AYRT

I agree about the weeks/months thing. That was something I noticed too. It seemed like they were in Mirkwood for only a day (we never saw a dark night) so it seemed like they got lost right away, which seemed a little silly. But I have *mostly* come to accept that movie distance/time is different than the books and ignore those issues.

I looked up my review of the movie and in it I said that the scene in the dungeons between the elf and dwarf should've ended when she gave the stone back. I agree that if they are going to do a love story (or whatever), it does need some time to happen. But I felt that what needed to be accomplished in that scene with regards to their connection had been accomplished at that point and everything after that made the scene drag and didn't add anything useful.

In the book, the dragon does attack them on the mountain side. That's what I expected and would've liked to see. I do sort of like that the dwarves have a chance to face off against the dragon. I think from a movie perspective, you'd kind of need that. But I wish the mechanics of it had been more believable to me. And I agree that the conversation between Bilbo and the dragon was far more compelling than the action sequence at the end.

I also liked more than disliked the film, but you probably can't tell. ;)
