Kick-Ass 2

The first Kick-Ass was a hilarious interpretation of the superhero genre in wich an ordinary boy tries to become a  costumed crime-fighter. In this sequel, he is joined by more social  misfits desperate to become heroes and they from Justice Forever, the world's first super-team (with no real super-powers). If it is half as good as the original it's worth seeing

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

If that was not the case for you, here is the second episode in Peter Jackson's trilogy about young Bilbo Baggins... And this time, there's a dragon!
