Please Mr. Jackson, don't go to this level again....

*snip*

So incredibly dumb

I will have WOAAAARR!

 

So excited for this movie!

[Pateu]

So I'm not the only one thinking Luke Evans is basically Will Turner IRL.

 

Good.

[Inquisitor Recon]

Hopefully there will be less stupid dwarf/elf romance and pointless scenes they added just so Orlando Bloom can kill things.

Hopefully there will be less stupid dwarf/elf romance.

Considering things don't go so well for Fili and Kili in the book...

[Inquisitor Recon]

Doesn't matter how it ends, it didn't make any sense, it used time that could have been better spent on other scenes, and it downplays the whole animosity between the elves and dwarves.

 

They wanted to give Orlando Bloom his cameo, I get that. Yet did he and the guard captain (who really isn't great at her job) really need their own story arc? Why the hell is Legolas even chasing after that orc? Upset that he got a nosebleed?

 

And Peter Jackson made Smaug look like something of a wuss the way he sorta leaves right after the dwarves humilate him. Why the hell did they think pouring molten gold on a dragon would accomplish anything?

[Dr.Fumbles]

It looks decent as long as they don't try to kill a dragon by fire again.

Yeah that gold thing was dumb.

It was extending and injecting action into a scene that didn't need it. Especially since riddles in the dark was handled pretty well.

[TheRealJayDee]

Goddamnit, they ALMOST had me kind of excited again! It wasn't the Hobbit I know and love, but it looked pretty damn... well, not bad at least.

Then came the "ram chariot with installed crossbow vs wargs on a frozen river" and "CGI cart with a dwarf (?) goes down some stairs" scenes and just like that all my blossoming anticipation was gone again. It's a damn shame...

Is it just me that thinks the visuals and combat scenes might be the weakest part of the Hobbit movies?

 

I just get a very clear disconnect and can't suspend my disbelief during those scenes at all, it's less of "oh crap, these characters I like are in real danger!" and more "oh, looks like it's time for CGI action scene #56". The combat in particular just feels... too smooth, nothing seems to have any impact.

 Maybe because the only "combat" Has just been a series of rube goldberg machine like getaways, rather than actual fighting?

Yup. I love the films but that's exactly how the combat felt. You kinda just watch the dwarf/elf of the moment rack up a high score. (Still loved the barrel scene and the Smaug chase, pre-statue shenanigans tho)

 

I'm hoping now that the battles will be upped in a scale a bit that we might finally be past all that.

I think the movies have gotten better as they went along and this one should be the best . I am going to be a pain and say the book was better

[smoke and mirrors]

Looking forward to the finale!

 

The downside is, what will happen to Peter Jackson and, for that matter, New Zealand afterwards?

 

Cheers,

 

 

Don`t worry about it , the prices you have to pay to look at Hobbiton PJ and New Zealand are going fine

[Aaleel]

The movies are entertaining enough, but honestly the amount of things he added to the source material is kind of ridiculous.  I mean he added a love triangle where 2/3 of the people involved weren't even in the original work.  The book really had no strong female characters that I can remember, so you add one and then reduce her character to the run of the mill love triangle?

 

I'm just wondering how much he's going to stick with the book as far as the outcome of the battle, because it has the potential to be very bitter sweet ending if he sticks to the original work.

[mybudgee]

^ I can almost guarantee the ending of the book will be M.I.A.

[Beerfish]

The Dragon hoard parts of the film?  That is Peter Jacksons actual living room.

 

I liked the 1st one in the series, not near as much the 2nd one, just a few too many differences from the book.  I will still look forward to the last one.

That's implying Return of the King sucked.

 

Hint: It didn't.

I daresay that I liked the movies better so far, but it's an apples to oranges comparison. The Hobbit was a children's book that compressed the actual battle of the Five Armies in, what, two pages?

Looking forward to the finale!

Mass a Effect movie perhaps. I sure New Zealand can double for a number of alien planets and Peter Jackson does seem to have the knack for adapting works that's many people say are unfilmable.

Hobbit - There and back again

                   

Hobbit - THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES MOTHERFUKER YEAH CHECK THIS CGI 3D

 

 

It is genuinely impressive how well the new title sums up everything that is wrong with the trilogy. Way too much, way too often, way too all the time these movies are too bloated, big and WOO FUKEN AWESOME way too much and  from all the wrong places. 

 

I thought Jackson did absolutely brilliant work with LOTRO. Including/specially during moments when story still remained pretty small and lingered pretty close to them grassroots.(Namely majority of Fellowship) With this in mind, I'm surprised he has slaughtered Hobbit so well.

To be honest, I was surprised that the title wasn't called Battle of the Five Armies initially way back when.

I swear some of you will complain until the day you die.

[JobacNoor]

The original trilogy was very impressive in terms of visuals and has also aged well.

[Dominus]

Today: '' What is this CGI crap!!! We want real actors fighting!!! ''

Personally doesn't bug me, though Nostalgia Critic does raise a few good points.

I liked the trailer, it'll make for a good popcorn flick. The Desolation of Smaug was entertaining enough(though the storylining had an awful lot of issues).
