Honestly I felt like the battles were a bit overdone. I mean, I get that this is fantasy, but honestly, if the dwarves can be COVERED in goblins and still fight through and escape, I think they could probably figure out a way to get rid of Smaug on their own. I liked a lot of things about the movie, but some stuff was just too unbelievable.
