Re: The Sound of "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug"

I'll give these a watch, always impressed with the sound design in Peter Jacksons films… I am a little underwhelmed by the mixing however, it seams the trend is to drop more and more sounds out of the mix until one point (at the end) there was just dialogue and music with no sound effects despite a ...
