Perhaps Peter Jackson thought his cast of Dwarfs wasn't good enough to create an enjoyable movie? Gandalf's scenes in Dol Guldur were an interesting addition in concept, but they are just too slow. But having them show up in every place to save the day feels wrong. Now I like Elves more than Dwarfs, so I didn't mind seeing so much of them in this movie. You have a band of 13 Dwarfs and a Hobbit, yet you rarely see them interact. The worst thing here is that the action comes at the cost of character development. There are random action scenes every 10 minutes and 'funny' decapitations every 30. I really wonder what the target audience is, because it feels like it's written for 15 year old boys. The movie tries hard to change the story wherever it can, reducing fan-favorite chapters to 5 minute scenes and writing new content that feels out of place.īut it's not only bad if you've read the book. If you thought An Unexpected Journey strayed a bit too far from the book: The Desolation of Smaug looks like the script writers didn't even know there was a book. Most reviews will tell you what's so great about this movie and why it's worth watching, but I figured you should hear the other side of the story.įirst of all a small note for Tolkien fans.
