I saw it yesterday at a Hobbit Marathon (all three movies back to back). I will not disclose any spoilers and will tell you that there are several deviations from the book. If you suspend the need to follow the book, it flows as a well put together movie. It attempts to explain some “gaps” and does well to close most of them.
I saw it in IMAX 3D was pleased with the overall look and feel of the movie. Lots of action, but it did seem to have a bit of a “jumpy” or “disjointed” feel to it by running between multiple plot threads at the same time.
Some movie time was wasted on the development of third level characters. It did not have the whimsical feel that the 2nd movie suffered from.
A bunch of guys do a lot of walking in a promotional video for New Zealand...
I hate that they stretched it out to three movies when each of the lotr triology could be made in a single movie. And if the giant eagles could pick them up and save them from the orcs why didn’t they just fly the whole trip.
I like when Lester Nygaard does his HS bully’s wife.
Or was that Fargo?
Terrible movie. Too liberal for my tastes. I can only watch conservative films. I will leave the liberal movies to the rest of you. Enjoy though.
Please somebody break this down into a sentence or two.
Read the books,this appears to be exploitation.
I liked the book.
How do you know the movie is liberal?
I have read the hobbit, LOTR, and the Simarillion, and parts of The Unifinished Tales.
Aren’t you one of those who promotes voting for anyone or anything with an “R” next to it’s name?
Weren’t you the one who wanted to see that Sandra Bullock movie about 9-11? The short answer is yes.
Sorry NOT interested in P Jackson’s sordid 3 movie mess follow up to LOTR
Some of the replies on this thread are appalling. Are a large percentage of self-styled conservatives misanthropes, or just the ones on FR?
” Too liberal for my tastes. “
That’s funny right there
“if you are not interested in discussing this movie, do not ruin it for any one with “I hate the CGI” or “Peter Jackson is a Marxist” or “Frodo and Samwise were a Hollywood homosexual conspiracy” - and no spoilers.”
How about if I trash it even though I never saw it?
Well it’s Very Very long
Another Kim Kardashian thread?
