I saw The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug this afternoon (I couldn't wait to see it), it's so good. The animation is superb, the action is fantastic, the humour works and Evangeline Lilly's Tauriel, well.. It's reached the stage where I couldn't tell if an orc was CGI or make-up, it was pretty much faultless, almost 3 hours long and it kept my attention all the way through.
