing, and hopefully a portent of better things to come in There and Back Again.

ABC News Radio
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is a vastly different movie than its predecessor, last year's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which at times was unexpectedly boring and laborious.

Quickflix
We're now 343 minutes deep into the saga of The Hobbit, and I'm still having trouble keeping the names of Bilbo Baggins' thirteen (thirteen!) dwarvish companions straight in my head.

Urban Cinefile
The attention to detail is extraordinary, and the filmmaking techniques are all excellent, yet I find myself outside the picture looking in throughout the film, analysing it instead of believing it.
