"The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" was the movie that finally met the anticipation of Tolkien fans; THE FINAL APPEARANCE OF THE INFAMOUS SMAUG! The film itself was an action-packed adventure but I definitely felt that the turning point of the entire Hobbit series was revealed in the second movie of the series. To have an actor with such a seductively distinctive voice such as Benedict Cumberbatch to take on the role was such a daring and successful choice! I was definitely impressed watching Bilbo Baggins and the dwarf gang outsmart the terrifying, fire-breathing, ruthless dragon who wiped out nations! A brilliant watch for all the family!
