"Smaug On An Ego Trip A terrible bastard at the best of times, city usurping devil dragon Smaug dominates the second instalment with his a reptilian uber-brain. If An Unexpected Journey flashed us a little scaly thigh, Part 2 gives us the whole dragon, as Smaug comes face-to-face with his Hobbit nemesis. “Smaug doesn’t engage with [Bilbo] the same way Sméagol does,” explains the man who voices him, Benedict Cumberbatch. “He’s on much more of an ego trip. He likes to feel dominant at all times, and often because of what he’s capable of, he is.” Will the dragon’s arrogance and vanity be his Achilles’ scale? Watch this space."
So let me get this straight: Benedict is playing an arrogant, hyper-intelligent git who talks down to Martin Freeman? However did they think of this casting? Does Smaug have a brother who is the behind-the-scenes government of Middle Earth?
