Just finished wathing 3dhfratmos. Good movie for me. Cuz night before that I watch hobbit the first. So seeing a continuation is just an awesome feeling. Great fps. Great story. Yes it ends with a black screen while the smaug flying to the town. To be continued scene just like many tv shows. Overall.. better than any tolkiens episodes. Cant wait for another 12 months.

Hmm no one still haven't mentioned about that Twilight level love triangle? I cringed so hard during that scene where Kate was healing Kili.

Also Smaug while he looks great and all, and that scene between him and Bilbo was quite interesting, it all went downhill when he starts chasing the dwarfs. He looks so dumb and clumsy. Is he like that in the novel too? I thought dragons supposed to be intelligent and cunning? Reminded me of Tom from Tom and Jerry when he tried to chase them.
Also Smaug looks more like a wyvern than a dragon, no?

Anyway GSC still goofing around?

this is continuation of part 1..
you will be lost if u don't watch the it yet.....

Yea agree with u. Boring ass movie

Watched it in 3D HFR Atmos at GSC 1U

Atmos : the demo is awesome. Seamless surround experience. 4/5

3D : the effects, depth and details are very good. 4/5

HFR : first time watching in HFR, the scenes seems fast forwarding but smooth. I think I would prefer 24fps for the immersive cinematic experience. 2.5/5

Movie : some great action sequences, more details into Middle Earth, great Smaug. 3.5/5

4 legs.... and 2 wings.... so dragon

Watched it in IMAX 3D and the 3D was surprisingly good. I felt that the movie was quite ok until they reached the fishing village where things started to get really draggy. Have to agree with some that the dragon scene drags for too long with all the chasing until it became tiring.

The soundtrack after the movie ended is a real turn off. What the hell is that?

Lol...i agree

Seems out of place

Anybody know 3d hfr atmos will screening until when? Check from gsc app until 24 only. 25 dec didn't show

Showtimes are usually updated until Wednesdays. You have to check back on Tuesday to see Thursdays showtimes onwards.
Its going to be playing in Atmos for at least another 2 or 3 weeks. They're not going to take down a big movie so soon. Especially when there's no bigger movie for the next few weeks.

so there will be hobbits 3?

Yes... Hobbit have 3 parts (Trilogy)... Everybody know it..
Just like LOTR Trilgoy..

I find the song good. The tune might be weird, but if you listen to the first time without knowing the lyrics, then you'll feel out of place

Also when Tauriel GLOWED when healing Kili!


Apparently the writers f*cked up Smaug in this one...the Smaug in the novel wasn't dumb and clumsy like the movie Smaug. In the book after he got pissed off by Bilbo, he straight unleashed all his rage on Laketown w/o all the dwarf-chasing as depicted in the movie...

I havent watched it..How long is the movie ?

WTF ending , I waited one year just to watch the dragon wake up and get out the castle?.. i mean seriously? , even the title is desolation of smaug but the movie is not focused on smaug at all.. great visuals though.

2 hours and 40 minutes

3rd Hobbit movie max duration should be 1 hr.

Coz it will be all fights and nothing else. Will see how they drag this to 2 hour 40 mins.

Maybe they will put a romeeennn scene between the dwarf and tauriel.

Height does not matter, so says Fili

They need to touch up on legolas' make up; way too old compared to LOTR. Or maybe he drank the elixir of youth somewhere in between

Watched it on Sunday, HFR 3D/Atmos at GSC 1U.

One word - elongated.

Every year, you look forward to a movie that happens to be released right at the end of it all. "The Hobbit (Part 2)" was the one to watch out for in 2013... and was it a worthwhile wait to see Bilbo and the Dwarves continue their adventure?

Well, the simple answer is this - if you want to know what happens next and did enjoy the first one, watch it. However, if you didn't really like Part 1, you are not going to be pleased with Part 2. I would go as far as to say if you remotely think Part 2 might draw you even closer to The Hobbit, you will be so wrong!

"Desolation of Smaug" is the result of wanting to have more - - more of something unnecessary. It wasn't just overly long, it was quite a pain to sit through the first half of the movie for anything worthwhile to happen. And Smaug, oh you mighty beast, how long do I have to wait for you!

I was getting more and more irritated as time went on. It seem just as the mountain is up ahead, something will hold them back... 1 step forward, 2 steps backwards. I was really, really hoping things would improve as it went on.

Unfortunately, no. The whole silliness with Kili and Tauriel - really? It just slowed the already slow movie even further. And when Kili 'took an arrow to the knee'... it was annoying as s***. Slowly, a 9/10 (started out nicely..well, nice-ish...) dropped to an 8.5, to an 8, 7.5... slowly and gradually it was becoming more and more mediocre and stretched.

At the end of it all, Smaug couldn't do crap.

He could bring down an entire village, but not a few fat dwarves. And a Hobbit. Right in front of him. Reminds me of how "Godzilla" (1998) struggled to swallow a damn car (~with the main actors in it~) when he was able to easily bring down an entire city.

Part 2 of The Hobbit is a letdown, expectations... easily was to better than the first. In some ways, while much more sinister and seeing Sauron (the eye... the whole lot with the iconic music) and Legolas were the only pleasing factors. Oh, and while Smaug couldn't do crap, Benedict Cumberbatch did an absolute stellar of a work for the voice acting bit. The dragon was also quite intimidating... but sadly, Peter Jackson chose to prolong everything for the sake of *perhaps* getting a Part 3/trilogy.

Oh well, I will definitely be seeing Part 3. I thought Part 3 was to be in the Summer of 2014 for some reason... then realized, it is another 1 year wait.

7/10

Lengthy, tedious, and stretched... a few good bits here and there, but insufficient to make "Desolation of Smaug" a movie worth recommending. The direction they took with Smaug is by far the biggest letdown of the whole movie. *Round and round we go... chasing the mice...*
