DoS Review

I went midnight on Thursday.

Some parts were done well...

Mirkwood spiders
Design of Wood Elves halls
Barrels sequence
"Feel" of Laketown
Way the Black Arrow was incorporated
Smaug in Imax 3D was amazing

Some stuff was ok, but needed fine tunning or more/ less screen time to be most effective...

Bree
Beorn
High Fells storyline
Rings power over Bilbo
Legolas in the story
Fleshing out Bard

Other stuff was a ridiculous departure from canon that made me ill or a silly addition that was unnecessary or a failed opportunity...

Azog being replaced with Bolg
No character development with Azog/ Bolg
Gandalf going from Mirkwood to Rhurdar to Dol Ghuldar without a travel montage
Tauriel
Thranduils scar?
Bombur as Ramman
Lack or White Council
Love triangle???
Dwarves stay back in Laketown
Thorin giving up on the key so easy
The dwarves fighting Smaug in Erebor
Smaug sensing the ring
Gandalf facing off with Sauron

It was sad to see where PJ took this one and I am worried about TABA.

He should have kept it at 2 movies and cut out all the BS Hollywood fillers.

Happy Birthday Professor

"I am in fact a Hobbit (in all but size.) I like gardens, trees, and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated), but detest French cooking; I like, and even dare to wear in these dull days, ornamental waistcoats. I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very simple sense of humor (which even my appreciative critics find tiresome); I go to bed late and get up late (when possible.) I do not travel much"

Today would have been John Ronald Reuel's 121st birthday, the same number of years into the fourth age that Arwen Undómiel died of a broken heart.
