My thoughts of Desolation of Smaug

Butterbeer · 01-13-2014, 01:55 PM

First things first: I think I should win an Oscar just for my totally impromptu genuine suprise at just being logged in... I literally physically body-moved with suprise at remembering my log in on first try!

Bring on the dare-devil motorcycle-pyramid emoticon Badger Team...

At this point I should likely point out that this very afternoon, as is, I decided life is too short not to take some time out to frequent an Inn, a merry old Inn... and to sit beside the fire...

So, im currently wrestling with a rather more Canny, Cunning and cruel Monster than Smaug: yes im typing on my phone....

Therefore I beg you all in advance: laugh only at the genuinely bad spelling: the rest will be me losing a "game of patience" with the phone. .. and already I am weary!

I suspect ill edit this later hopefully.... but for now ill post this and go for a smoke and pint
And continue shortly

I Don't Know If I want to see it now without the Attercop and Other parts not being good.

This is turning into a reunion thread.

I gave it a B+. Like afro-elf and BoP, I enjoyed this the most out of all of the franchise films.

Partly to do with the setting. I took my sons and we sat on leather sofas in the front row, drank beer and hooted with laughter all the way through. This is what going to the pictures is supposed to be like. Or it was for us anyway. Not sure about the people behind us.

There is a lot to nitpick about, especially goblins in Laketown wtf, Tauriel gtf, etc. But I actually thought Beorn was well done and in the end, I'm not bothered about changes as long as it is a good film. It was all done with an aplomb that was missing from the four previous films.
