Anyone else watch The Desolation of Smaug this weekend?

I thought the quick first-person shots during the barrel ride felt really out of place. I'm not sure about the added romance subplot, though any excuse to have Evangeline Lilly onscreen is okay with me. Half expected to hear Dream Weaver during one scene though.

Smaug was gorgeous! I was really impressed with the dragon's design and animation.

Pretty pleased overall. Granted, it's been ten years since I read the book, so I might not be the best judge of its worth as an adaptation.
