![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In those cases we've marked the possible spoiler like this. There are a handful of cases where it's hard to fully discuss something without at least mentioning what's likely to happen in the future, though. As far as possible, we've tried to avoid possible spoilers for the final movie by restricting this discussion to those chapters of The Hobbit covered so far. We'll also be making references (of course) to the original book of The Hobbit, and to The Lord of the Rings, though we've generally tried to avoid crucial plot points. If you haven't, you'll find this article absolutely full of spoilers, so don't read ahead if you want to enjoy the full experience of watching the movies. If you're reading this article, we're assuming that you've seen both The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, and also the other movies in Peter Jackson's Middle-earth saga. In parts of what follows, we've straightened out some of these twists and turns to make it easier to cover different topics without confusing matters too much. Structurally, this second movie is notably less linear than the first, with several scenes sandwiching themselves into other pieces of action, and multiple plot strands running simultaneously. Nonetheless, the core story remains remarkably consistent with Tolkien's original tale. This film is far from a direct translation from page to screen, however there are numerous new incidents and characters, and many shifts from the original story (at some points while watching the film, even knowing the book, it's hard to anticipate what's coming next). In comparison to the book, the events in The Desolation of Smaug start a few pages into chapter 7 ( Queer Lodgings) and carry us through to the beginning of chapter 14 ( Fire and Water). The second movie of The Hobbit carries on almost directly (a short prologue aside) from the first, with our heroes having descended from the Carrock and travelling on eastwards towards the Lonely Mountain.
