The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is a 2013 epic fantasy adventur film directed by Peter Jackson.Following the story of Bilbo Baggins as he accompanies Thorin Oakenshield and his fellow Dwarves on a quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug.
As a 2013 film you'd expect the DVD menu to be of a much higher standard than the other two. In many ways it is however it also lacks a lot compared to the others. This is largely because like when the other came out there is a new technology out (blu-ray) that they are trying to push so the content of the dDVD's is very minimal. The main menu is very simple. A simple menu with four choices, play movie, scene selection, languages and special features. It also have a video on repeat showing big action sequences to get you excited. However there is no sound included on this so it is just repeating clips nothing to get your excited. The scene selection and languages are simple and as expected however the special feature though small has a lot of interesting stuff on it. When you click on special features a still image of Gandalf is in the background and vertical menu is in the middle with a few options. The first options is by far the most interesting. Like the first Hobbit film the is a small documentary following the shooting of the film. This mini little BTS is a really interesting film which adds to the DVD greatly and is the only real thing of substance on the DVD. The rest of the special features is pretty simple just with two trailers.
The DVD is very simple with little to do like a large number of modern DVD's. If I was to view the Blu-ray I am sure a lot more content would be there. As someone who is yet to switch to blu-ray the content of this DVD is very standard for a format they are slowly trying to replace. In my opinion is it a simple cleanly done DVD that does what it needs to do with out being particularly exciting.
