Smaug looks perfect

In my opinion nothing can ruin it anymore: Smaug looks perfect. They did amazing work! I especially like the design of the mouth. It's designed for speaking and it still looks very cool. I also like the 'spikes' on his neck. For me it is perfect. What do you guys think about it and would the amount of legs change your mind?

He looks great.
Glad they didn't overthink him like they seemingly did Beorn, some of the dwarves etc.

As perfect as he can be with regard to speaking

I really do think that so much of Smaug's design had to be based around his ability to speak. Getting the technicalities of his face to look "right" as his mouth moves must have been extremely difficult on the part of the designer and animators. I imagine that too many "innovative" design elements would look cool in still images but would ultimately ruin things when the dragon starts to talk. It could very easily look silly.

He definitely looks more vicious than I imagined. But I still like it very much, he reeks of death!

IF that's the Smaug we'll see in the movie and I think it may be...

..then I love him! He looks really frightening and intimidating yet intelligent which makes him all the more scary! And he's so huge and long! I love how his tail sort of curls around in loop near the back of the plane! I can also totally picture him talking!
