The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Ratings & Reviews
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
Jackson managed to do something that I never thought was possible--make me care about a Hobbit tale. He also delivered one of the best cliffhangers of the year. Kudos to that.
Film Comment Magazine
Max Nelson
Nearly everyone in the film is creaking under the weight of the past.
The New Yorker
Bruce Diones
The tale has no emotional resonance, and the thinness of the plot (only five of the book's chapters are adapted here) and the colorless depictions of the leading characters do it no favors.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
The hand-to-hand combat that fills the movie is seamlessly integrated into a make-believe world created by the magicians at Jackson's WETA workshop
The Atlantic
Christopher Orr
Be forewarned: Whether through ego, avarice, or unchecked enthusiasm, Jackson has wandered deep into the realm of fan fiction.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
For the casual but compelled moviegoer, The Desolation of Smaug is a fine improvement over the first offering. Tolkien aficionados may feel otherwise.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
Desolation of Smaug looks as dreary as the title would lead you to believe. The whole thing lingers in the memory as piles of sludge and ash.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
I'm not an aficionado of J.R.R. Tolkien's wonderworlds and I was bored with the first Hobbit movie. All this is by way of saying I quite liked its sequel and the second in the trilogy.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
The thematic elements are in place, the emotional tension is highly strung, and the action unfolds in a wave like the fire erupting from the dragon's mouth, overtaking all in its path.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The intricacy of the detail everywhere you look is more than gorgeous. It lends a timelessness to the story.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Superior in nearly all ways to its predecessor, this second of Peter Jackson's epic adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's not-nearly-as-massive prequel to The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a welcome surprise.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
Though a heavily beefed-up version of what happens in the book, the scene still manages to conjure up some of the primal thrills that Tolkien's novel has provided for generations of young readers.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
Peter Jackson's newest installment of the Tolkien trilogy is set afire by the scorching roar of a dragon.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The latest lap of their journey is far more focused and much more exciting than the last one.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A relentless adventure tale, teaming with rowdy action, slavering enemies and Elven gymnastics.
NPR
Ian Buckwalter
It often feels like the movie's title character is marginalized in his own story.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Director Peter Jackson performs the same kind of miracles with the digital Smaug that he did with Gollum in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Jackson's direction is spiky and majestic ...
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The Desolation of Smaug is not only eight minutes shorter than its forebear, it's at least eight minutes better - less twee, less chatty, more action, more Elvish.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Peter Jackson, take a fire-breathing bow.
