Desolation, while barely even a good movie, was an abortion of a "Hobbit" movie.
Well said. What a disappointing movie after all the positive reviews. Yet another pretty computer generated action movie. The world is not short of those. The irony is the story line of the greed of the dwarves bringing them down and watching Smaug drowning in gold (temporarily). And then thinking about Peter Jackson milking Tolkien's The Hobbit into a contrived trilogy. Awesome.
Sorry to the rest of you but this was not a good movie for anyone who has an understanding of Tolkien's books. And it's really not very good on any terms.

Has anyone mentioned the over the top amount of gold?
With that much gold, gold wouldn't actually have been rare, thus it wouldn't have been worth anything.
Not to mention the RIVER of molten gold and the 100 foot tall gold statue.
Everything was over the top. The more I think about it the more I think this one was even worse than the first one.
He essentially made a caricature of the hobbit.
I do love your point that the book is about greed and yet the splitting of the movie into 3 fracking movies was fueled 100% by greed.
