An Unexpected Journey was a good film, but I felt didn't quite know which side of the fence to settle on. Mostly a light hearted comedy adventure, but with occasional beheadings. Desolation of Smaug has fixed that by virtually eliminating the light hearted moments and I sorely felt their...

While the issue of tone both in terms of the complete lack of anything hopeful or positive and the washed out colour scheme are important (and things which I consider to be bad decisions for the material), the fact is it still could have been grim and gritty *but been good*. The real problem...
