It’s that he continues to be a more surly and unlikable version of another heir to the throne who could potentially succumb to the mistakes of his short-sighted ancestors. It’s not just because he’s annoying - although he is.

Thorin obviously has the most characterization, which is unfortunate, since I actively dislike him. I have basically told you everything I know about them.ģ.

And you know, they aren’t just any assholes - they are the main characters on the quest. And those I CAN describe. Without cheating by going over my last review (where I know I complained about this), I can now say that the Dwarf Party includes Gloomy Pants Thorin, Cute Boy Kili, Kili’s Loyal Brother (who I think is named Fili and is actually rather attractive himself without his dwarf hair), Gimli’s Pa, a Goofy Looking Dwarf, an Old Mentor Dwarf, and an Overweight Dwarf who Happily Uses Himself in a Barrel as a Bowling Ball for Orcs.ģ69 minutes, and I can’t describe, much less name, all thirteen of these assholes. Also, the characterization is shit because I have now spent two movies, or over 360 minutes, with these dwarves, and I still barely know anything about them. Unfortunately, it also feels almost as directionless as its predecessor, and there’s virtually no tension in it of any kind.Ģ. The Desolation of Smaug isn’t a terrible movie, and I think it’s faster-paced than its predecessor. This is definitely going to be a Baby Review because, honestly, I don’t have a whole lot to say about it. Bilbo, meanwhile, starts playing around with his nice, new, gold ring.ġ. The dwarves continue their quest to get to the Lonely Mountain, defeat the evil dragon Smaug, and reclaim their homeland. I just can’t seem to get into this new trilogy at all. I liked it better than An Unexpected Journey, but. So, the other day, I finally watched The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
