Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
That "Special Edition" will be present No 1 under the Christmas Tree!!!!!! 
And because they had show nearly nothing- there is no "fire" for movie part three. And I will look it AFTER Christmas.
So to say: after watching SE. So you are informed, fellows.

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
Just watched the extended edition of Desolation of Smaug, and have to say that it's much better than the shorter cinema version, and it's nice to see aspects of the original book reintroduced.

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
oh btw in the extended version of the desolation of Smaug, (not received yet... but saw some excerpts) some very important scenes that were missing are now in the movie : such as the dwarves introduction to Beorn... which is one of the big moments of the book, well, it seems it was only missing in the short version..
why such a choice... I wonder.... it's one of the best parts of the book and PJ judges it not worthy enough for the "regular" movie? oO

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
... such as the scene, where Gandalf is meeting Thrain in Dol Guldur. Part of the very first trailer, sawn 2years ago! (saw it on you tube).

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
...Such things are what I was referring to when I said "aspects of the original book reintroduced", but unlike you fellows I didn't want to spoil the surprise for people who haven't seen it yet!

I sincerely hope that there will be as many links to the "The lords of the rings" book in this and in the next movie....

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
well we all know what happens in the book , and I did not want to describe how it is rendered in the movie, I'm sorry if I spoiled you in any way

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
Yeah, I am pretty impressed at how deeply weird many of the decisions made have been (and will be). A lot of the "restraint" and visual creativity shown in the Fellowship of the Ring and the Two Towers has gone out the window. PJ likes his big over the top scenes. It was budget, not taste, restraining him.
The guy has an amazing cast, but they seem sort of drowned out by the visual effects. I have some hope that the "human" story will play a bigger role in the final movie, but I don't have that much hope.

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
The trailer for Hobbit 3 certainly doesn't give much cause to hope for that, I'm afraid.

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
I was quite surprised (I don't know if it is a good or a bad surprise) to see Saruman saying "let me take care of Sauron" in Dol Guldur, with the blazing silhouette of Sauron behind...
I must admit though that the idea of having Sauron being the dark human like pupil in a red blazing aura... which , from afar, looks like a reptilian red eye.... is quite interesting indeed
(I hope I spoil nobody, but this "vision" was already present in the second movie, and as you all know I have always been fascinated with the representation of Sauron in the Tolkien universe)

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
It would be nice to think that what they were aiming for was a feline eye rather than reptilian. The way that Sauron/the Necromancer is portrayed in the confrontation with Gandalf is very impressive overall.

It's big, but I don't think I'd pay that much for a movie collectible.

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE
well you may like the movies or not, this song is very emotional... for the actors maybe more than the spectators it has been quite an adventure since the first movie...

Yes, very emotive. The accompanying imagery was also enough to bring a tear to my grizzled visage.
