Considering how much I hated Desolation of Smaug yesterday it was perhaps strange that I sat down to watch another two and half hour film about a band of travellers making their way cross country whilst being chased by an army. The Hidden Fortress does everything the right way: all the characters are great, the almost-slapstick parts and bickering are funny, it looks fantastic and there's a sense of epicness without having to resort CGI and sweeping aerial shots.
