In between Christmas shopping, I took in The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. More action than the first installment, I like the female elf-warrior Tauriel played by Evangeline Lilly even if she is not a JRR creation. My only complaint is that Beorn had so little time on screen. Maybe he comes back in the 3rd installment. At least he wasn't edited out like Tom Bombadil. Each character was introduced in a set piece that really didn't set the plot moving but terrific characters nonetheless.
