I saw The Desolation of Smaug this weekend.
The unspoilery review is: Some *great*, some *mediocre* and a lot *terrible*. Overall it was unsatisfying.
( Here there be dragons. And by dragons I mean spoilers )
In general, the big problems with the movie are that Peter Jackson has fallen in love with overly long action sequences that don't really add to the movie, and there are way too many of them. And enough plot changes happen in order to create these long sequences that lead things happening that are either unbelievable, impossible or out of character in order to implement them.
