I'm just not seeing any of that up on the screen.
All i'm saying is that out of all the dwarves, he's the least interesting *to me*, and my least favorite; and that i question the motivations behind how PJ and Co. chose to bring him to the screen and how that affected the character we see up there. That's all. He's not terrible or anything; in fact, he's perfectly adequate-- better than i thought he'd be, actually. I just happen to think that all the other dwarves were pulled off better, either visually or through characterization.
Considering what we could have gotten, i think that the dwarves are overall a huge success, and one of my favorite parts of the film.
Now i think i'm done talking about Kili!
That's funny. I saw it up on screen(aside from the stuff that talks about what it possibly means for future films, which I saw of course in my crystal ball). :) Shame you didn't, it was good stuff. LOL
Also something I thought about after my other post couldn't be edited anymore. PJ and Co seem to have chosen one dwarf out of each dwarf grouping to characterize more strongly.
Balin and Dwalin - he characterized(in keeping with the book) Balin most strongly.
Bofur, Bifur, Bombur - he characterized Bofur most strongly(played by the most recognizable actor, who also is relatively normal looking compared to his brother and cousin).
Ori, Nori, Dori - tough one because Ori did get a bit, probably due to his erm...role...in LOTR but seemed like Dori got the most lines and characterization.
Oin and Gloin? You know I think Oin was actually a bit stronger but I don't think there was a big different.
And with Kili and Fili, Kili was more strongly characterized. And he is Thorin's nephew and he does die - so it makes sense that he'd be one of the top ones overall.
It's hardly like it is a situation where only Kili was singled out.
As for the other "motivations" Jackson was apparently a fan of Aidan's show, Being Human, so maybe his reasons for "forcing him on you" are far more "mundane" and he simply really likes him as an actor and feels he can pull off something with the character, a theme of the plot, Jackson wants pulled off?
