As soon as I heard this monster was going to be more than one film I was facepalming. Jackson just... sucks at knowing what's important to the story and what isn't, and then he tacks on his own fanboy things that twist the story and it's just really annoying. I never even watched The Return of the King because The Two Towers was so painfully dumb... and I never knew just how much I liked Gimli until I saw that he'd been turned into comic relief and it really pissed me off.

Soooo long story short, I had not even heard about a random new elf character until just now and I already wasn't even remotely interested in seeing The Hobbit. (I do like Martin Freeman, but he's not NEARLY enough to make me interested.)

I am waiting for this new movie, I can not wait at all. But I really wanna see how it will do and how it will be.

I am the manry-est of men!

FINALLY someone gets it!

I cannot even believe how bad the new trailer looks. My dad has been heckling me about this movie for the past couple years, thinking I'm being overly critical, and now even he's convinced it's going to be awful.

Is that... Radagast? That distorted gnome-looking thing? Seriously? What... what is going on here? This is surreal.

Lestrade · Posted 09-21-2012, 11:30 PM

I haven't even watched the trailers due to being afraid of them XD

Suzerain of Sheol · Posted 09-22-2012, 12:02 PM

Oh, they're something else. I can't wait for the battle scene with the trolls, and the part where they meet Legolas in Mirkwood! And the romance scenes between Galadriel and Gandalf!

Oh, oh, and when all the wizards go fight Sauron in Dol Guldur. That was my favorite part of the book. I bet the special effects are going to be AWESOME!!!!

*sigh*

Considering how he turned poor Gimli into comic relief, I don't even want to think about what he's going to do with a larger dwarf cast...

Suzerain of Sheol · Posted 09-22-2012, 02:15 PM

They all look like men, not dwarves, to me...

Lestrade · Posted 09-28-2012, 11:55 PM

Were you kidding about the romance? You WERE kidding, right? ...right??

Also, I just skimmed the first couple pages of this thread and saw you talking about Beorn, and I admit: Beorn is the ONLY thing I might POSSIBLY see the movie for. Because Beorn is awesome.

So... is he making it in? Or are they cutting him and shoving in more elves? >.<

(True story: when we saw The Two Towers in the theater I had to change seats because I kept making noises of disbelief and disgust and my mom got annoyed at me.)

After Hunger Games and Extremely Loud and Incredibly close, I'm a little weary about books turned into movies.

Suzerain of Sheol · Posted 10-10-2012, 09:23 PM

I believe I saw that Beorn had been cast, which is a small glimmer of hope in the miasma of awful.

Lestrade · Posted 10-10-2012, 10:44 PM

Books to movies aren't always bad. I haven't seen or read either of those mentioned, but I keep re-watching the 1987 film version of E.M. Forster's Maurice because it's so wonderful XD Definitely one of the best adaptations I've ever seen.

Amethyst · Posted 10-10-2012, 11:38 PM

Never heard of Maurice.>>'

Lestrade · Posted 10-11-2012, 01:01 AM

IT'S SO GOOD

but it's from 1987 and out of print >.> I got my DVD off eBay

and the book was written in 1914 but published 1971

and I am sooooo off-topic >.>

Amethyst · Posted 10-11-2012, 01:19 PM

Oh wow. I just got my hands on Battle Royal now that it's availble for print in America.

But back on topic, Hopefully they'll at least have the movie scores resemble the songs from the cartoon. That'd be a nice throw in.

Lestrade · Posted 10-11-2012, 04:49 PM

Wouldn't that be like. Copyright infringement?

I don't remember the cartoon very well. I saw it once and it didn't leave it much of an impression.

Amethyst · Posted 10-11-2012, 04:55 PM

Not if he got permisson.

It's been awhile since I've seen it, But I remember when I was younger I'd watch it all the time. It amused me.
