Smaug > any Dragon ever
although my wife comes a close second.
Dragonslayer is still my favorite... and really set the tone for future dragons.
I like Smaug in the film, but honestly he's not particularly memorable looking to me... could be that I just don't have a clear sense of him from one viewing, but he's not particularly remarkable or unique
But his mouth movements for speech were very well done, not an easy task for a snouted creature.
I actually kind of prefer weird feline look of the Rankin Bass Smaug

I love the Rankin Bass Smaug as well and probably the primary reason I just can't let go of pronouncing him "smog" instead of "smowg."

Yeah, I'm the same way... I feel odd pronouncing it the "proper" way

It WAS a terrible movie, but D-war had some nicely designed dragons.

Jumping in this thread since I finally saw this yesterday, so I haven't read anything yet.
Smaug looked fantastic. I initially wasn't impressed with him when I saw the design of his head, but in all his magnifence, he looked awesome. I like the serpentine way that PJ decided he should move.
The dragons in Reign of Fire were great as well, and that film's creators should be commended on the fact that tried to base their dragons' movements realistically. But I loved how Smaug moved with an almost supernatural grace.
As for the numerous changes from the book...while it wasn't a delabreaker for me, I was still puzzled. I guess the changes had to be made to involve Tauriel and Legolas.
Still, great film. Enjoyed it more than An Unexpected Journey, which I enjoyed trmendously as well.

Smaug is more how I remember a dragon to look back in my youth, playing Dungeons & Dragons. Although there are many types, I like the 'Smaug' look.

Anyone got the art book for this yet? Can't wait to see dragon designs...

He's not actually in it very much, on Shadow and Flame Daniel Falconer said that they are realeasing a Chronicle companion next april which will be all about designing Smaug.

He's more what I've seen to be honest at least head and mostly body wise. I wouldn't have minded if he had four legs instead of two but that one little bit isn't an issue for me in thinking he's the best one I've seen to date.
As was said he's got little bit in there but the book as a whole is fantastic with all the designs in it.
