Can't Post

I finally managed to convince my boyfriend to go see AUJ. He is not really a fan of fantasy, and only has a very vague impression of the Lord of the Rings movies. He used to get Gandalf mixed up with Dumbledore. Anyway, after much hype from me, he agreed to see AUJ -- a bit reluctantly of course. I think he was just wondering why I liked it so much. Here are some of his comments after the movie: - The Erebor flashback was AWESOME - He liked all the wizards (yep, all three -- Saruman included). He asked with interest about the blue wizards and whether they were going to appear in the next movie. He was not quite sure if Galadriel was also a wizard. His favorite wizard was Radagast, who he thought was very entertaining. - Liked the bunny sled and the hedgehog. - Felt that The Company was totally useless and kept getting themselves into trouble and always had to wait for Gandalf to save the day. - Gollum was great. - There was too much killing (!) He was wondering why they had to kill everything they came across: trolls, goblins, wargs (which he thought were wolves; he did not like it when he thought they were killing animals) - Overall, the movie was entertaining to watch, but the main problem was that he felt that nothing happened, and it was just a series of the same thing (company gets into trouble with some enemy, Gandalf saves them, repeat). - He looks forward to seeing more of the dragon in the next film. That's it. Just sharing :)

There were moments when it was too graphic. Thror really stands out.
