Rating: 8.4

Plot:
At the Prancing Pony Inn in Bree, Gandalf the Grey persuades Thorin Oakenshield to obtain the Arkenstone to unite the dwarves, and suggests that a stealthy burglar may be needed to steal the jewel back from Smaug.

One year later, Thorin and his company are being pursued by Azog and his Orc party down the Carrock following the events of the previous film. After Bilbo informs the group that a bear is also tracking them, Gandalf ushers them along to the nearby home of Beorn to seek his aid; Beorn is a skin-changer whom has taken the form of the bear. That night, Azog is summoned to Dol Guldur and instructs his son Bolg to take over the hunt for Thorin. The following day, the company reaches Mirkwood where Gandalf discovers Black Speech graffiti imprinted on an old ruin, and abruptly leaves without explanation. He cautions them to remain on the path and wait for him before entering the Lonely Mountain. However, they lose their way and are caught by Giant Spiders. Bilbo, with the help of the One Ring, sets about freeing the Dwarves, which results in him dropping the ring; Bilbo begins to learn of the corrupting influence it has on him after brutally killing a spider to retrieve it.

Meanwhile, the Wood Elves arrive, led by Legolas and Tauriel, who in turn capture the Dwarves. They are then imprisoned following an altercation with the Elvenking Thranduil, only to be packed into empty wine barrels and sent downstream by Bilbo, who had evaded capture. While being pursued by the Elves, they are ambushed by Bolg and his Orc party and in the ensuing chaos Kili is wounded. Thranduil then seals off his kingdom when he learns that "The One" has returned, while Legolas and Tauriel leave to assist the Dwarves. Meanwhile, Gandalf meets with Radagast to investigate the tombs of the Nazgûl, which are found empty.

While being hunted by Smaug, Bilbo and the Dwarves trick him into rekindling the forges; they attempt to kill the dragon by burying him alive in molten gold. However, Smaug emerges and stumbles out of the mountain determined to destroy Lake-town and its people for aiding the Dwarves. He then takes to the air as Bilbo watches in horror at what they have unleashed.

Ben is lovely. And he's getting funnier as he gets more confident too. I'm really pleased with this new wave of talented actors. I feel like we're finally pulling out of the "Just smile and be pretty, this is Hollywood" phase we've been in for a while.
