just got back from seeing it. worst of the three

i think my favorite part was when Legolas stabbed a giant troll or whatever through the top of its head and literally used his sword as a joystick to ram the dude into a tower.

my wife scolded me for laughing too loudly at the part where lolgolas throws his sword and kills that guy and then defies gravity by running up the falling bricks.

I didn't hate the movie, it's not good but it is p entertaining.

I watched the first Hobbit in the theater, I'm going to wait until there's a DVD extended edition of the whole thing before I watch the other two. May as well maximize the pain.

There's really no meaning in making beetles fight.
the charge of the rohirrim is pretty good and they can't top that moment so i dunno what all this epic poo poo is about

LOL if you don't instead watch the 1985 Soviet version, Сказочное путешествие мистера Бильбо Беггинса Хоббита.

If they didn't kill Thorin then the Tolkein fans would burn PJ in effigy.

I hate Legolas, so my favorite part of the Hobbit is how they changed him into a creeper. I remember when that elf girl was talking to the dwarf by the lake I whispered to my friend that Legolas was probably creeping up in the trees, and then the camera pans over and he is just standing there behind them autist staring at them.

the first two movies were good/decent but the third movie was honestly much worse than the star wars prequels

And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew he'd say "I'm gonna be like you, dad" "You know I'm gonna be like you".
The new movie was awesome when Gandalf called his dudes and the elf lady fuckin owned sauron. Also war moose and war pig were lol. All haters can suck my nutz thanks

THE BOOK was told entirely from the hobbit's perspective, and it's funny as hell because he's like "it's raining and I'm all wet, what a bother. Trolls? Fwah. What am I even doing here. Ooo look mushrooms" as these adventures happen around him. It's great

I liked how in the scene in Dol Guldur when Galadriel comes to rescue Gandalf, it starts our real mystical and other-worldly but then the nine appears (!) and Elrond shouts "you should have stayed dead".
