Faleel 5,346 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I wonder how the Hobbit will be affected by this? will the swordfighting be different than LOTR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Quite likely. The fighting style was bound to be different anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilal 569 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Rest in peace Bob Anderson. You did great work in the Star Wars saga and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.I wonder how the Hobbit will be affected by this? will the swordfighting be different than LOTR?He didn't work on The Hobbit, so, as K.K. said, the fighting style was bound to be different. And there isn't that much fighting in The Hobbit anyway."The Hobbit (2012): Sword Master"Source: Wikipedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brónach 1,302 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I've been explained that the swordfight in The Princess Bride is very good, better than most "serious" fake swordfighting in movies, despite being comedic and including a fencing joke or two.I saw that film when I was a kid and loved it then. Saw it recently and I didn't know what to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,352 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 The swordfight in The Princess Bride is my favorite movie swordfightBtw how is that movie? Is it worth a watch? Btw, is it realistic or very cheesy, is it too 80-ies or watchable for a modern audience?I grew up watching it as a kid so I love it. If I saw it for the first time now as a 32 year old I dunno how I would like it. It's like Goonies in that regard.It's not really 80s like, since its set in a fantasy world. It's not very cheesy either in my opinion. It's just funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,042 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 The swordfight in The Princess Bride is my favorite movie swordfightBtw how is that movie? Is it worth a watch? Btw, is it realistic or very cheesy, is it too 80-ies or watchable for a modern audience?Definitely worth a viewing. I saw it for the first time as a kid and didn't really get all the fuss...it took me a while to really get into it. Now I love it for its rather intentional cheesy off-ness. It's got some very quotable lines and memorable moments.Um, The Phantom Menace had the best sword fighting of any movie I've seen.Probably the most satisfying aspect of that movie.Yep. Not necessarily the most realistic, but certainly the most fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
