The Hobbit

[Amblève. 4,995]

What was your reaction to him bringing down a giant elephant in the third one then?!

I was okay with that one actually. The Pelennor battle was just too epic as a whole that Legolas could do any harm to that. But that snowboarding scene... I'm still pissed

Too many Legolas moments though, when Aragorn was the greatest warrior of his age?

This one had to many as well.Just seemed to keep popping up

Especially when he is fat and old, they should have left him out

God. Why did Peter Jackson cut that out?!

it took up time, reserved for romantic fan fiction

but really , they didn't come to blows in the book , and jackson already messed it up enough. I wouldn't have enjoyed seeing that in the cinema

I'll admit that it perhaps didn't suit the pacing of the movie but I don't see how that's supposed to be for romantic fan fiction. It would at least help to illustrate the animosity between the dwarves and elves beyond words and show how Thorin, Dwalin, Kili and Fili got the rams when they went to fight with Azog. When you watch the movie, you feel it's somewhat incomplete. It feels much more of a complete product with the extended edition since it covers some of the obvious plotholes.

If he had followed closely to the book, it would have been dull. I generally don't mind changes being made as long as they are handled correctly and there was plenty of Tolkien materials to get bits and pieces from.

I agree. Something not quite right about this. A more suitable conclusion would have been for the Dwarves to charge, and before they come to blows with the Elves, for the armies of Azog to appear.

Only 13 extra minutes as well. The ROTK extended edition had an extra 48 minutes. Even The Desolation of Smaug had an extra 25. Not sure how they're going to rescue this one with 13 minutes added, unless they show Beorn, Beorn, and more Beorn - who was, after all, the deciding factor in the battle. A funeral for Thorin and his nephews wouldn't be amiss, either. Biggest film let-down ever, for me.

yeah , you are right. beorn and the eagles was glossed over, but they have time to add in, made up worms and legolas acrobatics.

well , he didn't have to limit himself to the text , but i felt he was hiding behind technology, and failing to emphasize the important moments.

Fair enough and scenes like Legolas' and Tauriel's trip to Gundabad were definitely pointless. Didn't really add anything at all to the story and PJ could have used something much better in place of that. The best thing he did in the entire trilogy was his work on Smaug. It's the best dragon ever in movie history.

That's one of the extended scenes in the DVD/Blu-ray.

I also found it annoying that we do know what happened to Thranduil. Did he just return to Mirkwood after the battle or did he get the gem he was looking for in Erebor before heading back? Urgh!

[Jase 43,479]

Whoa! Watch as a horse tramples over Thranduil's 'Hobbit' elf speech

:lol:

I hope that is shown. I always thought the Arkenstone was claimed by Thranduil after Bard had to given to him by Bilbo, but as a mark of respect, Thranduil buried it with Thorin.

That too. Totally forgot about the Arkenstone.

rewatching the scene you posted, it is buried with Thorin, so some interchange between Thranduil and the Dwarves would go down well.

Oh. I actually haven't watched any of the extended scenes except the Elves v Dwarves one. Waiting to see them all on Blu-Ray.
