AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I think you need to reread the statement you just made

Granted most of their movies are okay

The quality of the Hobbit trilogy was about on par (I'd argue better) of that of the Pirates of the Caribean movies.

maybe as a whole bundle

but the pirates trilogy has the advantage of having a good movie in it

Everything the eagles do is canon.

The pirates trilogy isnt great, but its not crap either. t didnt have any source material to disregard too.

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels is hilarious.

I saw it yesterday and I mostly agree. I wouldn't say it was boring but it was definitely full of clichés (like Thorin changing his mind and Bolg getting back from certain death for the 14th time in 10 minutes and the entirety of Legolas, Thauriel and Thranduil's dialogue, but I enjoyed it.
Some of the CGI was very bad though.
I've read the LOTR books but not the Hobbit. Did graboids show up in the book? That was a ridiculous scene (but not as much as Legolas climbing freefalling stones).

The scene at Dol Guldur was really fanficcy and dumb, but my real complaint is that the ending seemed botched. Maybe they didn't want to do like in ROTK and have a 5h30 movie with 7 epilogues but they could have added a couple scenes that show us how things settle after the battle. Maybe I missed it but I think we never see Grima 2.0 after he leaves Dale with his gold-filled bra, and we definitely never see Saruman, Elrond and Galadriel after Gandalf escapes Dol Guldur. What happens to the dwarves and townspeople and everyone other than Bilbo?

Also the last scene with Thranduil and Legolas sounded like spinoff-bait to me and I'm scared. They don't have the rights to anything other than LOTR and The Hobbit, but there's still cheddar to be made off of those, and they had no qualms about wedging the Necromancer into The Hobbit even though it canonically happened centuries earlier, so I think they're going to make some derivative movies to milk the franchise while they can.

Nope. Read the Hobbit btw, it's a very good book and you can get through it in a day, it's written much more lightly than LOTR. In a way it's a better book.


Um, I'm not sure what you're referring to here, since the White Council kicking Sauron out of Dol Guldur happens in the book, it is given as the reason Gandalf couldn't travel with the dwarves any more. Course it's not described at all, and Gandalf didn't go in solo like a retard (really hate that part in the movie). Are you talking about the rise of the Witch King in Angmar? I don't remember the timeframe for that.


That would piss me off a lot, after seeing the last movie my thoughts were "well at least now it's over for good".

So I've been watching Tolkien movies recently, and I've just reached the ending of the third one. People have said the ending drags on a bit. Rather, there are so many endings. Now that I've gotten to this part, yeah, they could've concluded things a lot of times.

Oh yeah, I found the new movie up on youtube!

I just found out that the Japanese girl from Babel and Mako from Pacific Rim were played by the same actress, Rinko Kikuchi.

That's something.

The Ant-Man teaser was solid. I feel bad that I wasted two hours sitting through Agent Carter to watch it; Should've known it'd be on YouTube right afterward. Agent Carter's social commentary was about as subtle as a brick to the face.

I like how they did the Ant sized trailer first, nice way to hype people up. I enjoyed Carter, I lust get bored easy with Prequel Shows, I mean I already know how it ends with her getting bad memory lost and what-not. I feel the same way with Krypton.

I saw Interstellar. Good movie, I'd recommend it. I think it kind of went overboard with my suspension of disbelief towards the end though and the pop flyin' ending kind of left it lacking impact in a way?

I want to see intersteller. I didn't have the time to do that when it was in theaters.

It's well worth your time to see it when you can. Official releases home-view tend to not take long these days.
