sorry i may have come off a little snide....i actually loved the film....and all of the added stuff....sure it dragged a bit...but so what....it had 40 minutes of Smaug just f

it up!
the elves are simply bad asses (that river scene was just....well awesome! )....the necromancer side story is very interesting....and the woman who plays (Evangeline Lilly) Tauriel is absolutely stunning
but as expected Smaug stole the show.....he just looked so amazing
