The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
This is fantasy, I know, but some of the scenes in this series stretch belief too far. The Thunder Giants from episode one for example. That everyone survives the odds when the band are attacked by thousands of orcs and other assorted creatures, only in the movies you say?
The trek plods on finally arriving at the misty mountain after encountering the spiders of Mirkwood and running into the woodland elves including Legolas. Throw in a dwarf/elf romance and a picture of Gimli as a boy with his mother--no beard. The ‘visit’ with Smaug drags on and on and on. Coating him with liquid goal seems (?)
And suddenly we come to an abrupt end.
