The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Peter Jackson delves deeper into Bilbo Baggins’ journey through Middle-earth, ramping up the danger and intensity as he faces the formidable dragon Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch). Political intrigue and betrayal simmer beneath the surface, adding a darker tone to this middle chapter.
Martin Freeman evolves in the role of Bilbo, showcasing newfound courage and wit, while Richard Armitage exudes strength and determination as Thorin Oakenshield. However, it’s Cumberbatch who steals the show, delivering a mesmerizing and menacing performance as the sinister Smaug, with chilling dialogue and powerful voice work.
Though it’s the second act of the trilogy, The Desolation of Smaug maintains its momentum, proving that dragons may slumber — but they never stay asleep for long.
