How about some Bofur mustache?

Wink

By all means, be hairy, be happy! Sly

There are some people who dont wish or cant stand to see precious Hobbit filmssss critisized and get all Smaugy and Intolerant ..but, there are also many people who value posts and opinions such as your own. Please, write away! Smile


I think jackson is more interested in making a good spectacle with lots of action and cgi and hacking and chasing around than properly adapting TH. He nailed it in the first hour, i think, but then he forgets what TH is about.

The bacon dialogue would have been wonderfull.

When i hear that scenes such as :

Gloin talking about his family
Saruman and the seven rings
Bilbo buying the fish at the market and avoiding Gandy
Bilbo exploring Rivendell and Meeting Elrond
Bofur singing a song at the dinner table
Gandalf remembering young Bilbo

was left out in fvaour of time spent with : cgi extravaganza ott theme park ride with flying ladders and golins and video game antics with the Gobli King, ridiculous warg chases, Azog behaving and talking like a God of War charcater with the thro him to the wolves scene, pointless action at the trolls, OTT giants boxing match, etc...

Jckson's priorities become clear to me. Which is why i look forward to the Extended Edition.

Agreed, the album soundtrack is more interesting than the actual film music which was used. I was quickly tired of the misty mountains theme being inserted into every dwarfs attacking moment...

I understand your quibbles with the prologue and i can imagine how Thorin narrating it might be interesting, but for me, since i didnt like Thorin and like Bilbo, and since its a film about Bilbo, and his tale , i find it appropriate that it is him who narrates the prologue.

The elves...i liked it all even Thranduils abandoning of the dwarves...Blush and visiting Thror.


Thorin showing up late is a change i appreciate, a is Bilbos next morning scene. I prefer it to the actual book moment. It was just so powerfull, his body language, his movements, his slow realization of what his life would be if he stayed that he just JUMPS out the door in full Tookish mode to go on an adventure! And the bet scene was lovely yes, and the handkerchief was such a good laugh.

Vous commencez à m'ennuyer avec le port!!!
