The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug The Hobbit: Negative Comments on the Battle of Smaug

The result is the most important. The result of the film is: as a story, as an adventure, as the direction of a work of art, as a visual spectacle, it is as desolate and failing as the title in almost every aspect. () 
The biggest problem focusing on "The Hobbit 2" is still too long. The 166-minute movie length and the 3D version still make people's eyes a little uncomfortable. Although the second episode eliminates the need to introduce characters and directly enters the main story, the endless encounters with dangers, non-stop scene transitions and other clearance games are somewhat "visual fatigue". What's more, the characters in the film are extremely complicated. There are as many as thirteen dwarves. With the addition of various elves, necromen, orcs, wizards, etc., fans who are not familiar with the original can neither remember their names nor recognize them. Staying on the face, it's no wonder that you want to feel drowsy. ()
