Agreed -- that part annoys me too. Much more than Legolas being in the movie...

Some aspects of the first Hobbit movie were a bit over the top and childish for me but looking back it certainly makes sense considering the Hobbit was far more a childrens book. I actually think the entire 6 movie series will work on many levels once the 2 remaining Hobbit films are finished.

The only MAJOR thing I would change about all of it (so far) is I'd put Tom Bombadil back in the Fellowship.

I'd gladly get rid of Rhosgobel rabbits and some of the other childish things, but he didn't Jar Jar Binks the movie, so on balance i'm ok with it.


I have a friend who really pretty PO'ed about no Tom Bombadil, but to non-readers, it would make no sense and it would've taken too long ot include in the movies, so I understand.

:shrug:

Actually, it's pretty likely Legolas would've been in Thranduil's throne room when he first met the dwarves, etc., though he's not named specifically or anything.

But his being a key character obviously is "out of place", but so what?

As for Azog -- :shrug: There are orcs involved. They decided to take one and make him front and center, though according to canon he was already dead by this point. Meh, I can't really get fussed about it.

I would have loved for them to have had tom Bombadil in, but I completely understand why it wasn't. Given how much PJ got into the LOTR trilogy, I am not sure anyone could ask for anything more.

The Hobbit has had more changes, but PJ is mixing in some other Tolkien things that will never see the screen otherwise. I trust his judgement and look forward to the next two films.

I was glad that they left Tom out, lol. I think I understood why his character was in the book, but just felt unneeded.

Odd, I thought I was giving you credit for your cross-thread humor, not piling on. Don't worry, shan't happen again.

They'll just roll out anything these days, It's nothing like the days of Close Encounters. You punk kids wouldn't know a good movie if you saw one!
