Yeah I havent gotten to go see it yet put it in spoilers please! Thought I read the books as a kid!

[LightningPoodle]

Seriously? Elrond blew it! He had the chance at the outset to end it all before we had to go through either the Hobbit or LOTR, and instead of just

Spoiler

pushing Isildor into the volcano, he chickened out and let him keep the ring. Due could have just chucked both Isildor and the ring into the fiery pit,

but NO!

 

Personally, I think that's why he always looks so sour. He messed up and knows it.

 

Please.

Watching Unexpected Journey now. Thorin is totally sporting Cullens fur pauldron outfit! Never noticed!! It's a good look...

[Ryriena]

So is it best to wacth it in 3d?

[Lilaeth]

I'm Scottish, and I prefer the Elves, any day!

[LightningPoodle]

oooh Scottish you say! Is Jaime Fraser among their ranks....I may be persuaded if so.

 

In defense of the Elves

Spoiler

Why go wasting lives for no reason? Plus they needed to see the whole playing field. No harm in delayed responses here. Also Thorin had already gone bat **** cray-cray over his gold, so more pause for hesitation

 

Spoiler

An army of orcs was charging at them and they did nothing! It wasn't until Gandalf said something that Thranduil saw what needed to have been done.

 

Though the Elves were pretty cool, but Dwarves... are on a whole other level.

I am referencing the original trilogy of films here, not the Hobbit ones which I've seen none of and have no intention of seeing any of them.

 

Unless the bit I'm referring to only appears in the extended cuts ...

he didn't want to mindlessly lose men to a war he wanted no part in? Just saying he was hesitant for understandable reasons. I'm totally playing devil's advocate though I was practically on the edge of my seat wordlessly chanting "Come on, Papa Legolas. Don't be an ass. You can do it, just this once!"

I enjoy epic adventure movies in 3d. But others are merely meh. I'd recommend it! And plus these don't do cheesy 3D things. I don't think they've done that in movies for a while, but I remember some that could've been good if they didn't keep trying to bring the audience in.

I went all out with the IMAX 3D combo. I'd say it was definitely worth it and well done.

I wouldn't recommend judging so quickly, frylock. You might be pleasantly surprised if you like the characters. I went in full of doubt because I read all four books a few times, but they're well done imo

I think there was a cheesy 3D effect during Elrond's scene. I remember doing that thing where you flinch because you think it's coming at you. I'm glad no one was sat next to me.

Legolas' fight with Bolg was pretty cool, but the cheesy bit was when he does the Matrix with the stones. That, I just thought, was to... well, Matrix.

Yeaaah that was admittedly gaudy to watch.The use of CGI and general application of effects in the Hobbit trilogy really is my only complaint for the films. I much prefer the practical effects of LOTR. And yeah, also did anyone notice crazed henchman took out two, and if we count Tauriel, three characters. What. In. The. Mighty. Hell. Was. With. That?!

[Ryriena]

So it should be good to see it in three d then so eight dollar moive here I come.

Which one's the crazy henchman? Bolg? He is the bad guy in the Book. Azog doesn't exist during the books events. Of course he has to kick some major a**. It would cause an uproar if we didn't see his awesomeness.

Oh, I'm not saying that they're poorly done. It's just that I'm the sort of person that tends to be either a book or movie person - or at least a movie before the book. When I read the book before the movie, the movie tends to disappoint no matter how well done it is. If I see the movie before the book, I'm OK.

 

With LOTR, I had never been able to actually get into the books enough to slog through them, so I love the movies. But, I read The Hobbit semi-regulary. I'm afraid of what might happen if I watch the movies. I don't want to wind up not liking PJ's work, but I'm afraid they won't be the book I do love. I don't have this problem with LOTR, so it's all good there.

 

And a good part of it is that I know how MY mind wants to see it, and I'm pretty sure that I won't see it like PJ does.

Don't expect the movie to be the book word for word. But like I said before, it's a very good movie. Watch it as a marathon, and it'll be an experience. 

[TammieAZ]

My goodness! Can you people please get back on topic and off of discussing that ridiculous movie?

 

[Tishina]

My brother and I do a LOTR marathon once a year. We usually don't finish cos you know. booze. 

I've been threatened with a drunken Marvel marathon next summer by my oldest because she thinks I need to learn to appreciate Tom Hiddleston...

We do tend to veer off topic from time to time. There is only so much talking about Cullen that can be done. 

[Tishina]

WHOA WHOA WHOA. I love elves I want to be Legolas *heavy breathing* Like since I was 21 and saw the dang thing on opening night in 2001. Not that I wasn't obsessed with elves before that

 

Dwarves though... yeeeeah, dwarves are HOT

Oh, he of the magical perfect hair?

 

Hey, magical perfect hair fits right into this Commander's thread where we all speculate just what he did with his hair between DA2 and DAI...
