This should have been the movie we saw in theaters
After finishing DonkeyKonga's Hobbit An Unexpected Journey which I loved my expectations for Desolation of Smaug were very high. The disclaimer for reviewing these edits asks us to be honest and gives a breakdown on how the ratings work with 10 being flawless I bring this up because when I say this IS a flawless edit Its not just hyperbole. To me this is the definitive cut of Desolation of Smaug I can't think of any faults in this edit even small things everything here just works. The pacing and edits work so well I was never lost and never noticed any breaks in continuity, all the fake cgi has been removed so no giant golden statue or shield ride, and Smaug no longer dies an anticlimactic death before the title of movie 3. I could go on and gush but I will finish by saying this is my go to version for Desolation of Smaug Well Done DonkeyKonga.
