Hobbit, The: The Desolation of Smaug
horizontal line

An entertaining, wit-filled, action-packed, fast-paced, 3D, star-dotted (Lee Pace, Stephen Fry, Stephen Colbert, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Andy Serkis, Hugo Weaving, and Luke Evan), 160-minute, Peter Jackson prequel to J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy with terrific special effects and choreography in which the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) and thirteen resourceful dwarves (Richard Armitage, James Nesbitt, William Kircher, Aidan Turner, Dean O'Gorman, Stephen Hunter, John Callen, Ken Stott, Peter Hambleton, Graham McTavish, Jed Brophy, Mark Hadlow, and Adam Brown) are imprisoned then helped by the weapon-wielding elves (Orlando Bloom, Evangeline Lilly, et al.) when they are attacked by vile Orcs on their way to meet the Wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) at the ominous, gold-filled mountain home of the dragon king (voiceover by Benedict Cumberbatch).
