HOBBIT LOVE

[(Anonymous)]

I LOVE THESE MOVIES TOO AND CAN'T UNDERSTAND ALL THE HATE THEY GET. (yes, I had to shout that).

Seriously, they are fun, beautiful to look at, full of lovely actors and characters and just all around fabulous. What's not to love?

I am also glad that there are three movies rather then one. People keep bitching that it should have been one movies. I don't get this at all. 3 movies = 3 times as much elves, dwarves and beautifu scenery. I'll take all the middle earth I can get my hands on, kthnx.

I was originally on the "how the hell did they stretch The Hobbit into three books?!" bandwagon, but now I'm so glad they did.

Hmm, I'm not exactly on your bandwagon but I'm glad you're enjoying the films. :)

For me, I've never been bothered by the three movies. I'm just surprised that even with three movies, there's still so much from the books that they haven't done. I don't think I'd be quite so unhappy with them if I didn't feel like some of the new stuff was made at the expense of the book-stuff (and if the new stuff had actually been enjoyable to me). I would welcome new stuff if the stuff from the books I wanted to see was there too.

It's been a while since I read the book. Can you remind me what they cut out?

A lot of the stuff in Mirkwood doesn't happen. That felt really abbreviated to me. They've added some of it back into the extended editions but I've spent a year without seeing that, so my view is colored by the theatrical version.

For instance, they added the white stag, Bombur falling into the river, and the greeting with Beorn into the EE.

There's a feast with the Master of Laketown that's implied in the film but never shown. Also, the Feast the Elves had in Mirkwood is missing. I wanted to see more Thranduil, especially the scene where Thorin kept answering that he was starving. I guess what was in the movie was supposed to be that but it wasn't nearly as good. They definitely did cut out the scene where Thranduil meets the other Dwarves.

I understand some of this can't be shown because of movie-medium. However, it's clear they filmed some of this stuff and then cut it for time. That makes me like the new stuff I already didn't like very much even less.

I should reread the book. I really like comparing books and their movie adaptations and I wish I remembered everything that you're talking about so I had a real opinion on it.

I definitely understand feeling resentful that some of this was actually filmed but then cut for time at the expense of non-book stuff that didn't work for you.
