The Goblin King crashing was a bit much maybe but everything before that was great.

Really disappointed the Eagles didn't talk to Bilbo at the end, the Eagle king better ****ing talk.

I just got back from seeing this in IMAX. I'd bought tickets for 3D but when we got there the theatre had problems so I had to watch it in 2D. Not that it really ruined anything for me so I was fine with it.

Awesome, awesome, awesome movie. I friggin loved it. So enjoyable. I can't understand how some people aren't loving this movie and coming away not impressed. It sucked me right in just as LOTR did. Perhaps in a different way, but sucked in nonetheless. Sure it's not as dark and dreary as LOTR...it's not supposed to be. There are a lot of lighthearted moments. But yet there were plenty of "oh ****!" moments.

Thorin was badass. Azog is one hell of an enemy. The goblin town was cool. Rivendell scene was fantastic. Riddles in the dark was perfect. The dinner at Bilbo's was funny and just how I remembered it in the book. I can go on but you've heard it all before.

I just loved it. Cannot wait for the next movie.

I told you months ago they wouldn't. Eagles in Jackson's adaptations don't talk and they won't in any movie. You will see the eagles at the battle of the five armies but no talking.

I do wish there was some communication between Gandalf and the Lord of the Eagles....even non verbal

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

I would have shortened the Stone Giant scene, Shorten Goblin king chase...Have the Lord of the Eagles after dropping off the 15 land next to Gandalf, screech and have Gandalf touch his chest and say "How is the old Arrow wound?" and have him screech and nod and have Gandalf say "Good and Thank you my old friend" and have him fly off screeching...I would have had Azog killed in this picture and at the very end reveal Bolg wanting revenge....I would have at least mentioned Durin's Bane...I would have had a Thrain trying to be recued by Gandalf scene showing how Gandalf got the Map and Key plus finding out that Thrain lost the Dwarven Ring of Power

see above...too lazy to re-type

Yet goblins and trolls do? Fail. How do they plan on doing the scene with the great Eagle?

I don't know why Jackson opted for no talking eagles in Lord of the Rings but since he didn't there I understand why he didn't in The Hobbit. My guess is digitally its more of a pain than having creatures with a more humanoid jaw talk. The scene I think you're thinking of happened at the end of this movie. The birds did not take them to their nest but just straight to Carrock. All in all I don't consider it a fail. It's not something that has ever been a big issue.

I bet they talk in the last one.

If they don't, there's something wrong.

The eagles? I wouldn't count on it.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread *SPOILERS*

All I want is the old raven Roac(I think) to talk in the third film

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread *SPOILERS*

I was surprised they flew off so quickly. My belief is Peter Jackson did not want them to talk because then people would start questioning why they didn't attend the Council of Elrond

He may at best speak his language which would be subtitled.

If we can have a **** covered wizards riding bunnies, they can have talking eagles.

It's not really the same thing but doesn't matter the eagles in the movies don't talk. If you want talking eagles read the book.

That would be acceptable...plus the thrush can talk in his language he communicated with Bilbo, Bard and Roac...Thank goodness Smaug will talk

I may be misremembering because its been so long since I've read the book, but isn't there an important conversation with The Lord of the Eagles and their involvement in the battle if five armies?

I don't really care so much about eagle speech, I'm really hoping he can pull off speaking spiders.
