There actually was in Tolkein's mind, it is just contained in a different book. *NM* HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 28/12/2012 02:37:13 PM
There was not an orc nemesis in the books. In the books this happened

1) They stumble onto the the goblins of the misty mountain by taking shelter in a cave. The cave had a false wall and the dwarves were ambushed.
2) The great goblin/goblin king is killed by Gandalf
3) During their escape bilbo falls and finds Gollum
4) They go down the misty mountains, are attacked by wargs, followed by them being attacked by the goblins. The dwarves are rescued by the eagles.
...
Mirkwood, Laketown, and Smaug happen
...
5) Due to the dwarves/Gandalf killing the goblin king and the prospect of riches. Bolg son and heir of Azog (the Orc who started the dwarf/orc wars a 150 years earlier), attacks the combined armies of dwarf, elf, and man. Once the eagles arrive this battle is known as the battle of the five armies.

I wouldn't call it a rash - more like chafing. nossy - 14/12/2012 04:36:42 PM 1213 Views

I liked it. There are some nitpicks, but overall it is enjoyable beetnemesis - 14/12/2012 04:50:28 PM 1128 Views
A bit too silly and special effects driven. TheCrownless - 14/12/2012 11:10:48 PM 1208 Views
Agreed. patternweaver - 23/12/2012 12:32:23 AM 1215 Views
I think two words have killed this movie for me: "orc nemesis" Tom - 15/12/2012 02:00:33 AM 1209 Views
To be fair, it's an orc nemesis from the books. Werthead - 15/12/2012 07:23:16 PM 1214 Views

i mostly agree with you moondog - 08/01/2013 09:34:04 PM 1238 Views
I think any of those changes need to be viewed with the question, "Did it make a better movie?" beetnemesis - 09/01/2013 04:25:32 AM 1110 Views
Radagast? Bunny Sledge? Archrival Azog? The whole goblin cavern scene? It's a massacre alright. *NM* Bergioyn - 11/01/2013 03:07:55 PM 656 Views
