The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

[Niltusk]

always pictured Beorn to look like a huge Brian Blessed in his prime, not this..

Good pick, that is close to what I pictured him as too.

This is one of those times I'm glad that he doesn't. I don't think a lumberjack/grizzly adams/Hagrid Clone would look good. I actually like they did something different with this character.

I'm not surprised.

As someone else said, PJ could've cast Bilbo as a woman, or made Smaug a sheep, and it seems like you'd defend the decision.

I really mean it as no offense, but I do find it amusing.

As long as Bilbo doesn't magically float away and spend the movie floating in space...Josh will be happy.

I'm not offended. If it was a close friend saying this stuff I might be.

Beorn's not a character I have a close connection to so changes to him I can roll with. I also want to see how he acts in the movie to see if the spirit of the character is still there. If he still gives off the same feeling I get from the book I will be pleased. I'm a pretty hardcore Tolkien fan so I don't just accept things easily. There are almost all designs and looks I have my mind made up for so I won't just accept anything. There were several of the Dwarves I needed to see in action before warming up to. I expect Beorn to be the same. Jackson has done enough to earn the benefit of the doubt for me until I see it in the movie.

Fine with Beorn

Damn you that made me laugh.

 

[Frank]

Well guys, at least Beorn ain't CGI. Goofy as hell though.

Anyone watch the extended version of the hobbit? Has a lot of extra dialogue and a couple of new scenes. Fun watch.

I didn't get all of them the last time. I ended up just getting 3 of the 5 or something that they did. I will make sure to get all four of the main covers this time.
