8.0/10 stinky bananas
First one was better. The beginning is good. The end is great. The middle is boring.
The only reason the score isn’t lower is because the dragon is just so damn cool. Benedict Cumberbatch does a phenomenal job with the voicing and mocap.
Getting a big dose of Legolas was a delight. Who doesn’t love Legolas?
Overall, not the worst sequel I’ve ever seen.
Watch it to see the dragon. Dragons are cool. Especially this one.
