Opinion of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Awful. Absolutely and totally awful. I'm grateful that I went to an incredibly late showing, so that aside from the two folks I went with, only two others were there to hear my frequent tirades against that disaster of a so-called adaptation.

It's quite an entertaining film, as long as you put to one side the fact that as an adaptation of a book, it is an absolute travesty.

Agreed.  You have to separate yourself the book.

What would be the point of that? The entire reason the movie was made was to be an adaptation (albeit a poor and atrocious one) to the book.

And even if we let the film stand on its own, it was still incredibly long.
