The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

It could be worse. Battles between purists and fans who don't mind changes is even worse.

almost as bad as Star Wars arguments.

I'm a Peter Jackson purist. Keep that Tolkien crap to a minimum.

Every bit as bad sadly.

I actually love pretty much all incarnations of LOTR. Tolkien LOTR. Rankin Bass LOTR. PJ LOTR. Even Ralph Bakshi.

I was just being a smartass to your smartass.

Eh.. Bakshi. Too close to "back hair".

Josh, do you like the 2 cartoons.

Josh, do you like the 2 cartoons.

They're ok. It's the art that I'm not really fond of. It's been a long time since I've seen them to be honest.

*Note to self, Josh hates those 2 cartoons.

Thanks Josh.

Well played sir

And I'm by no means a purist, or particularly well versed... but very cliche additives that don't do much for the story confuse me. The new stuff for the most part just felt like filler and not anything that did much to improve or bring a new lens to the story. I do hope that watching it a second time the new stuff won't stick out quite as much.

I didn't mind the new stuff added. I remember being less than excited about the new stuff they added in LOTR.

I love John Huston's Voice.

Hopefully the EE for this is better than the last movie.

 

[The Josh]

The EE for AUJ was pretty good IMO, but I do expect more than 13 mins to be added to the DOS EE.

I do too. I except to see more Beorn, Mirkwood, and Laketown.

Spoiler

I think we might see the party that makes Bofur drink to much and miss the boat.

I think we see additions to those places and we know Thrain will be in the EE. I also expect we will see what you mention in the spoiler part.
