Can't believe we need to wait another year for the next one! I loved it.
I believe the next one is out in the summer, so only 7 months or so to wait! I enjoyed it, not one for the Tolkien purist but I loved the humor and action that was added.......how many funny ways can you behead an orc Yeah, she was a great addition. Beorn was captured very well, the Orks were brilliant including Bolg (?), what a badass. Very creepy. The elven guards in full armour was another highlight, as was Thranduil... as was the spiders of Mirkwood... as was Dol Guldur... as was everything
Some CGI was a little silly, and the one scene I hate from LOTR (Legolas surfing down stairs on a shield whilst shooting arrows) was dangerously close to being repeated, but I can forgive the film that.
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Loved it. When it finished, there was a collective sigh from the audience, and murmurs of "nooo, it can't finish now!". I take that as a sign of a good film.
Next thing I am looking forward to is the battle of the five armies.

In what ways?
Poorly proportioned in the amount of time spent in the greatest forest in middle earth, to the time between them arriving at the mountain and the dragon leaving it. I thought the chase around the mountain was silly and tedious, and CGI with the liquid metal terrible.
The love seen between the elf and dwarf is ridiculous - would never happen for a number of reasons, bard was no criminal, nor common barge man - he was a bowman, captain of the guard, barrels don't appear out of no where for dwarves in desperate need, and most ridiculously, Thorin would have died in the wheel barrow on the gold flow - the heat would have killed him, and most likely destroyed his wheelbarrow also. In addition, Bilbo seeing Sauron when he put the ring on is bullst - if he had, he'd have crapped himself and told Gandalf as soon as he saw him, which would of course completely change The Lord Of The Rings.
The fact that they missed bits out was also a massive shock to me - they've got so much time to fill - why miss the black river out? Or not show the visit to Beorns house in greater detail?
In the films praise, the Gandalf story line was played very, very well.
Except him ending up in a sex cage, but im not bothered about that.

Is this available in 3D and 2D? What's the 3d like?
3D was pretty good, not over the top like some films. It added depth more than anything.FourWheelDrift said:

Excellent film. Only negative comment here is the cgi is very obvious in some places.
Tricky to find a dragon these days, trickier to find one that can act.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
