The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies – Main Trailer
6. Dwarves who look like they could have been in a boy band.
Dwarves are supposed to look like Gimli, not Justin Bieber.
(Actually this could be reason #2.5.)
“This stuff is starting to look boring.”
Yeah, if you’ve seen one CGIed 2-hour Ork battle scene where all the Orks are hacked into Ork burger, you’ve seen them all.
The Hobbit was one book, and should have been one movie.
Three movies is just greed.
#9 The trailer was too long for me!
Why do the actors today need to moan their lines?
If anything, there's not enough Saruman, especially lacking is the explanation of how he became a disciple of Sauron.
I agree that some of the battle scenes are overdone though.
Aaaahhhhhh DoooOOOoOOoonnn’t KnooOOoooOOoooOOwwww
Well, the other 4 weren’t anything like the books, so I’m not sure why anyone was surprised...
It looks fantastic to me. I just got the chills watching the clip, especially when the elves let loose with a could of arrows.
At least the Five Venoms weren’t trying to rip off Tolkien!
Lord Elrond makes an appearance. I like Thrandruil too.
My brother and I used to try and duplicate the amoeba. Never got it quite right.
1. Christopher Lee is great, and the character is there in history, so if they can use him, as long as they use him well.
2. That elf chick: I understand why they created her -- along the lines of replacing Glorfindel with an expanded role for Arwen. Something for the younger fan-boys and the fan-girls, too. That said, befriending a dwarf is a little much and falling for one is crazy stuff. Plus, it cheapens the eventual friendship between Legolas and Gimli.
3. Legolas. He's really not out of place there. He's from Mirkwood, and is the son of the King. Granted, Orlando Bloom is not Christopher Lee, and he has a much bigger role than needed.
4 and 5, I grant you will suck. Especially if the battle using hand-held "shaky" cams. One of the reasons I prefer Fellowship to Return of the King (other than the six endings) is the shaky-cam battle where my eyes never had a chance to focus on anything.
BTTT.
