The Hobbit - Desolation...
Just returned from The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug.
I loved it! I know, the story has been over embellished by Jackson and they are creating more than was in the books but I don't think it is terrible. Some stuff in the first movie bothered me, i.e. the Witch-king being buried in a dark place that no one would ever find - but all in all the two movies have been very entertaining.
What's even better - they have encouraged me to break out the books and pick up my chronicle again. My brain tends to work in genres and will go from Star Trek to Star Wars to some kind of Swords and Sorcery. Well, it is time to shelf the Star Wars campaign and dust off Middle-earth!
