Can we just stop and appreciate that the level of CGI artwork they put into Smaug just when he gazes on the statue he’s in a trance by the beauty you can see the same level of amazement as Thorin has looking at gold then his surprise and panic at it falling apart like no no what is happening. He isn’t even worried about it hitting him he’s more worried about his new favorite treasure going away. The CGI, acting, scenes this will always be a reminder that no movie will ever hold a candle to the LOTRs or The Hobbit
How you can say this is good CGI is beyond me. Smaug looks awesome, but the melting gold is absolutely shit. Like really really bad. They ran out of time and money and that's why the gold looks that bad. It's honestly embarrassing..
They would have needed giant billow fans to cool off the metal and encase and suffocate Smaug, all in a short amount of time. Despite that factor, that would have worked, imo.

I appreciate what Peter Jackson did with the time he was given. Add his health problems into the mix and you learn to cut him some slack. These weren't horrible movies, I loved them.
These movies imo. have one defining flaw: someone thought there should be three of them and by the third one ( maybe even the second one ), the ideas had run out and planning wasn’t catching up anymore. I am sure there are excellent fan edits out there that essentially cleaned them up.
What made me extremely confused is how they at a point in previous movies even said that he could withstand the burning conditions of the dwarven forge yet they somehow think that a massive melting golden gummy-dwarf would do anything to Smaug.
Yeah, the plan was quite half-baked, but I guess that can be partly attributed to the fact they made it up on the spot out of desperation, because they had no real plan to get rid of Smaug without Gandalf in the event that Smaug was still alive and woke up. What's scary with that in mind is how overconfident Thorin is in the whole thing - probably a sign of just how far along his dragon-sickness is. :O
The backstory with Thorin's people was the dwarves were THE most skilled blacksmiths in all of middle earth, it got to a point where kings all over hired them richly sums to teach them the ways. Even the lowliest skilled dwarf was superb, hundreds of years passed they amassed their fortune and they pooled it all together under the lonely mountain.
Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug was the best thing about this trilogy. Along with, of course, the casting of the White Council (which was unchanged from TLOR).
Apparently the reason why The Hobbit movies sucked is is that they changed the director only a few months before production and called in Jackson, then pressed him to start filming before the alot of the prep was even done. Jackson slept aprox 2-4 hours per day trying to get the movies released according to the studios stimeschedule... LotR movies has pre-production of years... The hobbit didn't.
the reason the movies sucked is because people were expecting another LOTR. but the Hobbit is a children's book. a testwork if you will for one of the most well-crafted fantasy stories ever. the source material is just way too weak to ever compete with the LOTR. people just had the wrong expectations in the first place. now the films have many other flaws undeniably. for the reason you have stated. but even with 10 years of preproduction we would've not gotten anything close to LOTR.
Roman R to be fair the original comment is right. Warner bros. screwed over Peter Jackson and made him do the movie with no script, no story board, hardly anything to work with. He literally had to wing it for the most part to create a small book and force it into a trilogy. For a trilogy that depended on improvising, I'd say it's not bad. It's definitely no LOTR and I feel bad for Jackson because you can see in many behind the scenes videos his heart wasn't totally into the movie because of shitty warner bros.
@@amitkenan3878 , he wasn't the smallest of his race, but was small in comparison to the dragons of the first age, the dragons that we know, who are very few and probably the ones with more renown and the ones best known by the people inside the world of Ardar itself, Smaug was quite possibly the strongest and probably the biggest dragon of recent times, or at least would have a similar size to others
@@doloresgronenberg5882he was the smallest of the great Firedragons created by Morgoth. Which are a different race than the Dragons after Smaug. So yes. He was the smallest of his Race
Mixed though these movies are, this is up there amongst the best movie cliffhangers of all time, particularly as it pertains to second acts within a trilogy. You could hear a pin drop in the theatre when it cut to black after Bilbo’s “What have we done…”
Smaug has to be super strong for him to be able to run out and fly off covered in gold. granted it was molten gold but i would imagine that all that gold would weigh a lot and for him to jump out of what would essential be a giant gold hot tub speaks volumes to his physical strength.
My biggest complaint with this scene is that the room was huge and the melted statue would maybe be only ankle deep for a dragon that big. He never should've been knocked over let alone submerged.
Gold heavy in liguid for to, the statue ws taller and thicker bigger around then smaug, it was a gold shell filed w hot liqqyid gold, yeah it was a ALOT of gold
No but standing taller than Smaug, and being bigger than him overall, it would at least cause a wave that would knock him over. He wouldnt be submerged, but he would be falling in molten metal.
This scene always bugged me. Aside from the ridiculousness of melting that much gold that fast and the unrealistic manner of the statue failing, molten gold is red hot! It’s not like mercury. It’s has to be glowing to melt. Besides, Smaug is a dragon. He’s impervious to fire. He has dragon fire in his body! Molten metal would be a mere nuisance, and the dwarves would have known that. If they want to piss him off, they just need to take one tiny piece from his hoard. He’s that greedy.
Yeah its almost like the director made a whole bunch of scenes that were designed to be visually appealing to audiences while not really changing any plot from the book.
When he says "Revenge!?" the first time, I thought he said "It burns!" But all garbled up because of the liquid gold cascading down on him. I know he's a fire drake and is probably immune to being burned by molten gold, but that still has to sting a little especially with that hole in his chest left by the black arrows.
I know it would've been unrealistic, but I wish they would've kept the gold covered on around him. You know how savage that would've look of him flying towards the town covered in gold with a wide shot angle.
1:53 The depth of the depression, flooded with gold, is at most a couple of meters, which did not in the least prevent the giant dragon from hiding in it headlong, as if it were a pool as deep as a high-rise building.
It made no sense whatsoever in this scene that Smaug, now knowing the Dwarves are back under the mountain, would fly out over Dale instead of hunting down the dwarves and burning them out. They didn't hurt him at all with the molten gold.
Have to admit it was a pretty stupid plan, trying to kill a FIRE breathing dragon with melted gold. COME ON! did they seriously think it would kill him let alone hurt him.
in the dragon myth, the dragons are not necessarily immune to fire just because they breath it. the fire is formed after a chemical reaction with air when the dragon exhales a certain gas. this fire is formed outside dragons body(mouth) and it doesnt touch it. in this case the smaug should be dead due to burn or stuck beneath the rapidly cooling metal(gold)
In Dragon Mythology, dragons used magic to breathe fire, and magic to be immune to fire. In Dragon SCIENCE, they use a chemical reaction to breathe fire, but are not immune to fire.
I don't like the Hobbit movies at all, but Smaug is one of the best things already done for the Middle Earth universe in live action. You can just feel how imponent he is.
Yeah, right: why is this dwarf standing on this Stone-thingy. Doesn't look like a trap at all. I should wait. Hang on, why is he screaming some kind of signal? I mean, he hates me and said, that he wants revenge. Should I spit some fire on him? Nah, lets wait again. Hm? why do they show me this golden figure. Cant be a trap. They surely are kind, these dwarven-guys. Should I be carefully? No way, this gold is so shiny-cuty-blinky-blinky. I think, I wait again. Waitwaitwait Man, the golden figure melts. What are these long things at my arms. Should I use them? No, walking backwards as slow as possible should be the best plan to me. Man! I am full of hot gold. That makes me so angry. I#d better fly away and leave these dwarfs alone, who mortified me. I AM SMAUG THE SMART AND EGOCENTRIC DRAGON
O U T R A G E D by looking glorious? For what a lovable, evil bastard he is his animation is impeccable, probably the best in the film. Especially when he walks and his little foot moves EXACTLY how you would expect it to
Let me just mention how physically impossible this scene is ... Just for one all that gold would weigh so much it put an hole in the floor, also the heat from all that melted gold would have fried the dwarfs for being so close to it also it would burn a lot of the o2 and anyone not fried would suffocate ...
I remember watching the desolation of smaug before the battle of the 5 armies released. I must say, those words said before Smaug is about to attack Laketown were quite ominous.
I do not recall anything so absurd in the book, and I read it many times. What a train-wreck those three movies were. I hope there will be a director who turns this into a movie that is faithful to the book and without CGI'ing it to death.
A timeless tale of the battle between the forces of Order and Chaos. The embodiment of Chaos, Smaug, is despair and horror to rival the peaceful and safely Order of the Shire.
Order and Chaos can be those things; but Order can also be oppression, stagnation, hopelessness and lifelessness, whereas Chaos can also be freedom, choice, chance, opportunity and evolution.
Well, this scene is the embodiment of the "we had no plan at all, like... ZERO idea of what to do once we get there." Don't get me wrong, I love Peter Jackson, and I enjoyed this trilogy as well (mostly the first one), but there are just too many flaws in it and this scene is one of them. I mean... The plan was to take a hobbit because Smaug doesn't know their smell : it was utterly useless, and during the long and also useless pursuit sequence, Smaug passes right above some of them without noticing. The dwarves basicaly don't do a single thing to hurt or kill him efficiently. The whole plan was to get back to Erebor and get rid of Smaug. In the book Smaug went to Laketown immediatly after Bilbo disapeared. I mean : get rid of the useless love triangle cliché, the so-called "politic" message, the entire character of Azog... Really, two movies and a story closer to the book would have been enough, even if we included the necromancer plot.
There was probably a small fortune to be had from the gold droplets falling off of Smaug when he burst out of Erebor. I hope some peasant gathered it all up before the battle and lived like a king afterwards XD
Imagine chilling at the side of that mountain, then all of a sudden a massive downpour of gold starts raining down upon you And you be like : is this a dream? Or am I hallucinating Hahaha
I think it would of been better if Smaug became a good guy. Perhaps a protector of Lake Town and the mountain. Could of shown a clip in the final film where Biblo writes a piece of story he's heard where Smaug had destroyed a orc army protecting Lake Town.
@kindness ARK Well I'm sorry to say this but as cool as it would be to see Smaug defeat an Orc Army it shouldn't happen. It wouldn't be Smaug anymore. Also it wouldn't make any sense at all. He killed many people during his takeover and stole gold only then to turn the other cheek last minute? It would be like Voldemort saying "HAHA JK HARRY POTTER I'M GOOD NOW LOL." See how it would be pointless? It would just take away our version of the awesome yet despicably evil dragon we all know and love.
VianDrow he hates everyone, but so long as you stay clear from his stolen goods or so not have too much gold yourself, you'll be fine (for the most part)

What were they even trying to do to him?
Smaug wasn't distressed about the gold melting onto him and possibly burning him (he's a fire drake, he's completely immune to all forms of heat). He was distressed that something so majestic and shiny would melt infront of his eyes. It'd be like if someone who loves cake seeing their enemy make them the most amazing, huge, delicious looking cake of your life, only to have the entire thing crumble into puddling right infront of you.

@@xeric1953 he was actually yelling "Revenge!". I heard it as "it burns" too the first time

1:53 The depth of the depression, flooded with gold, is at most a couple of meters, which did not in the least prevent the giant dragon from hiding in it headlong, as if it were a pool as deep as a high-rise building.
When the splatter effects in a lord of the rings movie look about as good as the ones in food fight.
Beowulf54Mc thankfully it didn't in this movie.
Don't you dare compare Lord of the Rings to Foodfight! In all seriousness though the liquid gold does look really fake.
I honestly didn't know what Thorin wanted to do here 😅
Does drowning in molten metal sound fun to you? Well, that is what Thorin was trying to do.
But Smaug's fire is hot enough to melt gold, so it would never have worked.
DROWN! The plan was to DROWN Smaug in the gold, not burn him.
You can't even drown a human with that volume of liquid, how do you plan to drown a dragon?
He just needed to breathe in once and his lungs would have been filled with molten metal. That would have been deadly even for Smaug. Its that simple.
It made no sense whatsoever in this scene that Smaug, now knowing the Dwarves are back under the mountain, would fly out over Dale instead of hunting down the dwarves and burning them out. They didn't hurt him at all with the molten gold.
This scene is so ridiculous. But after all, the whole cinematic sage of The Hobbit is.
Have to admit it was a pretty stupid plan, trying to kill a FIRE breathing dragon with melted gold. COME ON! did they seriously think it would kill him let alone hurt him.
Dathan Williamson well it worked with Viseris Targaryen...
Dathan Williamson well it might burn him or suffocate him.
in the dragon myth, the dragons are not necessarily immune to fire just because they breath it. the fire is formed after a chemical reaction with air when the dragon exhales a certain gas. this fire is formed outside dragons body(mouth) and it doesnt touch it.
in this case the smaug should be dead due to burn or stuck beneath the rapidly cooling metal(gold)
In Dragon Mythology, dragons used magic to breathe fire, and magic to be immune to fire. In Dragon SCIENCE, they use a chemical reaction to breathe fire, but are not immune to fire.
correct :D
I personally think Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman were the best parts about this film. Smaug in general was great. :D
01:58 smaug's line is amazing!
1:24 that was an explosive Christmas present! The dwarves sure pulled off their TNT!
2:50 and 2:58 gave me Goosebumps
I love how offended he gets when the dwarves call him a slug 😂
0:29 This is not your kingdom, this is dwarf's gold.
I don't like the Hobbit movies at all, but Smaug is one of the best things already done for the Middle Earth universe in live action. You can just feel how imponent he is.
Little me was so in love with how Smaug arised from the gold, covered in it. I thought it was the coolest and prettiest damn thing
One of the most EPIC scenes in the Lord of the Rings franchise. I have got goosebumps! :D
2:42 Bilbo walked five hundred meters from the pool of gold to the edge of the cliff in half a minute.
Adrenaline can really get you moving.
That ending! Sound design is fantastic!
And so began the longest commercial break in history.
Remember watching this in theaters. Everyone seemed to like the movie based on how pissed they were with that cliffhanger.
Yeah, right: why is this dwarf standing on this Stone-thingy. Doesn't look like a trap at all. I should wait.
Hang on, why is he screaming some kind of signal? I mean, he hates me and said, that he wants revenge. Should I spit some fire on him?
Nah, lets wait again.
Hm? why do they show me this golden figure. Cant be a trap. They surely are kind, these dwarven-guys. Should I be carefully? No way, this gold is so shiny-cuty-blinky-blinky. I think, I wait again.
Waitwaitwait
Man, the golden figure melts. What are these long things at my arms. Should I use them? No, walking backwards as slow as possible should be the best plan to me.
Man! I am full of hot gold. That makes me so angry. I#d better fly away and leave these dwarfs alone, who mortified me.
I AM SMAUG THE SMART AND EGOCENTRIC DRAGON

lol this is funny
Smaug: "I am fire. I am death."
Godzilla: "Aww! He thinks he's fire dragon."
O U T R A G E D by looking glorious? For what a lovable, evil bastard he is his animation is impeccable, probably the best in the film. Especially when he walks and his little foot moves EXACTLY how you would expect it to
yes!
The cliffhanger for the LEGO video game.
Let me just mention how physically impossible this scene is ... Just for one all that gold would weigh so much it put an hole in the floor, also the heat from all that melted gold would have fried the dwarfs for being so close to it also it would burn a lot of the o2 and anyone not fried would suffocate ...
1:01 paralyzed by dragonish vanity--"d-did you make this for ME?!"
2:03 hobbit thought: "YOU ONLY MADE HIM HEAVIER!!! WHY?!"
I remember watching the desolation of smaug before the battle of the 5 armies released. I must say, those words said before Smaug is about to attack Laketown were quite ominous.
Benedict being cast and the look of Smaug were amongst the few great things in this trilogy.
When you take a warm shower, but forget that you’re sunburned 1:59
Hes already bad ass looking but damn covered in Gold he looks super freaking cool 💯 bling bling
I am fire
I am.... death
Omfg this gives me chills.. it sounds so creepy and mighty.., I love it.
I do not recall anything so absurd in the book, and I read it many times. What a train-wreck those three movies were. I hope there will be a director who turns this into a movie that is faithful to the book and without CGI'ing it to death.
A timeless tale of the battle between the forces of Order and Chaos. The embodiment of Chaos, Smaug, is despair and horror to rival the peaceful and safely Order of the Shire.
Order and Chaos can be those things; but Order can also be oppression, stagnation, hopelessness and lifelessness, whereas Chaos can also be freedom, choice, chance, opportunity and evolution.
Seeing this in the theater was worth it just to hear Smaug's growly voice reverberating in my chest and bones
Man, I hate what they did to this story. Peter Jackson took the works of Tolkien and wiped his butt with them.
(Thorin Yelling out loud in Dwarfish)(0:40)
I remember the WHOLE theater groaning when this movie ended.
I was half expecting that golden statue to start moving and wrestle Smaug.
Have to admit, Smaug, has taste.
That's pretty hot... even for a dragon
I expected a reddish glow from the statue and pool of molten gold. It wouldn't be yellow definitely.
In a way, it’s like the Old High King has one last chance to spit in the face of the Vile Worm.
The fact they didn’t include Smaug’s death to the end of this film is utter heresy.
Well, this scene is the embodiment of the "we had no plan at all, like... ZERO idea of what to do once we get there."
Don't get me wrong, I love Peter Jackson, and I enjoyed this trilogy as well (mostly the first one), but there are just too many flaws in it and this scene is one of them.
I mean... The plan was to take a hobbit because Smaug doesn't know their smell : it was utterly useless, and during the long and also useless pursuit sequence, Smaug passes right above some of them without noticing. The dwarves basicaly don't do a single thing to hurt or kill him efficiently. The whole plan was to get back to Erebor and get rid of Smaug. In the book Smaug went to Laketown immediatly after Bilbo disapeared. I mean : get rid of the useless love triangle cliché, the so-called "politic" message, the entire character of Azog... Really, two movies and a story closer to the book would have been enough, even if we included the necromancer plot.
“What have the screenwriters done?” is the more appropriate question
If only I had one bucket load of that gold. Wouldn't need to work for the rest of my life!
There was probably a small fortune to be had from the gold droplets falling off of Smaug when he burst out of Erebor. I hope some peasant gathered it all up before the battle and lived like a king afterwards XD
Imagine chilling at the side of that mountain, then all of a sudden a massive downpour of gold starts raining down upon you
And you be like : is this a dream?
Or am I hallucinating
Hahaha
Man smaug's look when he sees the statue made feel feel sad for him
where are the eagles when you need them ?
Playing poker
The gold would have made statues out of the eagles killing them.
What’s most impressive is the way they melted that gold in all of 90 seconds
if Smaug hate orcs, the war Will ended under 1 minutes
So true.
I think it would of been better if Smaug became a good guy. Perhaps a protector of Lake Town and the mountain. Could of shown a clip in the final film where Biblo writes a piece of story he's heard where Smaug had destroyed a orc army protecting Lake Town.
You no a speak any a English no?
@kindness ARK Well I'm sorry to say this but as cool as it would be to see Smaug defeat an Orc Army it shouldn't happen. It wouldn't be Smaug anymore. Also it wouldn't make any sense at all. He killed many people during his takeover and stole gold only then to turn the other cheek last minute? It would be like Voldemort saying "HAHA JK HARRY POTTER I'M GOOD NOW LOL." See how it would be pointless? It would just take away our version of the awesome yet despicably evil dragon we all know and love.
VianDrow he hates everyone, but so long as you stay clear from his stolen goods or so not have too much gold yourself, you'll be fine (for the most part)
