The hobbit: The desolation of smaug. (Exclusive lego) (Blu-ray, edición especial+dvd+copia digital)

Love the movie. Waiting for number 3 to come out.

Ive been thrilled with Jacksons Tolkien adaptations thus far. Over the last few decades, Ive gotten to enjoy Middle Earth through Rankin-Bass, Tolkien and Jackson-y glory and I, for one, am only glad for every format in its own right.

Of course we like many thousands have waited for the dvd to come out.

Good movie. 3D image is exemplary.

First, am I the only one that doesnt care about what others think about the movie? I can read reviews from actual review sites if I havent already seen it. By the time Im ready to buy it, Ive already seen it and like it, otherwise I wouldnt buy it. I assume you dont care what I think about the movie. Sorry for the minor rant.

The description of this Blu-Ray is: (Blu-ray + Digital HD) but when I received my copy, there was no sheet with a digital code that I could redeem and the actual disc box did not include the Digital HD wording. I only purchase DVDs with digital copies so I can watch them on the go if I choose to; dont by this edition if like me, thats what you are after.

I love the LOTR movies and for the most part loved The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey, though I was on the edge of not liking it for two reasons, the amount of straying from the original story and making it into a multiple movie series. Then theres The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, which I was originally sad to miss seeing in the theaters, but now after watching it on Amazon Instant Video, I am so disappointed! The book is so good and really doesnt need to be changed. The exchange between Bilbo and Smaug is about how Bilbo outwits him. Its part of Bilbos journey! How can they completely rewrite the story like this? I expected a little straying from the book, but not this extent of added characters and plots, while leaving out huge chunks from the book. And while Im all about action movies, I was truly bored while the dwarfs were fighting Smaug and kept waiting for them to get back to the real story. Now I probably wont bother seeing the third installment in the theater either since its no longer the movie I wanted to see. I was hoping to see The Hobbit, as written by Tolkien, not Jackson. So disappointed. Id rather just read the book again, since I can read it in as much time as it takes to see these movies.

5 stars on this cause it shows how bilbo went through his adventure.

The best part of this purchase is the nearly TEN HOURS of behind-the-scenes footage for the making of the movie. I especially enjoyed all the interesting material about bringing the dragon Smaug to life.

The bookends are just gorgeous... heavy, and of very good quality.
