March 6, 201313 yr Out of the Lord of the Rings books, The Hobbit is the thinnest. How can you make a trilogy out of that? I could understand making a trilogies out of the tomes of the LotR books, but not the Hobbit. They seem to be trying to add too much to the story.
March 9, 201313 yr They frakking shortened the LoTR enough that there was a ton of missing stuff in there. I wonder if Terry Brooks is considering making his books into movies. Of course parts of that maybe cut because of one reason or another. But it should be a lot better than LotR.

It wouldn't have been bad at all, but they are changing a lot of what was written to make it longer (and worse, more heroic - the last battle in the movie was SICK with incredible courage and good sword-fighting by a character that is never supposed to have wielded a sword before, save for the previous moments in the movie) and to add content that was not in the book. Radagast inclusion is CRAP.

Radagast inclusion is CRAP. Yeah, I felt the inclusion of a villain was innecessary; the goblin (or was it an orc?) was never the main antagonist and was not actively pursuing them, they just happened to come across the goblin lair. Also, the hug at the ending was... ugh...
March 11, 201313 yr Stoker - Park chan-wook absolutely smashes it. Cinematography, sound design, performances. Script has one or two off-key notes, that's it. I'm not sure I've ever seen such sensuous, erotic cinema sustained for such periods before.
March 20, 201313 yr Hmmmmm... Slight twist to zombies and an advertisement in the "global warming is not our doing, it is a natural process before an ice age so we can burn all the oil we want" campaign. Wouldn't watch it if it won all the oscars.
March 22, 201313 yr Looks like a good movie. I'd be happier if it wasn't set in the ST universe (so unnecessary), but I can live with it, too.
April 10, 201313 yr Looks delicious! Perhaps the story is too similar to District 9, except we are the aliens, too.
