From the review:
And in case you were wondering, yes, someone manages to say the title as dialogue.
We knew that from the trailer.

I don't know about that. If I see a more negative review I will post it and I'm sure there will be a few. I know some of the TORn staff that saw the movie had some issues with things. So its not all as positive as these reviews.
Its nice to see this getting off to a more overall positive start than AUJ. It does sound like purists are probably going to totally hate this movie.

Are you on the square?
I just finished reading The Hobbit for the ? time.
Thorin's death and burial is going to be tough to get through in part 3. As will Bilbo saying his goodbyes to the dwarves.

I'm at Barrels Out Of Bond myself. So I should finish hopefully before the movie comes out next week.
That part is going to be rough. I expect to cry like a girl.

Seeing this with my family the weekend before Christmas, even though it means waiting to see it.

Middle-earth's got its mojo back. A huge improvement on the previous instalment, this takes our adventurers into uncharted territory and delivers spectacle by the ton.

Nearly everything about The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug represents an improvement over the first installment of Peter Jackson's three-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved creation.

After a bumpy beginning with 'An Unexpected Journey,' Peter Jackson's 'Hobbit' trilogy finds its footing in this much more exciting and purposeful second chapter.

OK.
I haven't seen the extended cut of AUJ, do people prefer it to the theatrical cut?
I usually do, because of all the extra character bits.
I think the best EE was FoTR. It gave some breathing room, and added more character stuff.

The thing is, is that all those reviewers are jammering on about it being a "step up" from the "lackluster" first one when I thought the first one was fantastic. Makes me wonder what I'll think of TDOS.
