meh, had an idea but forgot already. Thought that maybe he was just there doing nothing and running around (he does that a lot) to explain something about Radagast but no, that should be story telling. He´s there waiting to be in the third movie to save the day at the last minute. Meh, like we don`t see that before.

 I remember thinking the same thing. Why did he tell Radagast to meet him god knows where (were they suppose to meet at Dol Guldur or some other random creepy rocky place?), just to tell him vague stuff like 'uuuu, the enemy grows stronger, the shadow blah blah the evil blah blah' and then nothing. Radagast goes on his way, and Gandalf attacks Dol Guldur on his own. *headache*

Gandalf doesn't know its Sauron when he leaves. He and Rad think its an evil human sorcerer calling himself the Necromancer residing in Dol Guldor. When Rad gives Gan the sword he received from there, Gan realizes that its the Witch King of Angmars blade, better know as the Lord of the Nazgul (who Eowyn defeats in RotK). However Gan does not know if the Necromancer stole it from the crypt of the Witch King or if the Witch King has returned. He goes to the Fells and finds that not only is his crypt empty, but the other eight Nazgul as well. Gan goes to Do Guldor to prove that it is Sauron, not so evil human that has taken residence there.

 

You didn't get that from the movie?  Its all there.

One thing I am still scratching my head about is Peter's decision to use a couple Go-Pro shots during the barrel scene. I guess he wanted to add a little realism to the scene but it took me briefly out of the movie, it just looked so out of place.

Still shocked by the negative reaction the movie has received on here.

Al, we love to bash the things we watch around here. It's all in good healthy fun, and because we know the producers are paying special attention to what we say to improve their product. 

It isn't, however, going to prevent any of us from seeing the third movie.

I don`t really like to bash things I watch, I like them to be great. I just think the Hobbit sucks.

And I really couldn't follow the action scenes. That truly and honestly annoyed me.  3D didn't help.  I just did not know what the fuck was going on.

 I'll tell you what was going on. Mostly it was just Legolas jumping and riding a) people's heads and b) horses he produced out of his elven shiny bottom. lightbringer

 They had Gandalf running around clueless to explain all that, you say? Well, huge mistake, because no one can pay attention to that amount of information. But you know your story, that I do believe

Ry, your post was wonderful. Always good for me to get a refresher, loooong time since I read the book. It's not a perfect film, but I enjoyed it Al .

Let me be clear, I think the main issue with the Hobbit is bloat. The FX are great, the actors and so is the music, but it is just too much, an editors scalpel would make wonders and I am not kidding that I would love to see a Fan edit of this that makes the trilogy into a single 2 hour film.

Now realize why I can only waste emotional energy on over-analyzing one show adaptation. Doing it with more would kill me.

Well my little love muffins , just come back from IMAX 3D full freaking Cumberbatch Dragoness and I'm BUZZING!

I LOVED it! Truly, it's over quarter of a century since I read The Hobbit (but I kept remembering the PlayStation game Ha ha )
and I totally got everything Ry was saying about Gandalf..
I loved everything the 3D was amazing, the CGI outstanding , scenery , set, new Elves, old Elves , little puns and jokes and oh my goodness ! THE DRAGON! I do love a good dragon and he was Beautiful ! Only one thought I did have , was his belly not supposed to be jewelI encrusted and one of the jewels were missing ?
Anyway small detail . enjoyed this one more than the first and can't wait for the conclusion.

 I totally noticed that?! What the HELL was that about? One shot is with a 20.000 buck RED epic camera and then the next shot is a 300 GoPro, that was totally random and weird!

During the scene there's a couple shots where Peter used different cameras, they're the sort of cameras used for POV sports shots. My guess is Jackson wanted to add some realism to the scene and show that the actors actually where performing in a river.

Here's what GoPro looks like.

Lol I know Al, I own two of them.

I think it's hilarious where you think he wanted more realism in the same scene where a dwarf bursts through the side of a barrel to become a "robo-armor dwarf". teehee

It's just the theatrical release though not the extended edition, that will probably be out in the fall.

The weirdest thing, Al. When I saw it two days ago on dvd it seemed to be much faster paced than I remembered. I even liked it more.   I am surprised really because I don't remember it being quite so good. Still loved the Elves of the Wood part! And Legolas is still a badass teehee

Random thought: The Elves ears do seem to elongate the longer they live...

When you're in the comfort of your Hobbit hole movies tend to flow a lot faster, well for me at least. I relax and become unaware of time.

TW - What's going to happen with Gandalf? I figured Galadrial will help him escape but then I thought perhaps Bolg might lead Legolas to Dol Guldur.

 It was a worldwide trend on twitter. I thought they were talking about the book battle and then I realized what it was! Just horrible. It would totally qualify for the "I cannot believe they did that" sequence.

Didn't see your question before Al about Gandalf: I think the idea of Galadriel helping Gandalf in times of peril was set up so strong, I 'd find it strange now NOT to happen. So my money is on her helping him. In the books as I remember Gandalf's missing absence was never explained. He just shows up. So I suppose Jackson had a LOT of latitude in regards to his journey.

Way to give away one of the best scenes in any of Tolkien's works. Why not make it "The Battle of Five Armies and then Beorn and the Eagles Come Back and Turn the Tide "?
