Re: The Hobbit Movies

Waaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too many references to the Lord of the Rings. Apart from elaborating on the Necromancer and Dol Guldur stuff that pulled Gandalf away in the Hobbit book (partly because that would've been an actually GOOD way to tie it into LOTR, and because in the book it felt a bit weird for Gandalf to take off in the middle for an offscreen reason), none of it needed to be there at all. But they didn't even do the Dol Guldur part all that well either...

Ugh, yes. +Million

I was so looking forward to Dol Guldur. They could've done ANYTHING there. There's nothing in the books to constrain them. Really, the only thing they should care about is how Dol Guldur ties into the later LOTR films since it really doesn't tie into the Hobbit story.

But they did such a shitty job of it. It was completely thrown away in the movies themselves. Galadriel was on the floor during the battle, WTF. They completely wasted the opportunity to do something interesting with Saruman and the great Christopher Lee. The Nazgul are now introduced here so that it undermines Gandalf's surprise at them AND Sauron in LOTR. And Dol Guldur itself looked like all the other Sauron strongholds in LOTR. There was nothing visually interesting about it. It was just so poorly done. It wasn't even entertaining.
