Incanus 5,714 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I am more interested in seeing the Appedices documentaries than additional footage at this point. It will be a culmination of 12 appendices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,287 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 So, they "even just got" the PG 13 rating? BOTFA doesn't strike me as a violent film. Did standards change? In Fellowship, in Balin's Tomb, Aragorn beheads a goblin, after which blood is springing from his neck like a fountain. Didn't seem to bother anyone back then.Nah, people definitely did criticize LOTR's violence. I'm sure all three of them just barely snuck by with their PG-13 ratings.That said, I find it odd that BOTFA's EE would get an R while LOTR's still kept the lower rating even with some of the added stuff. Probably you're right that standards for movie violence are getting more restrictive...I also think if Fili, Kili, or Thorin's deaths are more gruesome that possibly could have made a difference compared to LOTR where most of the goriest stuff was done to Orcs and not the human(-looking) characters.

Barnald 365 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 To be fair, I actually like these movies (well I love AUJ, but have problems with the other two), so I'm allowed to want more footage. Unlike you hypocritical fucks.As much as we all want 36 minutes, the FSK aren't going to get it wrong having seen it. They are German after all, so mistakes like that aren't possible.

Barnald 365 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Most sources saying its longer are probably going by the placeholder length for the AMC cinema showing, and PJs comments. And these sources are used by other sources to say that it'll be around 30 minutes.I love those (previously unseen?) stills of Gandalf and Thorin in that second cover!Mmm we might leave that one to SUH.Huh?Hobbit fan martyrdom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faleel 5,348 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Well just think that the reason it was originally said to be 30 something minutes more is because there was going to be more Tauriel, but then PJ decided not to add the Tauriel stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,315 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Pretty perplexing and disappointing that only 20 minutes are being added to such a perplexing and disappointing movie. It needs a hell of a lot more material than that to change my opinion of the film.Peter Jackson is no fool; he knows how to direct movies, but the theatrical version of this film was an absolute misfire and I would've thought he'd do everything in his power to make amends. I'm inclined to say 20 minutes of extra footage won't change a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnald 365 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I suppose there is always the possibility he could indeed change footage, but I don't buy that for a second.And BB you know I will always choose you if it comes down to it, but I fear my preference for Pope could throw a spanner in the works.

crumbs 14,315 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 If he's cut out 10 minutes and actually added a full 30, I'll give him all the credit in the world.I simply don't see that happening though. If the extent of these extra 20 minutes is garbage like death scenes for invented characters like Alfrid, it simply reiterates that Jackson has lost touch with what made people fall in love with Tolkien's writings.

Incanus 5,714 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 20 minutes can actually change a lot. But of course, yet again, it depends on what this additional material consists of...I think PJ will focus on deepening Alfrid's pivotal character.

crumbs 14,315 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 The sad thing is BOTF is probably 10 minutes of trimming and 20 minutes of adding away from being a solid film.It's craving an extra 5 minutes at the end, for starters. I know he wanted to avoid a repeat of ROTK's never-ending-ending, but was cutting back the third act to an afterthought really such a good idea? He went to an extreme in the totally opposite direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnald 365 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Faeces? I heard he was launched via catapult into some kind of beast's mouth, but according to that Chronicles book they devised loads of deaths for him, so God knows what they went with.
