" The Film: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug The Release Date: December 13, 2013 The Hype: &amp;quot;Complete with dragons, enormous spiders, and epic fight scenes&amp;quot;; &amp;quot;If it doesn&amp;#039;t give you chills, you aren&amp;#039;t human&amp;quot;; &amp;quot;Bilbo has, for want of a better word, swagger and a boldness to him.&amp;quot; The Setup: Much like the second installment of other famous trilogies, this one carries an ominous tone thanks to lines like &amp;quot;All shall fail in sadness and the lake will shine and burn&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;The world is in grave danger&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;I fear for you.&amp;quot; Also, just monsters and fire everywhere.

What You Should Expect to See: One Ring to rule them all. Fans nudging and winking when they first see said Ring. Benedict Cumberbatch, but only kind of. A dragon with all the money in the world and arguably no way to spend it. Princess Zelda? What You Should Not: Singing Hobbits. People popping in to check out Smaug despite having missed the other four films. A Jon Snow cameo.  Likelihood You&amp;#039;ll Actually See It: An Unexpected Journey made more than a billion dollars and was still considered a disappointment, so someone is seeing these things. But considering Cumberbatch&amp;#039;s recent box office failures, maybe not?
