Watched this a few weeks ago and forgot to drop a review!
Into the Fire is everything Desolation of Smaug should have been. Everything ridiculous and/or egregious has been excised, and while there were some parts left in that I personally don't love (mostly just one: Dol Guldur) Ranger has structured and trimmed this edit so well, that I found them surprisingly tolerable!
If you want to watch what The Desolation of Smaug SHOULD and COULD have been, look no further!
My only complaint, is that I do think the re-color of Smaug breaking out could use some TLC.
