I Still Like Peter Jackson for doing the Hobbit Movies Man, I still think he is a VERY GOOD DIRECTOR IMO Man, he may be doing this for Money but I Think he is Directing these Movies Pretty Well still IMO Man.
Wannabe Lotr. Well that can be correct. But I still get mad on all these guys who gets mad beacause it is more comical and does not have the Lotr feeling. I mean what the heck? Hobbit is not Lotr!
My biggest thing against Hobbit is that Jackson tried to make shortcuts he did not make with Lotr. Almost everything is done with computers in Hobbit whilst for Lotr they built parts of Helms Deep. They dressed people as orcs and made it look good. They built and created all the weapons and clothes for the characters. They even builded a Treebeard robot in natural size I think. And they built a dead oliphaunt. They seemed more dedicated to Lotr. Whilst they took shortcuts with Hobbit.
Legolas is actually logical to have there. Thranduil is his father(do not remember if that is said in the movie). Hobbit was written before Lotr so Tolkien had not create Legolas character then. Otherwise he could had been in the book. Tauriel is there for an obvious reason. Look at the cast: Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Orlando Bloom, Luke Evans... no girls. So they made Tauriel to get a girl into the movie. There is no women at all in the book I think. So that is the reason.
It was not the best of romances... agreed. But in the books Gimli + Galadriel is a bit expanded. Gimli actually goes so far that he threatens to fight Eomer if he does not agree on that she is the most beautiful woman in Middle Earth. And then she asked for a bit of her hair and she gave him some hairlocks. I do not think Gandalf did that
As said Gandalf for example is an OP character in the books.The eagles always arrive and save everyone. But the elves gets complaints.
Well he is right about that the book and the movie differs much. Legolas and Tauriel is not in the book for example. Thranduil is though. Personaly I feel that it is a great movie. The action scenes are well made and character development... is actually not so much in Tolkiens books either. In them we have 13 dwarves. Everyone except Thorin and possibly Kili, Fili and Balin is in the book... just to be there. They hardly get any lines and they are described like once if I recall correctly. They are there to be saved from danger by Bilbo or Gandalf again and again. The fight scene with Smaug for example, which is in the movie only actually shows that the dwarves are able to do something more than getting captured. So I think Jackson did that well enough.
Kili and Tauriel was kind of random but they were not the first to use dwarf+elf thing. That was in Lotr. Gimli falls in love with Galadriel. And the love story was probably something they made to get some character into the dwarves. And that can also bring some character into Legolas who did not seem happy about the romance.
Elves do not save them all the time. Bilbo saves the dwarves from the elves and Thorin actually saves Legolas. But there is much "elf saves the day" moments. In the books there are many "Gandalf saves the day" and "Bilbo saves the day" and "The Eagles are coming!". Why is the elves much worse?
This should be Interesting Man, there is apparently a Jungle Book Movie in the Making and Idris Elba has ben Cast as the Tiger with some First Name and the Last Khan LOL
