Review Detail

While weaker than the first one, the hobbit part2 offers some of the best scenes/moments in the trilogy (i'm fire, i'm death beats i'm vengeance hands down). But it also feels more stretched and somewhat atonal than the others with serious and quite dark scenes followed by comedic nonsense. This cut improves on all of that and offers the most entertaining version of this film. A clear highlight for me was the opening and the way smaugs end was resolved. Like the first part the editing was great.
