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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
