Everything Wrong With: The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug was the second film in Peter Jackson’s trilogy based on the not-really-that-long book by J.R.R. Tolkien. And while the visual effects in the film were stunning, we all know it could’ve been an hour shorter without losing anything. And where did that scene of Smaug chasing the Dwarves and Bilbo through the gold furnaces come from anyway? But, we give it all a pass because we got to see Smaug in all his glory and voiced so well by Benedict Cumberbatch.
