  1. I came back home from the cinema. The Hobbit 3 was entertaining but the shaky-cam-driven and confusingly cut action scenes made the viewing experience somewhat jarring. I didn't know how to make Legolas seem more like a super hero but this film topped all previous Hobbit and LOTR films combined in this regard. All I say is "Yor's World".

    1. @broniebrown i didnt like how unnimportant smaug was, and that thing bad made to shoot the black arrrow should have ripped off his son's face

      1. @mushi I expected that there wouldn't be much of Smaug in the movie but I wished it would be an awesome fight that lasted a few more minutes. Instead we had a stare fight. But I agree that the son of the fisherman should be injured by the shooting of the arrow. #

        1. @broniebrown # yeah, there isnt much point in questioning movies movies logic, but that scene did bother me

    2. @broniebrown It's funny because Legolas wasn't particularly relevant in the book as far as I remember

      1. @nerthos Honestly. I didn't mind seeing Legolas in the Hobbit movie. His scenes are far too entertaining and ridiculous not to like (even in a bad way). I read the book over a decade ago.

      2. @nerthos He wasn't even in the original book IIRC

        1. @northernnarwhal He may have been mentioned at some point, but he didn't have a big role. I'm not completely sure if he showed up since it has been almost a decade since I read it.

          1. @nerthos I know the Dwarves do go to Mirkwood and meet the Wood Elf king in the orignal text but I don't think Legolas is mentioned at all.
