Synopsis: The three films tell a continuous story set in Middle-earth 60 years before “The Lord of the Rings,” which Jackson and his filmmaking team brought to the big screen in the blockbuster trilogy that culminated with the Oscar®-winning “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.”
“The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” continues the adventure of the title character Bilbo Baggins as he journeys with the Wizard Gandalf and thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield, on an epic quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor.
Having survived the beginning of their unexpected journey, the Company continues East, encountering along the way the skin-changer Beorn and a swarm of giant Spiders in the treacherous forest of Mirkwood. After escaping capture by the dangerous Wood-elves, the Dwarves journey to Lake-town, and finally to the Lonely Mountain itself, where they must face the greatest danger of all—a creature more terrifying than any other; one which will test not only the depth of their courage but the limits of their friendship and the wisdom of the journey itself—the Dragon Smaug.

My advice: If you have not watch the first series of the movie, do not attempt this second series at all cost. If not, you will end up lost and feel unsatisfied at the end of the show. Overall, I find the movie below par and certainly below my expectation. I understand that this is a trilogy series, but to end it so abruptly at the end just make me dislike the show more. Fighting scene and the graphic is pretty average, though not as grand as lord of the rings. Recommend to give this movie a skip unless you are out of choice.
Rate: 5/10
