The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

[Khev]

That barrel scene was impossibly fun.

Truly!

Spoiler

Bombur's barrel bouncing around and taking out all the orcs had me in stitches, and then again when he busted his arms out and started doing battle like a crazy tazmanian barrel man from hell.

I hope somebody makes a statue of that!

Did anyone else get a chuckle out of...

That's my wee lad, Gimli.

i couldnt stop laughing. Especially since it kept going when you thought th bouncing would stop

If I remember right, TT didn't have as strong of Opening as FoTR did. Nothing to be worried about.

I actually can't wait to see this again. A lot of hate being flung at this movie on other message boards.

Each of the LOTR movies opening was better than that last. Yeah, I think $75 million is still good and its getting good word of mouth.

I haven't seen a lot of hate on the boards I visit. Some hardcore purists are hating it but that's nothing normal. Like I said the word of mouth its getting has been pretty positive.

yes. Scenes like make me not mind the decision to put Legolas in this movie.

And then to cap it off his perfect pointed toe ballerina launch back into an empty barrel. I was laughing so freaking hard.

I hope the EE features more

Bilbo taunting the spiders.

 

[TURINS~BANE]

smaug was fantastic

 

[The Ween]

The Smaug sequences are practically their own movie. Dang I need another fix.

Soooo glad they nailed Smaug. I wonder why they showed that awful close-up of his head looking for Bilbo in that first trailer. The finished version looked a thousand times better.

I'm not sure I can't wait till Christams to see it again. I might have to go next week.

Yeah. I need to see it HFR. Then the Blu-ray in April, then the first TABA trailer in May or so. Then the DOS EE in October, and TABA in December. At least there will be a new "fix" of some kind every few months until next Christmas.

Transformer Bombur! I thought I was gonna pee myself at that!

HFR was pretty cool. I didn't get a headache like last year.

Sure are, mostly by the book "purists". I read where someone called them "internet hipsters".

I've tried to explain to them the difference between making movies and writing books, but they can't comprehend that.

The Hobbit is a children's book written in the 30s. You can't make a good movie out of that book doing it word by word. Sorry, it wouldn't be good and not everyone reads books so you have to cater to those people as well.

Spoiler

And as for this big "romance". I sure didn't see it. It really wasn't a big deal.

Sounds like a plan!

You didn't see it because it was very organic and not forced.

To someone who hasn't read the books those scenes don't stick out at all.

I expect more of that and more of Beorn for sure. I know we're getting Thrain's backstory.

There's always going to be those. As a whole it's getting great word of mouth.

Yeah, just because the two are attracted to each other doesn't make it a romance.

Actually, Legolas could've been in the book only not named so I never had a problem with it.
