The problem with these movies are they just not as good as the OG trilogy. Smaug was dope but other than that none of the fight scenes or battles scenes are gonna touch Two Towers and Return of The King.
Nothing's gonna touch Legalos bodying that mammoth in ROTK.

This movie here...geez. Now I'm going to say up front, while I'm a fan of the Lord of the Rings movies, I'm not a huge fan. I like them, I can watch them, but I get a late pass on them because I got into them fairly recently and I don't have the passion for it like I do with something like Star Wars, which I got into as a kid. And I really enjoyed the desolation of smaug but this movie started me off on the wrong foot and just kept making bad steps. It's a movie filled with people fighting that I don't care about, bad CGI, terrible comedic moments (the weasel dude) and caverns of story that really show they were padding everything out as much as they could. There are plot contrivances like the dragon's curse, that comes out of freaking nowhere in order to possibly give Thorin some arc of not wanting to be his grandfather but because of the structure of the three movies, it really feels abrupt as opposed to something that is built up and then resolved.
It's just a movie that seems to want you to care about the characters based on the last two movies but it does something that a lot of bad movies in trilogies do: they treat the last installment as another part of the story as opposed to its own story. Instead of establishing and building character like any good movie, it assumes you care and assumes you'll understand the gravity of everything happening. It definitely felt like a part 2 to the last movie and couldn't stand on its own two feet..two feet that I was ready to use to walk out on a half hour into it but didn't. It's just a chore of a movie to sit through.

breh..
i didnt care about ANY of these dudes
like in the LOTR trilogy you know EVERY single name of the person of the fellowship
8 hours later i can't name any of the dwarves other than thorin
granted lotr had some corny humor and we've gotten older..but that whole trilogy was epic'
way too much CGI in this one
hate to say it but viggo mortensen was right PJ relies too much on CGI these days.
the only parts i enjoyed were the parts related to the stone..that shyt looked dope and were dope parts of the book
and the parts hinting at the ring and with gandalf
the battle bored me..and half of it was made up.
hated the forbidden love story too
Way too much CGI. I'm a sap so the love story was the only thing I was really invested in

I really don't think Desolation Of Smaug is better than the first, the only thing it has one the first is that Smaug is probably the best character in this story, and you don't spend 45 minutes with dancing singing dwarves. But outside of that ridiculously dragged out opening, the first Hobbit plays out a lot better than Desolation with all the boring shyt with the elves and the town.

shyt was wack. 
idk breh.
i'd have to re-watch unexpected journey.. but i remember being angry in the theater at all the added radagast and azog shyt.
the pacing was just awful in that flick.
The riddles in the dark scene was worth the price of admission though.
the 2nd one played way better to me pace wise..even if they did add the corny love story.
but then again my favorite part of the book always was the spider and the forest and the escaping in the barrels part.
again i haven't re-watched either of them even though i own them.
and i'm waiting til black friday of next year before i cop this one
