    The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug Movie Description:
    Bilbo (Martin Freeman) and his companions continue their journey east and brave many dangers on their way to the Lonely Mountain, culminating in an encounter with the fearsome dragon Smaug.
    The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is a 2013 epic high-fantasy adventure film directed by Peter Jackson and produced by WingNut Films in collaboration with New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Warner Bros. Pictures served also as the distributor and is the second instalment in the three-part film series based on the novel The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. The film was preceded by An Unexpected Journey (2012) and followed by The Battle of the Five Armies (2014); together they operate as a prequel to Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
    The film follows the titular character Bilbo Baggins as he accompanies Thorin Oakenshield and his fellow dwarves on a quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug. The film also features the vengeful pursuit of Azog the Defiler and Bolg, while Gandalf the Grey investigates a growing evil in the ruins of Dol Guldur. The ensemble cast includes Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Benedict Cumberbatch, Evangeline Lilly, Lee Pace, Luke Evans, Ken Stott, James Nesbitt, and Orlando Bloom.
    Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro wrote the screenplay. The films were shot simultaneously in 3D at a projection rate of 48 frames per second, with principal photography taking place around New Zealand and at Pinewood Studios. Additional filming took place throughout May 2013.
    The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug premiered on 2 December 2013 in Los Angeles and was released internationally on 11 December 2013 in both conventional and IMAX theatres. The film received mostly positive reviews and has grossed over $959 million at the worldwide box office, surpassing both The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, making it the fourth highest-grossing film of 2013.

      In Fellowship, Frodo could see the glowing form of Glorfindel as it appeared in the wraith-world (Glorfindel replaced by Arwen in the film), which is indeed the light of Valinor coming from within them, as you said. The elves of the Noldor, or 'high elves', such as Glorfindel and Galadriel, brought the light of Valinor with them back to Middle-Earth, and walk in both realms of reality simultaneously, therefore appearing within the wraith-world as glowing beings. However, the Silvan / Sindarin elves or Mirkwood, or 'dark elves', never left Middle-Earth and never lived under the light of the Trees of Valinor, and therefore would not emit the light of Valinor from within the wraith-world. Therefore giving her the same glow as Arwen doesn't make much sense within the lore, but then again, the Hobbit films have made many changes, additions and subtractions from the lore in their adaptation to the screen... so I guess it doesn't really matter, and in this version of the story; "all elves glow to people in the wraith-world." *shrug*

    36:57 you do realize this is one book Mel? They split one book between three movies. So of course it's not going to be as action-packed as if they put it into one. But also you're watching the extended versions. So there's going to be a lot that wouldn't have been in with the theatrical version. Like we never knew what happened to thrain in the theatrical version.
    But from what I remember a lot of people enjoyed what you're disliking. Some people like the story and not just straight up action sequences all the time. You might find it boring but a lot of it was part of book. Minus tauriel. She was added only for the movie. And people of the book actually enjoyed it

    I just watched the whole Trilogy this past weekend. I noticed that this trilogy works best if you see it as one movie. Every of the LOTR movies has a beginning and an end, even though the main story is "divided" in all three. The Hobbit movies are not like that: the first movie has an introduction, in this one doesn't have an introduction and it doesn't have an end. I see it like this.
    The idea of the romance is not that bad, but they tell it really badly in these movies.
    But I've a crush on Evangeline Lilly since Lost, so I can't exactly blame Kili...

    I love the Hobbit movies more than Lord of the Rings. I mean they're classics for sure and I'll watch them whenever, but the Hobbit films just resonated with me more for sure. I love the Dwarves and the getting to see more of some of the classic characters at the same time. Kili & Fili and Dwalin are my favorite dwarves though they are all great! The CGI I thought was really good, and the romance between Kili and Tauriel was beautiful. It didn't feel forced to me, I loved getting to know some of the dwarves a little better throughout the trilogy. Idk man, I think they're great films and even though it kinda hurts my heart a little that you don't seem to like them nearly as much as LOTR, I understand to each their own. Thanks for watching them anyway. At the very least I'm glad when people give things a chance.

    The romance of the elf and the dwarf is not in the original Tolkien book. Tolkien features very few female characters, and Peter Jackson also woven female characters and romance into the film because of the balance of the story. Also, the film is surprisingly book-like.

    The Dwarves used their Rings to establish their fabled treasure hoards (which in turn attracted dragons),
    but Sauron, according to portions of the Silmarillion, was unable to force the Dwarven bearers to submit to his will.
    Indeed, the rings did not even turn them invisible; and the Dwarves were immune to some of the rings' more detrimental effects.
    It is believed that the Dwarves' natural hardiness, and the fact that it was only the more powerful Dwarf lords who possessed them,
    made them resistant to Sauron's control. While it is not directly stated,
    the Rings possibly gave the Dwarf lords who wielded them an increased life span.
    The net effect of these rings was to bring vast wealth to the wearer and cause him to become extremely greedy, which ultimately led to the wielders' ruin.

    From What I understand the ending of this film was cut short mainly because the studio did not want to give Peter Jackson more time in the theaters originally all three films were supposed to be condensed into one film but they forced him to cut it that’s why the ending is cut so short the hobbit was supposed to originally be a 4/5 hr movie that’s why there’s so much filler when the studio made him break the movie apart into 3 films he had to come up with newer conflicts/scenes on the fly like the elves fighting and the people in the towns it’s sucks that they interfered with the movies production but that is the truth the reason why there’s two one they assume no one wants to watch a long movie 2 they can increase ticket sales if the film is broken up into three parts

    Sauron didn't make the Three, nor did he ever touch them. The Three were made to preserve and nurture, but they too were under the domination of the One. While Sauron wore the One, the Elves did not put their rings on. Thrain's Ring, while still made with the assistance of Sauron was given by the lord of the Elven Smiths to Durin III of Moria, as there was great friendship between those two realms. The Dwarves were made by Aule to resist all domination, but the Rings made them greedy and angry when they couldn't get gold. As Thror said, "this ring needs gold to breed gold" and there was precious little of it in their exile from Erebor.

      @@phousefilms Those games took many liberties with the lore, though. Celebrimbor forged the Nine and the Seven with the direct aid and assistance of Sauron, while his art and knowledge of crafting and ring-lore (Sauron was originally a maia under the Aule the Smith, a vala) meant he also indirectly helped Celebrimbor forge the Three. This meant that when Sauron forged the One, all the other rings of power were tethered to it, which was his design from the beginning. That connection went both ways with the Three, however, and as soon as Sauron put on the Ruling Ring, the elves were instantly aware of Sauron's true form and of his evil thoughts and designs, and they removed their rings and hid them, knowing that they would reveal their own works, designs and locations to Sauron as long as he had the One. Only when the One Ring was lost to Sauron were the elves free to use the Three in the building and maintaining of their realms, and once the One Ring was destroyed so too was the power of the Three, being the final act in the diminishing of the elves in Middle-Earth, the departure of the Ring-bearers from the Grey Havens, and the beginning of the dominion of Men.

    You should read up on dragon lore. I'm a D&D player and it's books go very deep into it.
    Dragons are extremely intelligent, magical and can use magic.
    Smaug is an ancient red dragon, so that means his intelligence score is 18 ..... the average intelligence score for a human is 10.

    11:30 the romance between an elf and a dwarf never happened in the Hobbit book. Or any other book by Tolkien to my knowledge.
    Legolas and the lady elf weren’t in the hobbit book.
    When I first saw the movie on the day it came out, I didn’t like all the added warfare which was not in the book. Movie studios have to sell tickets so they added all that for boys and young men.
    Also, the dwarves were sealed inside the wine caskets in the book. They would not have floated staying open like that.
    Also, there were no attacking orcs on the way to lake town or any of the rest of the book after Moria.

    There's about 3 white Orges: The Defiler who got his arm cut off by Thereon,and the son who you eventually see fighting Legolas in Lake town (and he's a beasst!!!! With metal literally skin "crafted in his chest,back,shoulders and legs)I believe he's missing an eye too. You'll see the other one orge in return of the king,and he seen literally side stepping a boulder from smashing him 😒✋

    Did you read the book?
    "They could have removed 30-40 minutes..."
    There was about 2 hours of this one movie that wasn't in the book. 'The Hobbit' end to end is about half the length of any of the books in The Trilogy'.
    In pursuit of the dollar they ruined 'The Hobbit' and attempted to make it into a prequel to The Trilogy. It wasn't. A true Hobbit movie might be two hours.
    JRRT wrote 'The Hobbit' for his children who were in grammar school at that time.
    Don't get me wrong. I liked the Hobbit movies. I'm just saying that very little of this series has anything to do with the writings of JRRT.

    Kili and Tauriel's relationship is forced, but Legolas' appearance in this trilogy *isn't?* You're so eager to praise his appearance solely because you know his name and like LoTR, not because of the consistency of his character or the necessity of his appearance, or lack thereof.
    Legolas is in The Hobbit because Peter Jackson needed a heart throb for the female viewers, since he was a hit with the ladies when LoTR originally dropped.
    And even then, they still screwed up Legolas' portrayal. His character is completely different to what we see in LoTR, when the reality is that 60 years is the blink of an eye to an elf who's already 3,000 years old by the events of The Hobbit.
    Thorin was supposed to look older than Balin, and Bard's most significant tie to the plot is that he shares blood with a character that got a grand total of about 8 seconds of screen time.
    Lot of cracks in your logic here, Mell.
