Oh, finally a discussion about how this movie was just... bad. Not Terrible, but bad. And I even quite liked Tauriel and found Freeman as Bilbo an ok choice, but what about that weird pacing? And all those changes that did nothing new to the story and shoved some weird action scenes into the places where the book had clever dialogs or more quiet moments? What was with that totally awkward love triangle that I didn't think was fleshed out in the least, like what was their motivation for making Tauriel fall in love during... 1 conversation? And then abandoning the chase for the orks when that was allegedly her reason for not heading her kings orders? I didn't hat Tauriel, and I didn't hate the potential of romance and in the beginning it looked like it had potential to become more than the sum of its cliches... but really?! And all the non-existing character arcs, and the endless chase scene and the monologuing dragon and...
I liked the first one better and I really think staying more with the scenes from the book could have helped immensely. Also, none of the jokish moments came as a surprise, like almost nothing in this movie didn't feel cliché to me... Yes it looked pretty but I wish I could have worked out of the theatre during the last hour to spare me the bore.

I thought most of these were flaws with the first movie too. Horrible pacing, unconvincing motivations, monotonous action sequences, failure to flesh out the characters while adding even more.

AYRT

Yeah, they certainly were. But I still thought the first one was a wee bit better at handling those issues, or at least threw in enough cutesy stuff to distract from the boredom of it all. Maybe it also came up for me more in the second film because the fragmentation became more and more visible, what with all the new and old new characters wanting some screen time too.

(That said, I thought the first movie was mediocre, but the second one was just... worse)
