Mirkwood, Lake Town, and an awesome Smaug make for an epic adventure 

Less irritating, but also somehow less interesting and less funny. Did enjoy the return cast though.

The budget Knives Out with a surprisingly decent cast and competent plot (despite Adam Sandler 😅).

A decent attempt at the concept, though ultimately I'm not sure how much the concept was needed.

Nothing novel, but entertaining enough with some nice character moments.

A welcome return, albeit a little short and sanitised.

Ridiculous yet fun enough.

A little on the nose, but beautifully designed and an excellent message.

Never quite his Guy Ritchie heights, but a seriously fun romp with a stellar cast.

Surprisingly coherent and fun. It doesn't do anything that original, but as a rehash of Toy Story meets Oceans Eleven it kinda works.

Fun creatures and a simple, yet consistent story make for an enjoyable ride 

It was fun to see the old gang back together, but we still didn't need this franchise.
