The Angry Nerd has read your comments about his loathing of Kick-Ass 2 and the trend of real-life people who become cosplay vigilantes. You have failed to convince him to change his position on the subject.

For years, it’s been a fantasy cinema rule that real actors and CG dragons just don’t mix—ever. With the new release of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, will Peter Jackson be able to avoid the pitfalls of the disastrous dragons featured in flicks like Dragonheart, Reign of Fire, and Eragon?
