GIVE DEX THE MAD SPOILERS OF THIS MOVIE; what was it like? how is it in your opinion? what were the best parts in your opinion? Was this ending retarded or damn good? Etc...
 
The best part is how nobody in my group of friends can get their shit together and we keep postponing seeing it by one more day.
 
I was pretty disappointed with it. Was it a good movie? Sure, but IMO it didn't live up to the epic atmosphere of the lord of the rings trilogy.

Let's see here. A mere 13 dwarves, a single Hobbit and a wizard are gonna take back the dwarven stronghold that is infested with thousands of goblins/orcs? (I forget which is which). Yeah, those are REAL good odds, 15 VS thousands.

My biggest problem with the story is that is didn't make sense. I can't say if the book makes any more sense though.
 
Well, I liked it in general. Overall is a nice movie. But there were two things really bothered me during all the film. First, the rythm/pacing of the movie, it starts REALLY slow, but then at some point it starts to rush. There were some scenes where you were thinking: "come on, that's not relevant at all, just move on to something interesting!" Then suddenly lot of events start to happen so quickly that you can't flavor them properly.

They should have shortened some pointless dialogues to extend other scenes

The second thing that disturbed me...may be Im wrong because I didn't read the book... but I had the feeling the film tries too hard to look connected to LOTR trilogy. I don't know, but there are some scenes that look quite out place, because it doesn't really fits THIS story, it looks like they added that to make it sure you relate it with LOTR. But as I say since I didn't read the books I don't know for sure if those scenes were actually on the book or were invented to the film.

Let's see here. A mere 13 dwarves, a single Hobbit and a wizard are gonna take back the dwarven stronghold that is infested with thousands of goblins/orcs? (I forget which is which). Yeah, those are REAL good odds, 15 VS thousands.

They don't want to take back a castle from orcs the orcs are just in their way. Is a dragon the only creature they need to kill to take back their treausre and country. Is 15 vs 1

BTW in LOTRverse goblins and orcs are the same, they just use one name or other depending on the ocassion. They are all "orcs" sometimes uses the word orc sometimes goblins. There are not really any significant difference between goblin and orcs unlike in other settings.
