The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

(Second Viewing)

Saw it again, this time in 48 fps, which I still don’t find offensive and I actually kind of LIKE. This actually felt shorter on the second viewing, too, which is unusual. Another thing I noticed is that the “Tolkein” of it all doesn’t really matter. Yes the fan-base can enjoy that “Gimli” is the son of “Gloin,” etcetera, but Peter Jackson has made movies that people who DON’T have an encyclopedic knowledge of the books can still enjoy. As long as lanky, well-dressed pixies are impaling orcs with arrows, and tiny British dudes are outwitting dragons, I’m in!
