So I went and saw it last night. It was a great movie except for one big issue. Smaug is a drake, meaning he has two wings for forelimbs intead of a pair of forelimbs and a pair of wings. I was dissapointed that the makers of the movie would not know the difference between a dragon and a drake.

The Hobbit: The Coagulation of Youag
The Hobbit: The Urination of Woggg
The Hobbit: The Exfoliation of Quagg
The Hobbit: The Exacerbation of Frougg
That is disappointing that they couldn't tell the difference. Should I go see it?
Yeah it's still worth seeing :)
yeah but you have to understand that the film makers are going
"okay, we need to sell this movie, and there is no history of any four legged flying things, so if we make it two winged and 2 legged, then it will be more realistic and believable for the masse"
and i agree he should of been four legged, but alas, I can't change these things. Cool none the less. I liked his face for real.
Well there is history. In the original movie, Smaug has four limbs and a set of wings.
I Haven't read the novel in a long while but i don't remember them ever Identifing the difference between the two. With my very non extensive knowledge of the LOTR lore i think i remember the word dragon being used as more of a blanket term for all large serpent like creatures.
Although if im totally wrong on this one i still believe for cinematic reasons the simplifying of his body was a good choice to add more limbs would made his design look to busy and wouldn't have given off that slender serpently haunting feel nearly aswell.

Hold it, Hold it!
The hell? they are robbing us from two of his legs? unbelievable.
