just watched the desolation of smaug yesterday, that one turned out pretty mediocre

will not watch this one in cinema either

Calling it mediocre is being generous to be honest. The stupid relationships, CGI that you can tell from a mile away, cheesy scenes etc. etc. I thought the first film was pretty good save for a few scenes and had high hopes for the second one but it was one of the biggest dissappoinments ever. I'd rather read the book for the fifth time rather than seeing the film in cinema.

Yea it is generous, as there were several acking parts, like the nonsense romance between Tauriel and Kili, as well as that molten gold/statue scene that made Smaug look dumb (he is supposed to be so much more). Many of the action scenes were fun, but did they really have to make the Orcs (and Legolas) appear everywhere for that?

Well, in the end I felt decently entertained though - not spending 20-30€ to watch it in the cinema helped there.

Don't get me started on the romance between those two, I was embarassed while watching those scenes. Just horrible. It does not happen in the book, and It is directly against everything written in the book. What were they thinking I have no idea.

One of the reasons I hated it was I watched in an expensive cinema :), but 20-30€ o.O? For that I'd hunt down Peter Jackson myself.
