What do you dislike the most : TH AUJ Can't Post
Fire away!

What is your main disappointment, complaint with this film either as an adaptation of Tolkiens work or just as a piece of cinema, or both?

What is the thing that irked you the most?

What disgusted you? If you reached that level of contempt ..Tongue


Mine is Azog and the weird" bad guy returned " moments. Combined with his cliched lines. I feel it really destroys the hobbitness of the hobbit, if you know what i mean.Wink

I also didnt like the Rivendell scenes, whereas in the fellowship they are some of my favourites. The CGi obviousness of many shots, the unimpressive camera shots, the handling of Bilbo and the dwarves, his almost absence at a point in the story when he should be the focus of attention, interrupting the sequence to see Azog throw a minion to the wolves- rolls eyes- and Bombur trashing the place, etc...
