Finally I love Tolkien and I dont like Jackson work, as I said several times, and I even think most people with a good understanding of Tolkien dont really like Jacskon's work. | ||

Sure, it wasn't the greatest ever but still good. I've read the hobbit, silmarillion and lotr and it was quite nice that the movie referenced silmarillion a few times. The few gripes I have for this movie are the stone giant scene and the goblin kingdom escape. Gandalf just shows up as the deus ex machina outta nowhere and then they comically run away and escape with cringeworthy cgi. | ||

How can you say you are surprised then end your post with the thing that clearly ruined the movie? the CGI use was so excessive and a lot of the time completely superfluous. I don't like the direction movies are going with the 3D bullshit and over-use of CGI. | ||

Suprised by the amount of people trying to defend the movie, by saying you should have read the books. like it would breathe life into a bad movie.

Thought I read something about that. apparently he coudlnt handle trying to act with all the CGI around him. he didnt like talking into nothingness and speaking to dummies of the dwarfs. | ||

I mean, it's totally the same, not like the director decided to make a 3 part movie out of a 300 page book. And even if what you said was perfectly true and the two pacing were the same, even if a book and a movie weren't drastically different medium, including when it comes to pacing, I think dismissing those people's opinion would still be wrong. Edit  wasted my 4000 on this. At least I'm a guardian :D | ||

At least I'm a guardian :Dthe problem is you went to watch a movie, it was the exact opposite of the type of movie you wanted to see, and now your complaining the point of the movie was to take the book and make it into a movie, to copy and paste as much as possible if they had rushed the pacing it would have pissed of the fans of the hobbit who were the exact type of people they were trying to please evidently you did not like the movie but thats not because it was a bad movie it just wasnt to your taste | ||

I also can't think of a PG-13 movie I find enjoyable. Appeals to the lowest common denominator, not realistic, and nothing exciting. | ||

I don't like the direction movies are going with the 3D bullshit and over-use of CGI. Maybe I did not make my point clear enough. The instance when they were rolling on that piece of wood down was the only time I really thought it was poorly done.

I'm not sure if this is a witty response aimed at me or siding with me against religious booklovers. I never said you should have read the books, just stating that I know Tolkien's work a bit before some book guy comes and yells at me for not knowing "how it was supposed to be made" or some shit. All in all, I think people were expecting something else from this movie and are now disappointed. This movie was certainly made to be more lighthearted and I don't mind. | ||

I came in expecting fun lighthearted adventure with a little darkness thrown in, thats what I got, and I enjoyed the hell out of it, If you go in expecting the movie will be exactly like the books you're going to be disappointed. What you should do is view the movie as an adaptation of the book set in the universe Tolkien created and stop nitpicking on every little changed bit. You'll enjoy it that much more. I didn't like the LotR movies as well when I first saw them because I was stuck in the EVERYTHING MUST BE EXACTLY THE SAME OR ELSE!!!!!! mindset. Years later I can thoroughly enjoy them because I don't view them as the books in movie form anymore, I view them as the movies by themselves. | ||

What I didn't like was how forward they were with their messages, they would just blatantly say what the themes were in a few scenes with gandalf and bilbo.i also thought the mountain storm giant scene was a little out of place, i thought it mustve been in the book because there was no way in hell it would just get thrown in there and look that wacky but apparently it wasn't even in the book. Bilbo character developement wasn't that good either, still really good movie though. the giants were in the book but never really given much focus to really just a couple lines and forgotten it was the giants that made them seek shelter in the cave cause it was too dangerous to move with them active | ||
