The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

The second part has already begun to pass, again the same running from the orcs, etc.

10 years have passed, it is clear that everyone's faces have "changed". especially Legolas. Even Elijah (who stole the Ring🙂) got lost in the 1st part.

in the Return. The king was shown that elves (Legolas) can drink a lot. and here the drunks are already sleeping. Well, maybe because it's wine, not beer. or they drank a whole barrel. Or Bilbo forgot. it's like "according to his book" (unreliable narrator). as in the case of finding the ring, the scenes were shot in different ways.
Legolas about Gimli "Who is this?
I
remember before the 1st viewing I was waiting for the appearance of the Bard Archer. what will they make of the new / old Aragorn in fact. the future king of Dale.
Yes, the lake city is a shadow of the former prosperous Dale. like Rohan and Gondor (according to the book). and there is a rotten bug of its own. and the ruler is an asshole. "Elections? What other elections?" as a burgomaster, he has not yet declared himself king. the city does not obey anyone.
and the Blacks were given a ride (yes, Jackson was criticized for their absence from the Lord). the city is located on the territory, as it were. We'll lie. Poland and the Asians could still get there. but the Negroes.

Cumberbatch's voice is so good that he voices both Sauron and Smaug. temper. that they took Golovchansky for his dubbing. like in Sherlock.
and Stephen Fry's voice is so good that he is considered a native speaker of impeccable English and is distinguished by a unique, extremely refined classical English accent.

Well, let's just say - For VK Jackson eternal respect from me, and for continuing to shoot too. But I liked this trilogy about the Hobbit less than VK. I watched those films 10 times. This one has only been done twice, and I'm unlikely to do it again. Somehow, this is not how I imagined it all. The cast is gorgeous, I do not argue, the musical accompaniment is excellent, but somehow everything is a little overplayed and exaggerated. It seems to be the same universe, but it seems not quite the same.
Well, for example, a romance between a Dwarf and an elf is basically impossible. In the entire history of Middle-earth, there have been only three alliances between elves and humans, and all have become legendary. And at the time of the events in the Hobbit. If I'm not mistaken, there are two in general. The third were Arwen and Aragorn. No matter how good Aidan Turner (who was killed) is, and he is certainly beautiful, it's still not possible. I understand the subpoena and all that, but it's wrong.

Holmes and Watson met again 😂

"All light is sacred to the Eldar, but the light of the stars is dearest to the forest elves.
— He always seemed cold to me. Alien and unattainable.
— This is the light of memory. Beautiful and pure... like your promise.

I liked that Tauriel was introduced, yes, she was not in the book, but she clearly did not fit badly into the plot, broke up the male company. The only thing is, I would prescribe her a love line not with Killie, but with Torin. And then poor Tauriel migrated from one infantile heir to another, it turned out that she changed the sewing to soap. But Thorin is still a king, and his line is more distinct, they would suit each other.
The mayor turned out to be a credit, in general I love Stephen Fry in all his roles, now it's clear where psychologist Gordon Gordon from the TV series Bones disappeared so suddenly - Stephen went to star here. But Bart didn't come to me, it's just that. Thranduil looks like the sultans from the Magnificent Century of the Valide of Mirkwood, damn it.

I really liked the dynamics in the relationship between the characters, especially between Bilbo and Thorin. This part of the film is full of tension, adventure and incredible twists that do not let you break away from the screen.

Super 😎
