You could probably make a decent single film by going at the trilogy with a hatchet. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 14/03/2017 02:14:10 AM

Tauriel is the first casualty, of course. I'd keep a great deal of the first film (the only decent one) and cut out all of the orcs. I'd take out the Super Evil Orc who is so boring I already forgot his name. The White Council bits of Desolation of Smaug can stay, as can Bilbo talking to Smauglock Holmes. I'm tempted to keep in a little bit of the gang being captured by the elves, because Thranduil being a victim of dragonfire, while non-canonical, is a relatively decent explanation of why he is such a raging asshole.

The barrel scene is out.

I'd keep maybe ten minutes of Battle of the Five Armies. I had never left a movie theater angry before watching that film; it is, to date, the first film that has been so bad as to actively upset me.

In fairness, the LotR movies already had many of the things that people dislike in The Hobbit. Legolas - 14/03/2017 07:01:41 PM 608 Views
