The Hobbit: That Christopher Tolkien Did Not Like
When you have the time, I believe the extended editions are well worth watching. (The extended Desolation of Smaug is not out yet, but An Unexpected Journey is.) I always prefer to watch those instead of the original theatrical version, and I especially recommend the extended Lord of the Rings because they're just amazing. The added footage is spectacular.

Definitely agreed. I've only seen the extended version of The Fellowship of the Ring, but that was much more amazing and meaningful than the theatrical one.Aeva wrote:I especially recommend the extended Lord of the Rings because they're just amazing. The added footage is spectacular.

Oh, I thought the second one was out for some reason. Good, I'm not as behind as I thought then.
So I got my hands on the extended Desolation of Smaug, but I haven't had time to watch it yet.
On another note, have any of you listened to "The Last Goodbye" yet? It's the end credits song by Billy Boyd, and I'm going to be a sobbing mess by the end of The Battle of the Five Armies.

Looks good! I am definitely looking forward to seeing this movie. I read the book (for the first time) right after seeing the second movie, but I feel like I should read it again before seeing the third one. I know that there are lots of changes, but I have enjoyed both the book and the movies.
I really can't wait for it. It looks pretty similar to the book.

Yeah, after all the drastic changes, I'm curious to see how Peter Jackson brings it to a close.

I just saw The Battle of Five Armies early as part of a Hobbit movie marathon. The newest one was amazing, even for someone who didn't like the first two movies as much. I'll wait to post the parts I loved/disliked until more people have seen it.

I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, Aeva. Do you care to elaborate on that statement?
T.S., it's good to hear that somebody liked it already! I probably won't see it for a week or two or three (it took me a month to see the second one in theatres) but I am looking forward to it!

Oh, I will gladly elaborate. Well sort of, I still can't quite put all my feelings into words.
Despite the main plot line that I quite frankly despised...
I absolutely love these films. The scenery, the characters (of course lol), the interaction, Thranduil ( Dat smirk, tho.)... Peter Jackson took my soul, but I'm too in love with his adaptation to mind.

I loved the third one far more then the first two. I almost despised the first two because of all the unnecesary additions to the story. I felt as if the third one was accurate enough for me to actually enjoy. It also felt as if there was almost no plot. And was mostly just fighting the entire time without any story surprises.
The wizard battle was SO EPIC! That was probably my favorite part of the entire set of movies besides the barrel scene.
Unicorns exist... they just got fat and now we call them rhinos.

Yeah, I actually (mostly) liked the movie portrayal of Thranduil. Thorin and Bard were also really well done in the third movie.Aeva wrote:I absolutely love these films.

I agree that the third one was improved. Thank goodness there weren't any major plot deviations that we weren't already expecting.Jehoshaphat wrote:I loved the third one far more then the first two.
