Middle Earth! {Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit} V4

[Wild Mothman]

I've seen DoS, and I'm about to go watch it again
I'm supposedly floating around laketown, but eh... at least I made the making of guide book for this film

[Bruneydog]

I saw DoS today! It was awesome, but there were some parts that frustrated me.. D: And they changed a whole lot. I did like the extra Bard, though. In the book, he's just some random guy that pops in to, well, you know. I don't want to spoil. xD Smaug was epic, and I loved the conversation between him and Bilbo.

We might see it sometime next week or so...I am not sure.

[Farrah]

I'll probably be able to watch DoS next week - this weekend I am just going to be soooo busy. But I can't wait to see it!

Oh look a thread O.o so i recently decided to go crazy with some mods for skyrim and yes this is on topic. I downloaded a few gondorian soldier armor mods so now i'm running around skyrim wearing armor inspired by the movies XD

I'm a little nervous about a few things.

I'm scared of fire, and seeing burned things scares me.

I'm thinking there might be a lot of stuff like that in this movie.

Someone said Thranduil's face is burned, and I think they'll probably show that burned city.

Just for a reference, I'm scared of the house part at the beginning of the Unfortunate Events movie, and seeing the burned guy in one of the recent Batman movies also really scared me. I'm worried that stuff in this movie will be even worse.

[Greenleaf]

@Amy, yes, Thranduil's face is burned. Quite the horrific wound, too. 0_0

I saw DoS
I saw DoS
I SAW THE FREAKING DOS


SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE

IT WAS LIKE, THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER. ALL THE BATTLE SCENES AND SMAUG AND LAKETOWN AND EREBOR AND OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS
now excuse me while I rant about what I like/dislike about the movie (may contain spoilers, if you don't want to be spoiled please don't read the small text

overall, an excellent movie. It was rather choppy at the beginning - the scenes at Beorn's house and the wandering in Mirkwood seemed particularly short - but it filled out beautifully towards the end, during the chapters 'Barrels out of Bound' and the Laketown sequences. It didn't follow the book's plot by this point, but it stayed relatively true to the books and everyone, in my opinion, was beautifully in character (save for the rather awkward scenes between Kíli and Tauriel...)
And I must admit, Tauriel isn't all that bad. The apparent crush that Legolas has on her is barely noticeable, unless you squinted really hard like me. The only things I didn't really like was the pairing of Kíli/Tauriel, as I said before. I mean, Kíli reciting love poetry? Um...
I mean, I see what PJ was implying, but non-canonical shipping is not quite my game. well, I haven't seen TABA yet, so I can't exactly judge yet.

Some little add-ons that PJ did were especially awesome; I don't want to overly spell it out, but let's just say that I feel really sorry for Kíli, and am also rather worried about Legolas; he looked like he was about to faint in that last scene with him.


Kay, done my ranting.

[The Winter Soldier]

It's okay i don't pay much attention to spoilers. o.O although Lego legolas is fun to say cause well legolas name his first four letters spell lego O.o

Hey! It's now you see me and all my other user names. I'm back on (sort of sneaking on). I saw the movie today and it was amazing! Have you guys seen it?

[angel.]

Okay, I read all the posts. I think the movie was freaking amazballs, and yeah. I am really happy with all the graphics. When Bilbo was up in the tree and all the leaves and butterflies and AH! It was all so beautiful xD I felt bad for legolas in DoS but I really like Tauriel and Kili together. At first I was like 'oh my god-no' and then I was like 'awwwww'. XD
