Agreed, and agreed. lol. I think it was more cheesy for being LESS spectacular. It looked more tacky than it would have had they gone with the more powerful expression. I don't know why people assume that a powerful display has to be cheesy. It has been a big hang up of Peter's as well, but only when it comes to Gandalf. . . I have never heard anyone describe the horse waves or the storm of Saruman as cheesy or gaudy. The only word I have ever heard used to describe Dumbledore's fiery moment in the caves in the sixth Potter movie was "epic." Yes, whizz bang wand projectiles can be very cheesy and gimmicky and silly looking. But why on earth would a more potent showing of Gandalf's magic be any of those things? His entrance into the Great Goblin's lair was epic and wonderful. Thank God. If they had gone with fire of the same hue and intensity of that which he is shown using to dislodge a massive boulder in the caverns, it would have been pitch perfect. Magic fire makes more sense than regular fire, considering the dwarves and Bilbo were both able to hold a pinecone on fire and throw it successfully with no burns. It would also explain how a raging fire was started in only 30 seconds, the pinecones would need a magical explosive presence to do so. I like how people are complaining this would be cheesy, when the cheesiest scenes in the movie take place right after: the "epic" slow-motion battle and the "I'm not angry, fooled you" hug. "Hear me, hounds of Sauron, Gandalf is here! Fly if you value your foul skins, I will shrivel you from tail to snout if you step within this circle!" "Do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

Thrilled the Pinecones were included. . . but they could have been more impressively managed, and being true to the book would have made it so.

Blue flame is commonly seen in everyday life. There are extremely large and hot Blue Stars. Any gas stove lights up more blue than anything.

I was never in the realism howling choir anyway. No mortal knows the fundemental nature of reality, and if I wanted a more everyday experience

I don't think different color fire would have looked 'magical'

And that is why I stuck with blue. The Animated version (and even a videogame version of The Hobbit)
