So what you're saying is that instead of the 100 endings LotR had this only had one? I know most of us complained about the number of endings the first trilogy had but what a way to go too far in the opposite.

SPOILERS - idk if you saw the movie :)

well that's how i felt because after the battle there is a "minute of silence" for the dead and then bilbo says goodbye to dwarves and goes back to shire i think it's one ending, there's nothing like 'what happened to the dwarves, thranduil or to bard and the people of lake town', and i would be fine with ending like this but not when you show as so much story involving these characters and then be like 'the book is about bilbo so the ending is about bilbo'

Bilbo cried more for Thorin than Tauriel for Kili, JUST SAYIN'

[bag-in-a-shield]

There is a strange species of goldenrod that grows in the northern ridges, that the goatherds and the Dale ice miners describe as "sturdy-stemmed, hairy of leaf, fiercely yellow with clustering blooms." Nobody knows how these flowers come to be, sprouting between the mossy crags like a renegade proliferation, always in rare concentrated patches at random places of a particular outcrop. It is true that nobody wept where Fíli fell. It is still true now; the young goatherds that climb to where they grow sit laughingly amongst themselves, weaving garlands to pass the time, watching the last sun of fall wash Esgaroth with yellow light.

JUST GOT BACK FROM BOTFA JFC I AM INTERNALLY SCREAMING

[shiredwarf]

I want to ask you only one thing about BOFA: Does Bofur do something in the movie? I've never seen him in the promotional images! :-(

vague spoilers behind the cut

i made a post about the screentime distribution between the dwarves over here (again only vague spoilers). bofur is, i think, besides the durins and balin and dwalin the dwarf with most screentime (which does not mean so much though). he does have lines! he does stuff! (something really great too!) and he’s involved in a lovely scene in erebor :’)

I survived the Hobbit triple feature

... but the cheesiness ... and too often over the top -ness.

So much potential. But some things I just couldn't take seriously. 

Dain Ironfoot said it quite well: Oh come on!
