Smug again

[DS23]

The stuff about Azog was what annoyed me most about the last one. Trying to set up some great good vs evil battle that just wasn't there in the book and is superfluous to the story. I did enjoy the film to an extent, but it was marred by the unnecessary changes.



You can't let go of being precious about the book! Sounds like I am going to be really peed off when I watch the next one if they make that many changes

ah, er yes. i was maddened by azog in film 1. he's dead fer chrisakes!

oh dear. you're going to hate the changes in 2 because there's a warehouse full of them.

still a great spectacle though. go on! you can't beat a bit of middle earth. smaug is most magnificent.

Oh good point, I'd forgotten about that stuff

[alluvial]

I never saw the first one. I got so pissed off with the unnecessary changes made to LOTR that I never felt any enthusiasm for The Hobbit. Sounds like I shall need to continue my boycott.

LotR was a pretty faithful adaptation

[DirtyDog]

Heard a few people say Gravity was worth a watch, will have to try and check it out. Not seen the Hobbit yet and am fairly unmoved by it so far. Too many changes in the first episode for my liking. They shouldn't have added new tulip to it and just done it as two movies. But that wouldn't have made as much cash would it

Honest Trailers summed the first one up in four seconds (3:00 onwards)

You can read the book quicker than you can watch the film trilogy.

WHS. There was stuff missed out but what was there was pretty accurate.

There was stuff added that wasn't in the book, IIRC. Which if you are going to cut bits out seems daft.

Or maybe that was Harry Potter. Or maybe both. I get so confused these days.

Pah!
Aragorn attacked by Wargs & falling off a cliff
The ghost's attack saving Minas Tirith
Faramir becoming almost the opposite of what he is in the book
Frodo rejecting Sam and Sam turning back on the stairs of Cirith Ungol
Eomer being banished and so not at Helm's Deep
An army of elves turning up at Helm's Deep

There's a few for you.

what I always wondered

if the two hobbits were airlifted out so easily

why were they not dropped in whilst the nazgul were on foot.


it would have saved sooo much trouble
