Movie News: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

The adventure continues… finally! Earlier this week, I caught a sneak preview of the second movie in the Hobbit series called The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. After waiting a full year to see what happens next to Bilbo Baggins and his un-merry band of dwarves, this movie was a great surprise.

Brace yourself for this one because there is non-stop action and great special effects to keep your hearts racing. As the group continues on to their lost kingdom in the mountain, they encounter giant spiders, friendly and unfriendly elves, and of course, the evil orcs. But that’s nothing compared to when they come face to face with a fire-breathing dragon! Bilbo will have to hold on to his courage to get through this adventure.

Check out the trailer below:

I really enjoyed watching this movie, and I could tell that everyone around me did, too!

A word of warning: The movie does have a bunch of scary creatures so skip it if that’s not your thing.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is in theatres today. If you check it out, come back and let us know what you think.
