Finally finished watching The Hobbit Trilogy in a marathon, watched the 3 movies in 2 days. And while the last one wasn't that good it was clearly much better than The Desolation of Smaug, which is imo the worst Middle-Earth movie by far.
For those of us who like fantasy movies, we don't get many of those D&D style so we kind of appreciate anything better than the average shit but reading the book twice, i honestly expected more from Peter Jackson when he had a bigger budget than LOTR.
It's like he spent it all on that horrible over the top CGI. Didn't like the build up and the choice of dialogues. Apart from the first one, which was okay, the other two were very forgettable and didn't do justice to the book.
