We
went to watch The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug at the Vue cinema in
Accrington yesterday - and thoroughly enjoyed it. A long film but, apart
from some of the chase sequences perhaps going on just a little too
long, far from boring. The special effects were superb and Smaug the
most impressive dragon I have seen so far in any movie. I feel a bit
sorry for the orcs, mind. Not only are they cursed
by being ugly but are the worst fighters anywhere. For all their
aggression they don't seem able, whatever their numbers, to kill even
one dwarf, hobbit or elf in any of their fights, at least onscreen. If I
were them I'd give up any hopes of martial victory and take up farming
instead. Or wrestling. As warriors they're rubbish.
