The book's Smaug yes, because originally he was no bigger than a small house. So that's why he was one of the smallest. The movie version is waaay bigger than what he actually was Edit: I realize small house is a relative measure depending which country/culture you come from, take a US house in this case. We don't really know the exact measures bc Tolkien never told 'em, we can only deduce based on his head size aproximately. And personally, a 30/40 meter long creature is still pretty big to me and definetely to Bilbo

I like that Smaug seems to have an element of loneliness to him. He actively engaged in a conversation with Bilbo, who was probably the first sentient being he'd spoken to in years, even if he ultimately intended to kill him in the end. It's like a cat playing with a mouse. Smaug was entertaining himself, which is why he didn't fry Bilbo then and there.

Smaug’s sheer scale was perfectly captured. When reading the books you know he’s big, but it’s another thing to see it so perfectly represented on screen. This scene makes you truly believe he is the most terrifying creature you could possibly fight against. His presence exudes a hopelessness that most normal people would feel in Bilbo’s position. How could any man hope to stand against Smaug the chiefest of calamities? This, for me, reaffirmed why dragons are so terrifying as a concept.

For those interested in the book version. This scene actually depicts Bilbo's second entrance into the chamber. Smaug was lying on top of the treasure (it turns out Smaug is a side-sleeper lol), not buried under it. Otherwise it would have been pitch black in there. The chamber was dimly lit by his red glow. Bilbo took a cup first and left, while Smaug was still sleeping. He woke up when Bilbo went back to Balin and Smaug noticed the cup missing. Then Smaug went nuts trying to find the thief, and it was then Smaug left the mountain to go have a look outside. He almost caught the dwarves who were still waiting outside. They felt the rumbling; that's accurate. That's when they all went in. They still had the ponies with them; so Smaug suspected men were around. Smaug ate the ponies (a dragon's gotta eat). After flying around all night Smaug went back to sleep in the treasure chamber. It's kind of funny the dwarves only then realized how this was a crazy idea. Smaug called Bilbo a thief when Bilbo came back. Smelled him instantly. That's when they have their talk, and much of the dialogue is more or less direct quotes, except that he thought the lake men were ultimately behind his visit, even though the ponies smelled like dwarves. Bilbo threatened revenge, which Smaug found funny. Smaug showed off his bejeweled belly and Bilbo noticed the missing scale. He let it slip he was the thief and ran out. Smaug, incensed, stuck his head in the tunnel and gave Bilbo a pretty nasty burn. This is not how Bilbo finds the Arkenstone. Smaug left to go smash the door to the tunnel and burn Laketown for helping him. Just before Bilbo convinced the dwarves to go into the tunnel. Bilbo goes into the treasure chamber a third time while Smaug is away, but now it's pitch black. That's how he finds the Arkenstone glowing in the dark. The dwarves follow and they all walk out. Smaug never actually sees them. Everything else after this scene is made up.

I believe they improvised the rest of the scene to incorporate the more dramatic shots; such as Bilbo realising in horror as he'd waken up Smaug.

@@Laesis Two sides, same coin. He'd enjoy the look of Smaug, and the feel of his presence. And yet, hate the finer points in the film (Legolas and the Dwarf/Elf romance plot), because they botched most of the story by adding/reworking/removing certain scenes and passages from the book to film. He'd still most likely enjoy where the movie went, as, I'm sure Sir Christopher Lee didn't hate any portion (or, what was used and given to make it more adaptable and believeable) of LoTR/The Hobbit films he was in with them, so long as they still were close to the original source material, and the fact that Sir Christopher Lee was old friends with Tolkien, so, he'd at least have the very idea of what needed to be put to film from book to make it believeable. So, in a way, yes. I do believe that Tolkien would have loved what the movie looked liked, if he were alive today, and adapted from his book. But also point out all the more reason to read his books first and foremost, as film can, and will, tend to go with the more "Modern" approach to things, and cause contradictions from the book that will confuse the reader and audience of both mediums. As far as I'd at least guess to what he'd say, overall, toward this type of thing.

If you’ve read the book, you’ll know that every word that comes out of Bilbo’s mouth is for a good reason-it’s explained that dragons love riddles (not unlike Gollum, but they aren’t as blatant about it), that’s why he calls himself “Luck-Wearer,” and “Barrel-Rider”-so Smaug will waste time trying to figure out what it means. He even goes to the extent to assume that Bilbo’s pony was named “Barrel.” Every single sentence that comes out of his mouth feels like the moving of a chess piece. Unfortunately, in the movie, Bilbo survives by sheer luck.

Yep, the book states that he was intimately familiar with every single item in the hoard. He's had 60 years alone with his treasure here, and 150 in the book. Bilbo stole a single cup while Smaug was asleep, he woke up, and he immediately knew it was gone. Detecting the Ring's presence makes less sense. But I guess if he can tell that Sauron is making a move when he's been holed up in the mountain, he might just have some sense for evil stuff.

@J R He also comments that Bilbo's pony, which he can smell on Bilbo, might have been barrel shaped, just as a way of toying with Bilbo. The movie really lacks the depth of character to Smaug's conversation with Bilbo (who is invisible the entire time in the book, playing cat-and-mouse with Smaug). Smaug is curious and amused by this intruder in his domain, since it's a novelty (his first visitor in 170 years, and who in their right mind would walk into a dragon's lair?), and while he does enjoy Bilbo stroking his ego and brag about himself, he's mostly just toying with Bilbo until he can locate and murder him. It's not until he gets enough information out of Bilbo to realize the townsfolk helped him and the dwarves and Bilbo basically says "neener neener neener, can't get me" that Smaug flips his shit, tries to vaporize Bilbo with a blast of fire breath hot enough to melt iron, and then leaves the mountain for the first time in decades to go wreck the town out of spite.

Rings affected them but not in a way Sauron expected. They became more secluded and mined like crazy for gold and gems. Little did they care for affairs outside their halls and mines. And Ring of Power is dangerous so posses. Smaug likes status quo. Ring is trouble cause Sauron is after it. So Smaug would be in danger if he takes it for himself.

I love how Smaug intriguingly reacts to the various titles that Bilbo claims out of his improvisation. It's like he's been buried for years and years under gold hibernating in his riches, but he's so happy to hear/encounter something different and unexpected even it's a thief. It's the victorious villain that won't admit that he's slightly alone in his victory so he's willing to keep a low level weak enemy around just long enough to entertain his boredom/loneliness. ....even is he's well aware that the dwarves are there trying to reclaim their kingdom. There's just this feeling that I get with his character here in that beginning segment of his encounter with Bilbo that he's actually kinda enjoying the company of Bilbo minus the Dwarves stuff.

When I first saw this scene it struck me that Smaug must secretly be excited to have a visitor after so many years of isolation and boredom. Even if it is a thief, but a curious invisible thief with manners and strange titles. He talks to him like he's just glad to talk to somebody about how he hates dwarves and knows they will come back one day. You can tell he wants to draw it out and is disappointed when he has to ultimately kill him instead of letting him go with the stone to have something to do.
@greyfoxninja12394 жыл бұрын
I think Smaug was lamentful more at not being able to watch the Arkenstone drive Thorin mad, because it would be impractical for him to watch that in the long-term from afar in the outside world without letting Thorin into the mountain, and would give Thorin the opportunity to rally the dwarves' armies against Smaug with the King's Jewel and likely pose a more serious and troublesome threat. While Smaug's probably glad to wake and have something new and interesting to toy with until his curiosity is sated, he does seem to enjoy it when he wraps up his and Bilbo's long exchanges with "How do you choose to DIE?" Like he's reaching the climax and ending of an enjoyable evening book or stage-play.
@ecthox-1mork9094 жыл бұрын
Not entirely right, the way Smaug acts, he made his decision on the spot when Bilbo mentions the Black Arrow. Smaug had to know what the arrow had done to him and the weakness it made, so when Bilbo practically shouts it at Smaug, Smaug reacted rather understandably and decided to wrap things up as Bilbo was a potential threat he could no longer ignore.
@zachrich73594 жыл бұрын
In the books, it was said that Smaug loved flattery and riddles. Bilbo therefore appealed highly to him as a curiosity (invisible, new creature) and a mystery (many enigmatic and clever titles). Smaug was intrigued, like a cat that has discovered a new toy. The thing that tipped the proverbial apple cart was when Bilbo snuck out using the Ring and took with him some spoils. Dragons know exactly how much treasure they have and will notice when anything is missing, so Smaug immediately went ballistic, though in the book it was after Bilbo had spoken to him and then snuck out.

No wonder he loved the ego stroke from Bilbo
The book's Smaug yes, because originally he was no bigger than a small house. So that's why he was one of the smallest. The movie version is waaay bigger than what he actually was Edit: I realize small house is a relative measure depending which country/culture you come from, take a US house in this case. We don't really know the exact measures bc Tolkien never told 'em, we can only deduce based on his head size aproximately. And personally, a 30/40 meter long creature is still pretty big to me and definetely to Bilbo

There's something incredibly more terrifying when a villain has proper manners and a polite manner of speaking. Yelling can be intimidating but having a sinister calmness and confidence is much more frightening.
Indeed. The fact that he spoke so calmly but was probably filled with rage is amazing.
The deep lush baritone voice on Smaug was the icing on the cake. The perfect blend of both fear and yet a regal and majestic beast of a dragon. Smaug was the best thing to come out of the Hobbit movies.
Polite villains are great, it's why I like Freiza
Of course : it gives a feeling of overwhelming superiority, the kind that give him the right to decide at any moment if you live or die.
There's something scarier about a villain that walks when they chase you. Because there's a reason they don't have to run.
i love how he encourages Bilbo to keep on naming more titles for himself and then addresses him by the most ridiculous and degrading one: "Barrel-Rider"
It’s also what clued Smaug in on targeting Laketown, as it’s the only area he knows of where the people regularly work with barrels
because you would need to speak to dragons in riddles, trying to not name yourself. otherwise he would find out, dragons love this type of talk(from the book)
Also at least in the book that was the only name that piqued Smaugs interest because he couldn't immediately figure out where that title came from (he guessed that Bilbo might have a pony named Barrel)
I like dragons
I think they are lovely
I like that Smaug seems to have an element of loneliness to him. He actively engaged in a conversation with Bilbo, who was probably the first sentient being he'd spoken to in years, even if he ultimately intended to kill him in the end. It's like a cat playing with a mouse. Smaug was entertaining himself, which is why he didn't fry Bilbo then and there.
It’s in Tolkien canon that dragons prefer to taunt and use riddles on their prey instead of killing right away, that is how Bard managed to kill him despite Smaug being able to attack on multiple occasions.

What I liked about Smaug is how he knew everything. He knew Bilbo was together with the dwarfes, Thorin and his company spesifically, that Bilbo was sent there to retreive the Arkenstone for Thorin, that Thorin never meant to share anything with Bilbo. Heck he even knew Bilbo had the one ring.
I don't think he knew it was the One Ring, as he probably wouldn't even entertain Bilbo (Dragons were made by Morgoth and after his death, most swore themzelves to Sauron), but I reckon he suspected it was one of the Rings of Power.
Smaug was trying to get into Bilbo’s head
That’s how cool a dragon is
Smaug’s sheer scale was perfectly captured. When reading the books you know he’s big, but it’s another thing to see it so perfectly represented on screen. This scene makes you truly believe he is the most terrifying creature you could possibly fight against. His presence exudes a hopelessness that most normal people would feel in Bilbo’s position. How could any man hope to stand against Smaug the chiefest of calamities? This, for me, reaffirmed why dragons are so terrifying as a concept.
the funniest thing about Smaug was that he was actually pretty tiny compared the to older dragons in Lord of the Rings.
Drogon could never

For those interested in the book version. This scene actually depicts Bilbo's second entrance into the chamber. Smaug was lying on top of the treasure (it turns out Smaug is a side-sleeper lol), not buried under it. Otherwise it would have been pitch black in there. The chamber was dimly lit by his red glow. Bilbo took a cup first and left, while Smaug was still sleeping. He woke up when Bilbo went back to Balin and Smaug noticed the cup missing. Then Smaug went nuts trying to find the thief, and it was then Smaug left the mountain to go have a look outside. He almost caught the dwarves who were still waiting outside. They felt the rumbling; that's accurate. That's when they all went in. They still had the ponies with them; so Smaug suspected men were around. Smaug ate the ponies (a dragon's gotta eat). After flying around all night Smaug went back to sleep in the treasure chamber. It's kind of funny the dwarves only then realized how this was a crazy idea. Smaug called Bilbo a thief when Bilbo came back. Smelled him instantly. That's when they have their talk, and much of the dialogue is more or less direct quotes, except that he thought the lake men were ultimately behind his visit, even though the ponies smelled like dwarves. Bilbo threatened revenge, which Smaug found funny. Smaug showed off his bejeweled belly and Bilbo noticed the missing scale. He let it slip he was the thief and ran out. Smaug, incensed, stuck his head in the tunnel and gave Bilbo a pretty nasty burn. This is not how Bilbo finds the Arkenstone. Smaug left to go smash the door to the tunnel and burn Laketown for helping him. Just before Bilbo convinced the dwarves to go into the tunnel. Bilbo goes into the treasure chamber a third time while Smaug is away, but now it's pitch black. That's how he finds the Arkenstone glowing in the dark. The dwarves follow and they all walk out. Smaug never actually sees them. Everything else after this scene is made up.
I believe they improvised the rest of the scene to incorporate the more dramatic shots; such as Bilbo realising in horror as he'd waken up Smaug. Imo, Cumberbatch was the perfect actor to voice Smaug. Absolutely bewitching, cinematics at one of its finest. I just finished the book and everything you said was spot on. Thank you for typing the full summary!
Can confirm this is true. Read the book myself.
@@Lokitellus favourite character?
I think when he looked over at the treasure at least he noticed the cup missing which was why he kept calling bilbo a thief though the barrel rider talk was also there as well it’s never shown if bilbo put the cup away or into his coat but I assume he left that sh!t not risking his life over a freaking cup and it was changed a bit just a bit in this scene but the rest of it yes.
@@uniqueking7941 Bilbo showed the cup to the company and the dwarves became extremely excited about it and the other treasure. The book doesn't say what he did with it - that I remember. I could re-read the chapter some day.

True. 🤭
Dragons do not get lonely. Smaug was just vain. He didnt kill him immediately only because in the book bilbo was invisible the entire time so smaug couldn't locate him.
@@iownyou4669 Well I like the way @Hunter Hooper thinks about Smaug. It might not be true, but I like the way they think of Smaug.

Well, more that in the words of another famous Cumberbatch role Smaug was: "Bored... BORED!"
I love this scene because Bilbo’s greatest strength has always been his raw cunning, and it’s always gotten him out of trouble. But when he meets Smaug, someone who is just as smart as he is, the tables are turned, and you can see him get more and more afraid. It makes you so tense.

If only Tolkien could see this scene, I think he'd cry tears of joy over how incredible Smaug is, to see his monstrous creation brought to life by CGI and Benedict's incredible voicework.
He'd likely also hate how they fucked up his book lol.
@@Laesis Two sides, same coin. He'd enjoy the look of Smaug, and the feel of his presence. And yet, hate the finer points in the film (Legolas and the Dwarf/Elf romance plot), because they botched most of the story by adding/reworking/removing certain scenes and passages from the book to film. He'd still most likely enjoy where the movie went, as, I'm sure Sir Christopher Lee didn't hate any portion (or, what was used and given to make it more adaptable and believeable) of LoTR/The Hobbit films he was in with them, so long as they still were close to the original source material, and the fact that Sir Christopher Lee was old friends with Tolkien, so, he'd at least have the very idea of what needed to be put to film from book to make it believeable. So, in a way, yes. I do believe that Tolkien would have loved what the movie looked liked, if he were alive today, and adapted from his book. But also point out all the more reason to read his books first and foremost, as film can, and will, tend to go with the more "Modern" approach to things, and cause contradictions from the book that will confuse the reader and audience of both mediums. As far as I'd at least guess to what he'd say, overall, toward this type of thing.
@@ShadowmanJaxson No offense, but not sure what you're talking about. Christopher Tolkien, J. R. R. Tolkien's son, hated the movies.
@@ShadowmanJaxson Lee and Tolkien weren’t old friends, I believe they met at a bar once
@@Laesis Not really sure why Christopher hated the movies so much to be honest. The Hobbit was pretty bad to be fair, but the Lord of the Rings movies, although not perfectly faithful by any means , are probably the best book to film fantasy adaptation that will ever happen, because there has not been a more faithful adaptation since.
Bilbo : "I merely wanted to gaze at your magnificence" Smaug: *rushes to show himself off. Love the fact that he actually hurried to show himself off 😅

One Ring to rule them all

@@darthvader2035 One ring to find them all.
Something far... more... preciousssssss....
@@Ultimusvivi Bad plan, very bad plan. The Ring gets more powerful and dangerous the more powerful the one bearing it is. And it also amplifies their power. That's why a hobbit, with no real power whatsoever, is the perfect one to carry it and destroy it. Of course, there's also the small fact that Bilbo has absolutely no clue how valuable that ring really is at this point.
The way he moves so gracefully, almost slithering like a snake, despite the fact that he treads on four giant limbs
Notice that Smaug is enjoying himself during the conversation, interrogating Bilbo for information and entertainment, but abruptly ends it when he overhears Bilbo muttering about his one weakness -- the place where the black arrow found its mark. Decided to end the encounter before Bilbo got any more dangerous ideas/information.

Ancalagon could probably use Smaug as a boomerang let’s be honest
@@randomprimarissalamander8735 No shit, Ancalgo was so gigantic the word itself barely has any meaning. I mean, Smaug isn't bad even compared to ancient dragons but comparing him to Ancalgon is like comparing Sauron to Morgoth. Of course, the gape of power isn't as big but that's the idea.
Honestly that Smaug saying “Precious...” and that flash of Sauron’s eye was much more effective at foreshadowing the Lord of the Rings than the rest of the trilogy did.
10:00 is another foreshadowing.
@@meneither3834 Yeah but i's not as good. Foreshadowing is done better when it's shown to you, not told.
@@classycthulhu8449 I would disagree. You can have excellent foreshadowing within a conversation. Depending on the scenario the viewer won't even notice it.
that was dope i love thos small details makes the movie.
Remember as a dragon Samug was made as a servant of Melkor, who's chief lieutenant was Sauron. Their has been a lot of discussion on Samugs connection to Sauron. Granted theirs no evidence to suggest that Sauron had any affiliation with dragons apart from a once shard master.
This dragon is voiced by the same person who played: A ruthless warlord in Star Trek An arrogant surgeon turned mystic arts master in Dr Strange A Sociopathic Holmes in Sherlock
I just noticed. When Smaug awakes, his eyes almost never leave Bilbo. When Bilbo puts on the ring as smaug rises, his eyes are practically glued to where Bilbo is. He almost looks Bilbo directly in the eye. Throughout their entire interaction, Smaug always knows exactly where Bilbo is, he just feigns ignorance so he can play with Bilbo for a bit before eating him
Smaug can smell his exact location even when bilbutt is invisible, its scary
If you’ve read the book, you’ll know that every word that comes out of Bilbo’s mouth is for a good reason-it’s explained that dragons love riddles (not unlike Gollum, but they aren’t as blatant about it), that’s why he calls himself “Luck-Wearer,” and “Barrel-Rider”-so Smaug will waste time trying to figure out what it means. He even goes to the extent to assume that Bilbo’s pony was named “Barrel.” Every single sentence that comes out of his mouth feels like the moving of a chess piece. Unfortunately, in the movie, Bilbo survives by sheer luck.
Thank you for explaining this!
Jana Heyerdahl Happy to help!!!
I agree Bilbo in the book was way more in control of the situation then he was in the film made it feel like Smaug was letting him live so it took the intensity out of the situation I was really disappointed by the movies depiction and it was what I was looking forward to the most.
@@austinlee9463 Yeah, at least his voice acting is good. Eloquent, cunning, vain, manipulative. The script is kinda shitty though, but that's the whole Hobbit trilogy.
@@Lilliathi Couldn't blame them, Peter was writing the script when it was happening- took such a toll on him they had to take a filming break because he couldn't keep up with demands. To put it into perspective the kind of rush they were in, in the first showing of Smaug in the dwarves flash back, even just the feet shown was a entirely different model because they didn't know what he would've remotely be designed as yet.
Smaug: I’m almost tempted to let you take it. Me: I don’t even want it no more.

“I ate his people, (STOMP) Like a WOLF Among ShEEP” -One of the Coldest line deliveries in cinematic history
When I first watched this movie, I had never read any of the books so when Smaug spoke I was shocked. I literally said out loud in the theatre "HE SPEAKS" I was also shocked how polite he was, he spoke with such intelligence. Given he has lived under a mountain for 60 years without speaking to a soul its kinda shocking. I wonder how old he is.
It's not very clear how old he is, but he could be several thousands of years old, possibly (although it is unlikely) being around during the War of Wrath
He's lived in Erebor for 150 years actually.
"My teeth are swords. My claws are spears. My wings are a *hurricane* ." Magnificent dialogue.
King Ghidorah laughs

It's magnificent bc they're the original words from the book xD
His tongue is silver 😳
Smaug wasn't scary JUST because he was big and powerful, he was also scary because he was able to take a 5 minute conversation with an invisible thief and figure out exactly what he was doing there and why.
But in the process, Bilbo found his weak spot. However in the movie, he keeps it a secret. Now, WHAT GOOD IS A WEAK SPOT IF YOU KEEP IT A SECRET, HUHHHH?

This whole sequence is one of my favorites. The humorous bits are one of the reasons why; 03:22 when Smaug starts to wake up and Bilbo just squats down as if he’s been there the whole time 😂
Bilbo: Smaug, I've come to bargain! Smaug: That's _my_ line!
Lol
The effects they put on Benedict Cumberbatch's voice were exceptional. The boosted bass, the extra gravel-- it all produced a convincing, terrifying voice for Smaug.
In pretty sure a lot of it was his actual voice, I remember reading somewhere that it actually damaged his throat
Actually, it's more natural than you might think. There's a few minor tweaks, like adding reverb to make it believeable that they're in a massive cavern, but Benedict was that bassey, and had a good growl to his voice. You can find footage of him doing this, crawling around like a madman in a motion capture suit, and the audio is very similar.

@@theburakshowreactions lmao
its beautiful work. That dialogue scene is amazing.
i just love how Smaug is completely aware of everything in this scene, the fact that bilbo is flattering to save his life, the fact that he has the ring, and the fact that the arkenstone was there and that bilbo was trying to get it the whole time.
Yep, the book states that he was intimately familiar with every single item in the hoard. He's had 60 years alone with his treasure here, and 150 in the book. Bilbo stole a single cup while Smaug was asleep, he woke up, and he immediately knew it was gone. Detecting the Ring's presence makes less sense. But I guess if he can tell that Sauron is making a move when he's been holed up in the mountain, he might just have some sense for evil stuff.
Matthew Marchbanks I think he can tell just by bilbos presence, he may be invisible but he is still a physical thing, if he can tell a single cup out of a thousand is gone it’s not a long stretch to say he can detect a person standing on his hoard
@@jackofastora8962 Well, maybe, but there's also just his scent
Yeah, Smaug's sense of smell is extremely strong. On the journey Bilbo probably wouldn't have gotten a chance to wash once, so the smell of the Dwarves and Bilbo himself would be covered a lot by dirt, so it's impressive that Smaug could smell the Dwarf scent besides Bilbo himself. Also the fact that using his sense of smell he could pinpoint exactly where Bilbo was, at one point looking directly at him.
Smaug was easily the best thing about the whole Hobbit franchise. Definitely the best dragon in fiction, ever.
"i did not believe them" love how high his voice got when Bilbo said that
i find it funny that of all the things Bilbo said, Barrels was the one that made Smaug interested. Not the ability to walk unseen, but barrels lol.
@J R oh
@J R He also comments that Bilbo's pony, which he can smell on Bilbo, might have been barrel shaped, just as a way of toying with Bilbo. The movie really lacks the depth of character to Smaug's conversation with Bilbo (who is invisible the entire time in the book, playing cat-and-mouse with Smaug). Smaug is curious and amused by this intruder in his domain, since it's a novelty (his first visitor in 170 years, and who in their right mind would walk into a dragon's lair?), and while he does enjoy Bilbo stroking his ego and brag about himself, he's mostly just toying with Bilbo until he can locate and murder him. It's not until he gets enough information out of Bilbo to realize the townsfolk helped him and the dwarves and Bilbo basically says "neener neener neener, can't get me" that Smaug flips his shit, tries to vaporize Bilbo with a blast of fire breath hot enough to melt iron, and then leaves the mountain for the first time in decades to go wreck the town out of spite. Smaug in the book is vain and exceedingly petty, but he is NOT stupid.
B A R R E L S S S . . .
I figure its because Smaug already got intel from the thrush that group of dwarves were coming to erebor riding barrels. So Bilbo also rode barrels meaning he came with them. Also Bilbo whispered "wheres the arkenstone" at the beginning. Smaug mustve heard it thus he knew why bilbo came despite him denying it in his face.
@@ZaberAnsaryOfficial The thrush didn't talk to Smaug and neither was intelligible to the other.

@Deimonk You need this don't you
Is this a movie if it is what is it called ?
Sherlock: How did you get away? I had your demise planned perfectly. John: Sheer luck on my throws, clearly.
"There is something about you... Something that you carry... Something made of Gold... But far more precious."
This scene right here beats the entirety of Rings of Power.
*_Have you ever wondered where Smaug got all of this knowledge about Oakenshield and the dwarf? He interrogated all the dwarfs who were still stuck in Erebor before devouring them, almost the same he intended to do with Bilbo here. There's something particularly savvy in it._*
I've always wanted to know how he knew that Thorin had taken the name "Oakenshield" since he didn't get that name until after Smaug had already taken Erebor. It makes sense if Smaug left the mountain on occasion and heard about the dwarven refugees, but not if he'd basically been sleeping for the last century or so. The book is a bit different but in the film it's just kind of confusing how he knew.
he did the same with the lake men who he killed, using Dragonspeak to force them to talk.
Nice name
Oh com'on, He is Sherlock Holmes after all.
That should have been very scary. I think they should make a film like Saw or something like that about it.
I always get chills when Smaug says “precioussssss” I really like that touch
i loved that too
imagine if he got his claws on the ring. It would eventually corrupt him as it does all things but for that little bit before would be nuts.
@@Blasted2Oblivion Dont think so. Dragons are already corrupt and they like treasure. He likes to sit on it and sleep. Something small as Ring of Power would not make Smaug any happier. This is why rings Sauron sent to Dwarfs were pretty much useless. Dwarfs already like riches and they were greedy for it even before they were gifted the rings. Rings affected them but not in a way Sauron expected. They became more secluded and mined like crazy for gold and gems. Little did they care for affairs outside their halls and mines. And Ring of Power is dangerous so posses. Smaug likes status quo. Ring is trouble cause Sauron is after it. So Smaug would be in danger if he takes it for himself. And a small dragon like Smaug is no match for Sauron really.

Oh you're right about Smaug. And it IS terrifying. He's only a little lizard with wings compared to Ancalagon The Black or Glaurung. Not only were they bigger than him, but also stronger and more evil than he's ever been.
If this is just Smaug's voice, imagine hearing Ancalagon the Black speaking. The depth of his voice would shake the entire earth
They should get Christopher Judge, the voice of Kratos in the newest God of War game, to voice Ancalagon
One of the few reasons why I want Silmarillion movies or series. Ancalagon is a fucking beast.

The CGI in these movies aren’t always the most convincing, but when it comes to Smaug it is exceptional.
I love how Smaug intriguingly reacts to the various titles that Bilbo claims out of his improvisation. It's like he's been buried for years and years under gold hibernating in his riches, but he's so happy to hear/encounter something different and unexpected even it's a thief. It's the victorious villain that won't admit that he's slightly alone in his victory so he's willing to keep a low level weak enemy around just long enough to entertain his boredom/loneliness. ....even is he's well aware that the dwarves are there trying to reclaim their kingdom. There's just this feeling that I get with his character here in that beginning segment of his encounter with Bilbo that he's actually kinda enjoying the company of Bilbo minus the Dwarves stuff.
In the book the title "Barrel Rider" catches his interest most of all because he catches on that he came through Laketown, and thus was one of the reasons he proceeded to attack it
Slinkerdeer he’s a smart dragon.
No dragon can resist the fascination of riddling talk and of wasting time trying to understand it.
This is literally the plot of Sherlock
Smaug is an brilliant character because this environment and what happened to him is what happens to some humans. The way the gold and isolation has disconnected him from reality and made him paranoid and crazy.
Smaug is surely the most well designed dragon i've seen in movies
Drogon: HOLD MY BEER
@@alexpacino1 nah for me Smaug looks better he looks much more majestic
@@alexpacino1 Smaug would hold Drogon's head.
Dragonite: HOLD MY BEER
@@alexpacino1 Rayquaza is better lmao
4:04 What I love most about this scene is that they didn't add any kind of special effects for Bilbo's disappearance as soon as he put on the ring. Just simply delete him out😂
I just wish they had finished Smaug's flex about himself. "My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!"
"What did he promise you? A share of the treasure? As if it was his to give." I've always loved that line, in both the book and the movies. Smaug nastily making Bilbo aware that the line in the contract he signed was nothing more than vain hope.
Its better in the book when Smaug points out how useless the treasure would be to Bilbo.
@@bulldogsbob I loved that in the books. When Smaug pointed out that Bilbo's reward doesn't even take into account all the expenses it would take to haul it down from the mountain.
@@nmjjmn663 lol was Smaug his accountant too?
@@assaulth3ro911 Sort of lol. Smaug basically pointed out that even if they managed to get the gold, it'd be useless to them in the middle of nowhere. And they (Bilbo especially) would need to pay for delivery, cartage, armed guards, and tolls, and with a fourteenth share of the gold. All of which Bilbo had never even considered before.
@@nmjjmn663 lol smaug was good with cash 😂
the fact that smaug is one of the smallest dragons of middle earth and seeing him this big makes me think of how big the other dragons are. im scared.
@Kaila Hodge-McNutt oh i know how big those things get
@Kaila Hodge-McNutt given how they're dragons, I think gidorah would be more accurate
“Were”
Ancalagon enters the chat Godzilla , ghidorah and smaug leave the chat
Why do people in this comment section keep saying this? Smaug was the greatest dragon of his age, not as big as some of the most ancient (and dead) ones but still the biggest in the world at the time
One thing I found fascinating in this scene is one object of evil is being used against another evil. Not completely effectively, but still fascinating nonetheless.
The sheer _malice_ in his voice, the unadulterated evil you can sense, radiating off him. This dragon is a monster. It is pure evil, and it enjoys every moment of suffering it inflicts upon the world
When I first saw this scene it struck me that Smaug must secretly be excited to have a visitor after so many years of isolation and boredom. Even if it is a thief, but a curious invisible thief with manners and strange titles. He talks to him like he's just glad to talk to somebody about how he hates dwarves and knows they will come back one day. You can tell he wants to draw it out and is disappointed when he has to ultimately kill him instead of letting him go with the stone to have something to do.
I think Smaug was lamentful more at not being able to watch the Arkenstone drive Thorin mad, because it would be impractical for him to watch that in the long-term from afar in the outside world without letting Thorin into the mountain, and would give Thorin the opportunity to rally the dwarves' armies against Smaug with the King's Jewel and likely pose a more serious and troublesome threat. While Smaug's probably glad to wake and have something new and interesting to toy with until his curiosity is sated, he does seem to enjoy it when he wraps up his and Bilbo's long exchanges with "How do you choose to DIE?" Like he's reaching the climax and ending of an enjoyable evening book or stage-play.
Not entirely right, the way Smaug acts, he made his decision on the spot when Bilbo mentions the Black Arrow. Smaug had to know what the arrow had done to him and the weakness it made, so when Bilbo practically shouts it at Smaug, Smaug reacted rather understandably and decided to wrap things up as Bilbo was a potential threat he could no longer ignore.
In the books, it was said that Smaug loved flattery and riddles. Bilbo therefore appealed highly to him as a curiosity (invisible, new creature) and a mystery (many enigmatic and clever titles). Smaug was intrigued, like a cat that has discovered a new toy. The thing that tipped the proverbial apple cart was when Bilbo snuck out using the Ring and took with him some spoils. Dragons know exactly how much treasure they have and will notice when anything is missing, so Smaug immediately went ballistic, though in the book it was after Bilbo had spoken to him and then snuck out.
Well, I think a Wyvern of his personality would prefer to be alone and unbothered by beings he consider to be beneath him.
Smaug is a 5 year old, a very ancient and well-spoken one but he's "emotionally" 5. 5 year olds love to play with new toys before they take them apart and put them in their mouths
