This time of year we usually get a slew of Xmas check yer brain in at the door popcorn movies...

Big budget, fantasy, sci fi sort of movies...


All that I've heard about so far is the second Hobbit movie :-k What am I missing?

And from what I've been reading, the critics aren't exactly thrilled with the new Hobbit film either.

I found the first one was better after a second watch....I love those movies no matter what, it will have to be pretty bad for me not to like it

IT'S THE SAME AS LORD OF THE FUCKING RINGS!!!!!

They walk for miles, have a bit of a fight. Walk some more, walk into another fight. have a bitch n moan about a hobbit/wizard. make up. walk some fucking more. then the film ends before they've fucking gotten anywhere near the place they wanted to go!!!!!!!!! ::x theres a fucking wizard with them, why not get him to just teleport you or summon a giant bird to fucking fly you there!! Fuck walking! walking's shit!

The hobbit - 2.5 hr film of fucking walking. to get no fucking where! i'd have rather had lunch with my mother in law for 2.5hrs instead of watch that again!!


But yeah, Hollywood's right out of ideas for new films.

Yeah, i wasn't the biggest fan of the series either.......... why get some midget bastard to go on a mega crusade to dump a ring into a volcano when you have an all-powerful wizard that could've done it? Makes no sense [-(

That looks cool. I'm going to see that.



And for all you LOTR haters.... bite me. You all suck.

"Waaaaahhh. All they do is walk! Waaaaaahhhhh!"

Have to agree with all the LOTR comments...as much as I love the cinematography and all, the movies were way too fucking long :lol:

If they cut down on just half the walking and talking and generally doing nothing, the trilogy could have been made into just 2 films instead, or possibly one really long film.

I loved them and didn't mind the walking. After all, there was no mass transit in Middle Earth and they did have a long way to go...which was part of the story ffs :lol:

I guess I enjoyed the various parts of the land, the inhabitants etc ...how it changed the closer they got to Mordor.

The line from Samwise (I think) was how he'd never been past Brandybuck Farm in his life. Kind of an analogy for most people who've never seen our world either.

Tank brings up a good point with the birds....we've seen them twice now and if I was a hobbit walking along for 10000 miles with Gandalf, at one point I'd have to say - Gandalf? Why the fuck are we killing our feeteses when we could be flying in style biotch???!!!! :x

I still have to disagree with Tank, Muddy etc....rarely do I watch a movie and find every scene interesting...there really wasn't much in the LOTR movies that took the viewer out of immersion in terms of effects or true moments...

I read all of the books in my teens, knew what was going to happen and still was pleasantly surprised with the movie adaptations...another rarity (for me anyways), when the movie gives you the feel of the book it's based on.
