A Great Continuation of the Story

Overall, I found The Hobbit: DoS to be much better than the first film. The pacing was great and moved pretty briskly (minus a few points in the second act).
The final act was outstanding; beginning with Bilbo's conversation with Smaug and building to the showdown with the Dwarves; just an engrossing sequence of events leading to the end – it definitely made me excited for the final chapter.

What's great about it: Action sequences, overall pacing and storytelling
What's not so great: CGI is a little rough in some places
I would recommend this to a friend!

The wait is over, America - Ron Burgundy is back! After losing his job to his wife and co-anchor, Ron reassembles the news team and squares off against a new rival. Will the world's greatest anchorman be crushed beneath the weight of his own ego (and his salon-quality hair)?

Appropriate Follow-Up

Attempts at sequel for off-the-wall comedies are normally a recipe for trouble, and while Anchorman 2 isn't outright horrible, it doesn't quite capture the magic of the first film.
The characters are as wonderfully zany as they were in the first installment, but the story is meandering and has far too many beats (which seem to be forced for the sake of jokes). There's also a bit of one-ups-manship happening, it's great to see some of the old gags revisited, but they often fall flat... or end up too over-the-top.
I could barely tolerate the 'Super Sized' version, as it runs over 2 1/2 hours and the quality of 'new' material isn't worth the extra runtime.

What's great about it: The return of some hilarious characters
What's not so great: Meandering story, 'Super Size' version a disappointment
I would recommend this to a friend!
