Raidernation Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 You're right, my spelling is bad. But almost all of the "early" stories are tragedies, didn't stop Shakespeare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Is Cauliflower Cumberbunch playing the Necromancer in this one, or is that still to come? Loving the hate for Legolas though. Maybe that lassie from Lost will take some of the heat for him as well this time. No sign of Billy Connolly in anything yet. Has he been dropped?

Ranaldo Bairn Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 He's Dain is he not? Probably appear in the run up to the BO5A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaviliunas Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 They should leave Melkor and the Creation alone, although Beren and Luthien is pretty much made for Hollywood Even the witch kings story would be pretty fucking brilliant to see adapted into a movie.

RandomGuy. Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 You're right, my spelling is bad. But almost all of the "early" stories are tragedies, didn't stop Shakespeare Yeah but Hollywood has the unrelenting desire to make every blockbuster "happy clappy", so they'd no doubt either change the story or try and brighten it up Even the witch kings story would be pretty fucking brilliant to see adapted into a movie. The Witch Kings story? Not much is known about what he does outwith the numerous battles and wars he's involved in, so it would be a movie filled with battles. Not necessarily a bad thing, but again they'd end up adding parts in and diluting it all. Some stories, his especially, are perhaps more interesting in literature than they would be in film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestersKTID Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Brief reviews i've read seem to think its better than the first installment. Can't wait, going to see it on sunday 3d but the lower framerate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 "One adult for the Hobbit please" No shame in that, I would do the same if I had to. Looks like I'll be going to see this on Monday. I can't remember the last time I was so excited for a film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'm not going for another week or so, despise watching films I'm interested in with a large audience. If anyone applauds I silently murder them in my mind. With fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Watched it tonight. Very enjoyable. Thought it was slightly better than the first. Having not read the book in over 10 years it was great to be reminded of it all. Would encourage everyone to see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCR Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'm a massive fan of LOTR, and I love the hobbit book, but the first film wasn't very good. I've not watched it since the cinema. The reviews are sounding positive for part 2, so fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomp my root Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I'm a massive fan of LOTR, and I love the hobbit book, but the first film wasn't very good. I've not watched it since the cinema. The reviews are sounding positive for part 2, so fingers crossed. I'm with you mate, I'm a huge Tolkien fan, read LOTR 11 times over the years and The Hobbit about 4 or 5. I thought Jackson took a massive shit on The Hobbit part 1, I'm not hopeful for part deux but I'll be going on monday (or more likely tuesday, I've got a big piss up on sunday night) anyway. I can understand it being a 2 parter but he's taking the piss with 3, its been padded out with his own interpretations. Considering he stuck to LOTR as closely as he could, he's ripping us off for an extra film with this 'franchise'. If they were going to do more Tolkien films I was looking forward to 'The scourging of the Shire' but seeing as how Sharkey got his at Orthanc I realised it wasn't going to happen. Would love to see some more stuff on the big (or small) screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Very long but very decent! 8/10 and better than the first film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 ...and better than the first film To be fair, that's not saying much. Despite the pretty good reception part 2 has had, I think part 1 has permanently put me off the trilogy. Unlikely I'll be watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I am not a huge film fan but enjoyed The Hobbit,the fighting scences are really really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
