Like most - i'm sure - I like them all, but I can't see how to disagree with this.

Solo said:All the best stuff is in FOTR - the prologue, Hobbiton, Lothlorien, the bridge of Khazud Dum, Gandalf's fall, awe inspiring shot of the Argonath, the breaking of the fellowship (which is also the title of Howard Shore's best cue in the entire trilogy). Combined with the fact that it also has most of the character development and character interaction of the movies makes it by far the best film by any metric.

You and me, we agree. Everything you've said is spot on. And I must've listened to that Howard Shore song hundreds of times. So good.Solo said:All the best stuff is in FOTR - the prologue, Hobbiton, Lothlorien, the bridge of Khazud Dum, Gandalf's fall, awe inspiring shot of the Argonath, the breaking of the fellowship (which is also the title of Howard Shore's best cue in the entire trilogy).

FoTR > TTT > RoTK
I love them all nearly equally, but RoTK had too many butchered important book scenes. Eowyn vs Witch King and Gandalf vs Witch King for example. Plus Aragorn vs the Troll at the end was totally not needed.
Maybe Legolas' love interest.WyndhamPrice said:The only totally "made up" character that I has been rumored is Saorise Ronan playing an elf named Itaril. I have no idea what her function will be. Something related to the White Council, maybe?
OuterWorldVoice said:Cast looks good. That bloke who's playing Gollum looks wrong for the part though. And Professor X as a wizard? I'm not buying it.
I haven't read the books. I tried reading them but they were just so boring the only one I could stomach was about halfway through The Hobbit.Wray said:FoTR is the best mainly because it stayed closest to the books. Especially when it comes to dialog in important scenes.
Basically.Solo said:lol
Its the only great film of the three.
He had better speak. The dialogue between Bilbo and Smaug is among the best Tolkien ever wrote.Mashing said:I wonder who will do the voice for Smaug (does he speak?)
Mashing said:I wonder who will do the voice for Smaug (does he speak?) and the part of Tom Bombadil (although he'd be difficult to portray to audiences. Far harder than someone like Galadriel).
Retro said:1. Yes, Smaug speaks. He and Bilbo have a great exchange or two.
2. Unless they're shoehorning him into the film, I don't remember Tom Bombadil making any appearances in the Hobbit. Perhaps you're thinking Beorn (who has already been cast).

Mashing said:Shit... I think that's who I was thinking off. It's been a long time since I read the book.
Yeah, I was 99.9% sure he doesn't appear there... but who knows if Jackson will sneak him into the White Council scenes or something to make up for the fact that he was cut from the LotR movies.agrajag said:No Tom Bombadil in The Hobbit.
DUFFMCWALIN said:Woohoo finally!!! This should be great. Now if they somehow figure out how to split up the Silmarillion to make it into a few movies I would die of happiness.
Probably impossible I know :|

Funny how one song can make me want to get out of bed and watch the whole trilogy back to back.Solo said:There is something so incredible at 1:45 that I can't put into words.

It's been a while since I read the book but I remember there is a battle at the end. It think it happens mostly "off screen" though. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong)params7 said:Will the Hobbit have epic wars like Helms Deeps or Battle for Pelannor Fields? I haven't read the books.

But I won't because it's late. I'm tired.
That's mainly because Bilbo's knocked unconscious during the beginning of the Battle of the Five Armies, I'm absolutely sure that the battle will depicted in the film. I mean who wouldn't want to see Beorn laying havoc to the goblins and warg's.joeyjoejoeshabadoo said:It's been a while since I read the book but I remember there is a battle at the end.

The majority of the novel is about Bilbo adventuring with Dwarfs.

It'll also be the first time we see a dwarf army involved in a battle, which should be a sight to behold.
Yes, I think you're right, but I'll have a look at my copy now to make sure.Advance_Alarm said:wasn't he knocked out during the end? he only has to be told what happens during the endgame of the battle IIRC

Secret_Riddle said:Fellowship is great, but no greater than the other two. Pretty consistent franchise. I think each one might have been progressively better actually, if only by small amounts. Most people you meet like one of the sequels more than Fellowship..I'd say Fellowship is probably the least liked amongst the majority.
