Igar var vi pa bio och sag Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. Jag tycker att den var battre an den forsta filmen, men jag maste anda saga att aven den gjorde mig lite besviken.
Jag kan ju historien fran att ha lyssnat pa ljudboken och jag vet att nar man laser en bok forst och ser en film senare sa kan man alltid bli besviken just for att man har en annan bild av karaktarerna eller omgivningen. Tex. att den kvinnliga alven inte ens existerar i boken, det ar bara en pahittad karaktar for filmen, det gor att storyn andras. Men jag hade anda stora forhoppningar om de har filmerna. Sagan om ringen var ju otroligt bra filmer och jag hoppades pa att Hobbit skulle ligga pa samma niva, men nej, inte alls tyvarr. Jim som inte har last boken eller kan historian tycker inte heller att filmerna var bra. Dessutom har de filmat sa mycket som formodligen ska gora 3D versionen valdigt bra, och det funkar tyvarr inte sa bra nar man ser den vanliga versionen (vi ar inga stora fan av 3D sa darfor vi gick pa den vanliga).
Om jag ska saga nagot som var bra med filmen sa tycker jag faktiskt att de har gjort draken Smaug valdigt bra. Valdigt trovardig karaktar. Jim tyckte det var konstigt att draken pratade, men det gor den i boken ocksa och jag gillar det. Efter att ha sett tv-serien Sherlock tycker jag valdigt mycket om skadisen som spelar Bilbo Baggins.

English: Yesterday we were the movies and saw The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. I think it was better than the first movie, but I gotta say that it made ​​me a little disappointed.
I know the story from listening on the audio book and I know that when you read a book first and see the movie later you can always be disappointed just because you have a different image of the characters or the surroundings. For example, that the female elf does not even exist in the book, it’s just a fictional character for the movie, that the story change of course. But I had high hopes for the movies. Lord of the Rings was incredibly good films and I was hoping that Hobbit would lie on the same level, but no, not at all unfortunately. Jim did’t read the book or knows the story, didn’t think that the movie was good either. Also, they have filmed so much that probably should make the 3D version very good, and that unfortunately doesn’t work so good when you see the regular version (we are not big fans of 3D so therefore we went on the regular).
If I’m going say anything that was good about the movie, then I actually think that they have made the dragon Smaug very good. Very believable character. Jim thought it was strange that the dragon spoke, but he does in the book too, so I liked it. After watching the tv-show Sherlock, I very much like the actor who plays Bilbo Baggins.
