What's sad is that I was super interested to see Legolas in his home. Realistically, there was nowhere Legolas was likely to be -- it would've been weird not to have a nod to him being there. I would've loved to see his relationship with his dad and mom (since I firmly believe she is NOT dead).

Jackson just goes for the cheap, quick drama. There's nothing interesting or clever with what he does. Anything he adds to Tolkien is always really bad. He doesn't seem to have any real understanding of the characters at all. Even giving the argument that movies are different medium, I think he still fails. There are countless ways to make things interesting on film, and Jackson seems to take the laziest route possible. Elves and Dwarves never hated each other to the extent that they do in the films. Legolas' character has been turned completely upside down.

It's very disappointing.

This might be a weird comparison, but I always felt the Elves and Dwarves were kind of like the French and British. They see each other as rivals and kind of sneer at each other in some ways, but there's no legitimate racial HATRED or hate crimes, such as black people in America endure.

There was that time that English village killed that shipwrecked monkey because they believed it was French.

But I get what you mean. Nowadays.

Actually, I'm baffled by the hate the French get from the Americans these days. It's like they've decided to take on the mantle of hating them, like somebody has to. France is thousands of miles away from America. It's weird.

I think the anti-French sentiment mainly got going when France declined to back the Iraq invasion.

I wonder if someone like KnowYourMeme has done a piece on that.

ayrt

Agreed completely about Jackson. I'm not sure there's much of anything that was his own plot that I liked even in LOTR. I did like expanding Arwen as a character, but her role in the third movie just got to the point of making no sense and getting kind of cheesy. But overall, he didn't have to add that much because he already had too much material to work with.

The Hobbit, on the other hand... man, all of his original dialogue is so terrible. It tends to follow the formula of:

Character 1: *says something vague but dramatic*
Character 2: huh?
Character 1: *three word or less response that's even more dramatic, and doesn't really answer character 2's request for elaboration*

Not to mention his subplots. If you even want to call them "plots" because half of them were totally meaningless and unresolved.
