The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

[The Josh]

22 days to go for me.....
Why cant Marvel have brought this out?
Aus has had ALL the Marvel films earlier...lol.

If I have to make that trade I think I will stay with us getting these films first.

What does everyone think of the runtime? I think it's perfect.

While I did love AUJ, the Theatrical cut did feel like an Extended cut.

I've sat through shorter films than AUJ that have felt longer. I could have easily sat through another half hour in the cinema for AUJ. Hopefully TDOS feels the same.

Its fine. I could always use more but I can roll with it.

I don't know I could have used more.

This should be a pretty good ride.

 

[Centurion]

Nice!
Thanks for the clips.

 

[OSCORP]

That last clip was the best thing i've seen in a while.

Agreed. Thranduil looks badass.

I wish my name was Thranduil.

Call me crazy but I am going to avoid seeing clips. I want as much of the film to fresh to me with very few expectations going in.

Ok, let me back up a minute. I could have sat thru more as well. I should have clarified that it felt like an extended cut because of the little character bits here and it felt like Jackson kept scenes in that normally would have been gone if he had a studio breathing down his neck.

I've only seen a couple. I won't watch any if I can avoid it.

 

[The Josh]

I've seen it all and saved almost all of it for both movies and tons of LOTR stuff.

Nope. I feel the same way...about all movies. I like going in fresh.

OK.

I haven't seen the extended cut of AUJ, do people prefer it to the theatrical cut?

 

[pixletwin]

OK.

I definitely do.

 

[Darth Waller]

All these years I've pronounced is name as smog. Oh well.

 

[greygoose]

I definitely do.

Cool. I'll watch it one day.

 

[The Josh]

OK.

I do think its better. I'd give AUJ a 9/10 but the EE gets a little higher at 9.25/10.
