For the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, the beautiful and magnificent New Zealand prairie unreservedly shows the ancient and mysterious grandeur of Middle-earth. He interprets everything that happens here like a beautiful scenery, as if Fascinating and nostalgic like a mythical epic. In fact, whether it is a novel or a movie, it is a magnificent epic in itself, which makes this series of movies have an unshakable position in terms of art and influence. For the value of movies and novels, if you find another way to open up a prequel series "The Hobbit" comparable to the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. This has to be said to be an attempt, but it is more like an adventure. Although the great director Peter Jackson's ability to control and tell stories is unparalleled, there is one thing that makes people doubt that he can really make "The Hobbit" To make it as classic as the "Star Wars Prequel" series, no matter which way you think about it, it seems to be a difficult problem with countless propositions hidden.

From "The Hobbit 1" to the second film, in essence, the film has changed from the "Lord of the Rings" series in nature. Compared with the "Lord of the Rings" series of films, the serious theme and the broad humanistic Spiritually speaking, "The Hobbit" begins to embark on a pleasant and relaxing adventure. Although it belongs to the same line of story lines, the stories and plots revealed seem to be taking a diametrically opposite path. As a prequel, re-creating the main characters is a very careful and ingenious work, because the shaping of the protagonist is the key to a good continuation of a story. It connects the prequel and the follow-up series, and it is the link of the plot development. Perfectly connected with the plot, the entire series will be particularly outstanding, especially wonderful. But when you watch this movie, you will find that what the whole story lacks the most is a sense of heaviness. The first one didn't show much at the beginning, but in this one, this problem is quite prominent. Although the director has done a perfect job in terms of the fineness of the picture and the control of the rhythm of the story, the development of the whole plot is very thin and there is almost nothing worth advancing. The story of nearly two hours is almost always In showing a process of chasing an adventure, and the real plot is just to find a giant dragon and encounter a giant dragon, the climax part of the movie is just playing hide-and-seek game with the giant dragon, obviously such a plot obviously cannot be regarded as an epic masterpiece The content it should have, as the second part of the "The Hobbit" trilogy, the responsibility is to assume a linking role. It is necessary to continue the last movie as a continuation of the main plot development, but also to open a new wonderful story worth telling, but the story is too simple and direct, even the rescue of the elf prince seems pale and powerless, blindly relying on actions It seems that this should not be what a big director should do. Although the director put a lot of effort into the scene, it just brought us a great disappointment from the feeling. Maybe a thin book really shouldn't be expanded into three movies, which makes people feel that the connotation is lost and the content is lacking.

However, the movie still continues the excellent quality of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, both the scenes and the special effects give people a feeling of endless aftertaste. The appearance of the giant dragon has brought the movie to a new climax. The anthropomorphic design of the giant dragon makes us feel refreshed, and the dialogue in a Shakespeare style makes the giant dragon look so high-end and elegant. Dragons are also a noble and elegant high-society species.

The ending of the movie continues the design of the previous one, with a chest-pressing aura that is about to come and the wind blows. Although the first half of the movie has a drowsy feeling, the good-looking parts are still put on. at the end. The 20-minute climax scene made us full of addiction to watching the dragon. It turns out that the dragon can also behave in this way. The thinness of the plot makes this film a bit awkward, but it has to be expanded into three parts, who can say it can be better than Peter Jackson?
