About

If you want big fantasy adventure, a majestic dragon presence, and entertaining performances, this one may work for you; Not for you if you dislike overlong pacing or lots of CGI filler, especially if you found The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey or The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers hard to enjoy.

Pros: Smaug is standout; great fantasy visuals; strong performances | Cons: too long; excessive CGI; fillers and distractions
