All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug (2013)

Starring: Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Artimage, James Nesbit, Aidan Turner, Luke Evans, Evangeline Lily, Orlando Bloom, Stephen Fry, Manu Bennett
Director: Peter Jackson

Premise:
The gang of Thorin are still on the run from the Orcs when elves finally help them out. They must travel through the dangers of the Mirkwood Forest without Gandolf. They cross to a human lake town on the edge of Lonely Mountain where they must enter to find and defeat the dragon Smaug.

My Take:
While I enjoyed this segment of the new trilogy a little more the first one, the movie still seemed a tad long. Amazing special effects as always with these movies.

Rating: In the middle
