I watch Hobbit II without watching any of the LOTR movies..

At first the dwarf's quests were pretty good. But once Bilbo went into the mountain and faced Smaug, the whole movie pretty much went to hell for me. The whole "fights" against Smaug was so silly and dragged on far too long unnecessarily. The whole hide and seek with the Smaug was way too ridiculous and Smaug was really incompetent. Do you seriously want me to believe that somehow, dragon fire was useless if you hide behind pillars? For all the rampage inside the mountain and all those fire breathings, somehow none of the dwarfs bit it? Ugghh

I thought it was pretty entertaining, the battle was rather great to watch, but the good guys somehow can win because a few dwarfs and some eagles came and helped...whut?

And they could have easily included how Bard sniped down the dragon into the last movie and made it a better one with proper conclusion

"Why does it hurt so much?"

"Because it was real"

So much cheese there
