But every word you say today
Gets twisted 'round some other way
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied

Surely, if Mirkwood and the spiders is in film 2, then we have no hope of seeing Smaug at the end of film 1.
Or am I missing something?
Apparently, you missed what Eleniel wrote in the original post:
Firstly, the article reports that Jackson "hints the dragon will make a fleeting appearance in the first film, most likely in the prologue, and will remain as liquid tongued as the book's memorable villain (he is a character not a monster)."

Apologies if I've missed it in another thread but the trolls bIt seems interesting

The idea that the trolls being in Rhuadur links back to them being driven out of the mountains and that this acts as a clue to Gandalf (presumably that evil things are stirring).
I rather like that.

I loved the FOTR prologue, and think it is a great way to immediately immerse the audience in a secondary reality.

I felt the FotR prologue looked a bit cheesy. I preferred the EE "concerning hobbits" prologue. I also preferred the TT prologue.

The FotR prologue was extremely well-done, IMO.

Beautifully shot and expertly narrated by Cate Blanchett.

The only bit that looked cheesy

Was the Last Alliance bit, which featured some of the worst CGI in all three films, IMO.
What did you find cheesy about it?

I guess I would have preferred a more gradual revelation of the plot, as in the book, but I can see why they didn't go that route.

But apart from the Last Alliance battle, the rest of the prologue is very lovely, with beautiful images, dialogue and music. IMO, parts of the prologue, bits of the TTT opening, many of the Shire scenes, and some of the scenes in Rohan, are almost in another class than the rest of the films. To me, it is as if a superior director created those scenes, and someone much less talented came in and filled out the remaining 9 hours.

We should be getting this issue of Empire in mid-to-late November.

Can someone PM me a link to the scans? I'd really like to read it but obviously don't want to cause whoever has them to get into trouble so a PM would be nice. :)
Thanks.
