Lord of the Rings: J.R.R. Tolkien General

[Kat]

I haven't watched everything yet, did they imply any sex scenes? It would be funny because latest post mortem released work of Tolkien heavily implies a one.

[Megas]

Not really, just an awkward romance

Tbh, some of the characters here were just so random it's funny.

Legolas gets special mention for having literally almost no stake in the battle and yet continually saving people for what feels like absolutely no reason except that he can. he has no meaningful dialogue here at all

[Kat]

Gotta milk his presence for the sake of his fanboys/girls.

The hobbit doesn't follow a 3 act structure. It's one act/story. Think about it, what is accomplished in the first film? Nothing.

[SeiKeo]

Bilbo is introduced to the quest
Rising action, Angmar plot introduced and Gollum
Party makes it to within sight of the mountain, primary character conflict of film 1 resolved (Thorin/Bilbo)

do you even remember the movie come on

Uh, I don't think you understand what a 3 act structure is.

[Megas]

I mean, my main complaint about the hobbit trilogy in general is that it could have been 1-2 movies if they had trimmed the fat a bit.

The book makes a lot of the drawn out additions feel silly, but eh, I was entertained as long as I didn't take it seriously

[I3uster]

Even Jackson (or was it whoever was attached first to the project. Del Toro? I don't remember) wanted it to be 2 films.

it shows

[Arashi_Leonhart]

Jackson was producer throughout, I'm pretty sure it was a collective desire to be two films.

[RacingeR]

They could have honestly cut off film 2 and nothing much would've been lost.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

Get rid of doomed love plot, cut back on Laketown politics, maybe remove pale orc altogether, make White Council/Necromancer confrontation stuff Extended Edition features, and even if I may like him probably also remove Beorn and start second movie right amidst arachnophobia.

[Lycodrake]

Sherlock dragon still the best part of the movies.

[black1blade]

Goblin town was stretched out, Azog probably should've died in the battle before moria. Didn't galadriel literally destroy the walls of dol guldur.

- - - Updated - - -

Peter Jackson probably just kept adding pointless shit. Honestly, Dol guldur was the part I was really looking forward to but it was kinda shit tbh. Dol guldur deserved to be in the films but should've been resolved at the end of 2 to have a conclusion. Actually, Smaug should've have died at the end of the second one then the white council vs dol guldur could have been part of the climax of the 3rd film.

[Chaos Greyblood]

I suppose that Jackson found that the death of Smaug at the hands of Bard was very anti-climatic and the rest of the entire battle would have to go to the reader's imagination when Bilbo got knocked out and it pretty much faded in-out and by the time he woke up, everything was pretty much over.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

The Oakenshields send their regards.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

The Fourth Age is coming.

[SeiKeo]

well shit i guess i just saw it and the hobbit part III is a dreadful movie with few redeeming qualities

[Arashi_Leonhart]

You guess you just saw it.

What, is it easily mistaken for Mockingjay or something?

[SeiKeo]

If I had seen Mockingjay I could have had a fun time watching Jennifer Lawrence

Funny that; just yesterday I was watching X-People Days of Future Past.
