My Top 10 Favorite Movie Dragons
#1 - Smaug (from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug) He is fire. He is death. While I am not a huge fan of The Hobbit movie series (I think the movies are extremely slow-paced), I was in awe when I first saw Smaug on-screen. Benedict Cumberbatch did an exceptional job with the motion capture facial expressions and movements, and his voice acting for the wicked wyvern is chilling. Smaug is brought to life in a terrifying way that leaves a lasting impression.
