Quintus 5,399 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I don't know, none of them were particularly great. Thorin was the absolute worst though. God what a total dickhead,I was glad when he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Oh Balin! What folly it was that drove you to reclaim Moria? It was a brave, but foolhardy venture!He wanted to be a dwarf lord once more! Not some lickspittle to Daín but his own dwarf!Ofcourse the LOTR films never really made it clear that Moria had been abandoned for ages and Balin's quest was a recent one, and that contact between Moria and the other Dwarvish kingdoms had been lost for some time. Gimli is shocked to find his kin slaughtered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 No. It was far too obvious. Like..... I wonder if the EE will add more Legolas/Tranduil stuff. Right now the friction between them seems nonexistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,370 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 It opened November 16th 2001. I remember it well. I saw it a night early free because I worked at a movie theater at the time, and even got to invite my GF to the employee screening.Was great to hear that big John Williams score on the big screen. I knew nothing of the story before seeing it.Read the 4 books that existed at the time shortly after (My GF had read them all already) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 None.They were all so forgettable, especially in this third one.The teary farewell scene with Bilbo was rediculous, so factitious. Among the few other scenes.I only remember that brown eyed one, mostly because of the love affair with Kate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,370 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'm amazed that, considering all the links to LOTR inserted in the Hobbit films, that PJ didn't include the one that was actually in the book, with Balin saying that he considers taking back Moria. EE material, hopefully.Urgh. I hope not. That would nearly be as bad as Tranduil's suggestion to Legolas....Disagree wtih Stefan, agree with BB! The Thranduil/Legolas "go find Aragorn" scene was ridiculous and ham-fisted. A quick comment from Balin about wanting to retake Moria would have been perfectly fine!

Incanus 5,715 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 In honour of these dwarves I'll shamelessly repost my Thirteen Little Dwarves poem:Thirteen Little Dwarves or And Then There Were NoneThirteen little heroic Dwarves did all too greedily delve;One Balrog ate for early lunch and then there were only twelve.Twelve little heroic Dwarves they looked in alarm to heaven,An eagle swooped down and plucked one up and then there were only eleven.Eleven little heroic Dwarves got lost in a dark Mirkwood glen,Spiders caught one in web so thick and then there were only ten.Ten little heroic Dwarves in a panic climbed in a very tall pine,The Orcs arrived and burned the pine down and then there were only nine.Nine little heroic Dwarves at night sat by the old Moria gate,One was snatched by the Watcher's tentacled hand and then there were only eight.Eight little heroic Dwarves were hit in the mountains by a flashing levin,One was incinerated and Stone Giants laughed and then there were only seven.Seven little heroic Dwarves were fooled by the Wood Elven tricks,One got lost in the Mirkwood's eternal gloom and then there were only six.Six little heroic Dwarves at the house of Beorn encountered a giant bee hive,One was stung by a bee of prodigious proportions and then there were only five.Five little heroic Dwarves they waited for ages by the small hidden door,One slipped off the ledge and down the cliff side and then there were only four.Four little heroic Dwarves one night did rest at the Pony in Bree,One was skewered in error by an angry Ringwraith and then there were only three.Three little heroic Dwarves to Trollshaws travelled without a clue,One was caught and eaten by three wicked Trolls and then there were only two.Two little heroic Dwarves found treasure and thought their troubles were done,But Smaug the Golden gobbled one up and there was only one.One little heroicThorin Oakenshield fought ever so bravely and won,But also in this battle he finally died and then there were finally none.
