Then why do we want the theater version. The extended version is an extended version, and the theater version is a theater version. After watching the theater version, I give a score to the extended version that does not currently exist. Maybe this is the behavior of a true fan.
(Furthermore, a thin children’s book made into three parts is still a fragmented version. This is not justified in any case.)
According to this logic, I only really love LOTR, and my love for Hobbit is far less than LOTR. In fact, it is even more difficult to like the Hobbit Trilogy after watching the final song. You call this Decent goodbye? I think it's far away. I'm really sorry LOTR for giving this high score. After watching the movie, there is not much aftertaste except for the deliberate sensationalism. Some things are puzzling:
1. Where is Arkenstone? The last thing he saw was Bard stuffing it into his underwear in front of the dwarves, and then he was never mentioned again. Is it true that Bard is the winner in life?
2. The Baidaohui has already seen everything and knows that Sauron is dormant in the east waiting for a comeback. This is obviously not compatible with the setting of the trilogy (of course we know that adding drama to the Baidaohui is just to add fashion value to the movie, but this behavior is Worthy of encouragement). The marginalized Saruman has already said to leave the little fairy Sauron to me, but afterwards he stayed still and secretly chatted with the enemy in private video, either because of negligence of duty, or the current blackness. What hate does Lao Sa have with you?
3. Is this series really about the adventures of 13 dwarves and Bilbo? Where is the dwarf scene? Where is Bilbo's presence? Isn't this movie called "Thorin, Kili and Kai Hang Jing"?
4. Has WETA been owed wages? I thought I was watching the cutscene CG of the game.
5. "Tauriel, you don't know what love is." "Is this love? Why is it so heartbreaking." "Because it is true love."-Who wrote this ghost line? The elf king gave his subordinates the education of love, and this subordinate dared to open a bow to the king even more willful.
6. Species that appeared inexplicably just want to show the biodiversity of Middle-earth? Sandworms just make a hole and leave? It really hides merit and fame. And where did the goat come from? I saw clearly that the dwarf did not bring goats. You might as well not shoot Beorn just an airborne shot. As for the dragon, it seems to be here only for sightseeing.
6. Facing the army of half-orcs, why don't the elf archers throw arrows collectively but directly charge for close combat? Is your bow a decoration? Because it's fashionable?
7. Why add drama to Alfrid? Who wrote the jokes? Does any audience want to watch this script written by a Transformers screenwriter during the break in the Battle of the Five Armies? Does anyone really laugh? Stand up for me.
8. Everyone beats the strong half-orcs to death and blood flow all over the ground, but Bilbo is holding small rocks and smashing a small piece each, but he can smash them and lose their combat effectiveness?
9. Who did the action design of Legolas against gravity? Who wanted him to do a doodle jump?
10. Is it necessary to let Grandma Gai fall to the ground weakly and then turn into a magical transformation for my own taste or to cater to the taste of some audiences? You must also interact with dried tofu ambiguously, your circle is chaotic.
That's mainly it. I think about the other things that I can say in the past and I won’t mention them.
So, seriously, where should I start.
Overall, this is a movie that is a bit weird and you don't believe it is from PJ and WETA. More than 10 years ago, the same group of people forged the miracle of film history "The Lord of the Rings", but now, what the audience sees are ordinary commercial films made up of CG that "seems" more crude (in fact, lazy and overused). According to the industry level, reluctantly can be regarded as the upper-middle level of commercial films, but considering that it belongs to the LOTR series at any rate, it feels a bit smashed. They obviously have three movies for 10 hours to create characters, but they choose to leave these time for crappy jokes and love scenes, turning 11 dwarves into Thorin and Kili's background boards, and reducing the absolute protagonist of the original book to a dispensable second-rate. Role.
It needs to be emphasized that I am scoring the theatrical version, not the extended version that does not exist now. The main creator did not cram the children's book into the three movies (10 hours), and the rest must be in the extended version-oh my god, when did the extended version become a shield against various flaws in the theater version? Speaking of lengthening, at this time you are thinking, is lengthening necessary? If you give those inexplicable characters less shots, the whole movie will definitely be much more relaxed. For example, what is the significance of the role of the deputy mayor? Except for making jokes that are not funny at all? But who wants to see? Who needs this kind of adjustment to the atmosphere? For example, what is the second romantic link between Kili and Tauriel when they met and said two or three sentences? What the hell is a buttery sentence like "Why does it hurt so much"? Don't even dare to write lines like this in third-rate Internet essays. These inexplicable passages serve as the "comedy" and "love" elements in the assembly line product, but they waste too much precious time for the audience. How difficult is it to give the other dwarves to the other dwarves, and to Bilbo, not to let this movie become "Thorin, Kili, and the Kai Hang Jing"? Not funny jokes + the original heroine forced in is to balance the gender and talk about a distressed relationship-I have no objection to Tauriel, I just regret that this character is used in this way-it makes I am reminded of the movie "Transformers". Yes, one of the shortcomings of this movie is that the trivial sidelines are stuffed into the feature film, and the serious plot or character creation that may exist may be stuffed into the possibly perfect extended version.
Maybe you would say that it is inevitable that there is a comedy + love element in a movie. Shut up, think about LOTR, think about how they deal with comedy and love there. Such a noble work needs a knowing smile rather than a vulgar joke. Gimli leaped at the head of the city to watch the orcs, saying that Legolas can only kill one giant elephant with a single brush, and Merry and Pippin unconsciously sell cute in their adventures-this is the normal comedy element, the battle adjustment we want to see, and it is really exciting Laugh out. And Aragorn and Arwen's mythical love, Eowyn's single-arrow girlish heart for the former-this is the emotional drama that we don't feel abrupt, rather than interracial saying a few words and suddenly falling in love.
They changed "Go and Return" to "Battle of the Five Armies" as if they were sending us a message-this is about a decisive battle-but compared with the battle scenes of the trilogy, this one The Battle of the Five Armies is nothing. The long-awaited battle scene is light and light, and every character wielding weapons looks artificial and does not know what went wrong. The CG traces are so serious that WETA is owed wages (the kind of real person made by 500 Knights in the LOTR era) The effect is gone)-What do you think of when you mention this series of battles? I thought of thunder in the rainy night, the orc army besieging the Valley of the Helm, the knights charged down in the dawn, their swords were shining white; I thought of the white city where the beacon smoke was everywhere, the black clouds pressed the city and the city was about to be destroyed. When the golden scales opened on the sun, the Rohan cavalry blew their horns and galloped Perano. I thought of the inaudible “For Frodo” of the Emperor of the Black Gate. The human warriors are like small islands surrounded by the ocean, but there is nothing at this moment. The fear rushed to countless mortal enemies.
Where are the majestic, fierce, exciting, and relaxed decisive battle scenes we saw in the Twin Towers and Return of the King? After watching the Battle of the Five Armies, what scene do you think is enough to be recorded in the annals of history or can be cut into a certain burning MV? Oh, the elf charge that is extremely illogical? Maybe you would say that the scene of the Battle of the Five Armies was not as good as the life and death battle of good and evil, and it is reasonable to not feel that kind of passion-but the small-scale Weathertop single-brush battle in "The Fellowship of the Ring" also makes goose bumps. In one suit, the emperor alone fights the nine ring spirits. Its coolness and openness are not inferior to the essence of Hobbit’s trilogy. However, the audience’s feelings are real. This battle is credible because it looks Going up is difficult, exciting, and creepy, and worrying about the role. "Battle of the Five Armies" completely left the main battlefield in the second half, disassembled the entire battle, and gave the shots to various solo characters, but the atmosphere was far from expected. The uniform single-player action design was more than practical and insufficient. There is no humming of swords and swords, the sound of blades piercing the flesh, or the dull sound of heavy weapons hitting the target. Instead, they turn around and shake their heads, turn around and shake their heads, and turn around and shake their heads. L'Oreal Paris is easy to let People are aesthetically tired. It may be the problem of martial arts guidance. It is difficult for everyone to feel the killing of life and death. The enemy is fragile and hard. The righteous side actually crushed the deer at the first moment, but the stronger enemy died in Bilbo’s pebble in the next moment. Thorin and Legolas are working hard with the orcs who can be defeated by pebbles. Of course, we didn't expect to jump up and stab the knee with so many new tricks to shoot again and again.
"The Battle of the Five Armies" is so lazy that I'm so sorry for the title. What we want to see is not soft light, CG, fake background. You see the poster is so dark and cool, and the dark clouds are rolling, you really think this battle is so terrifying, the result is just that the orcs erected flags to show the battle situation, and the protagonists kept spinning in circles.
May not be too demanding on movies adapted from children's books?
Maybe the creators are lost between "making a cute children's movie" and "taking the epic sense of LOTR as the orientation", and the final things presented are not what I want to see?
In fact, since 13 dwarves sang "Song of the Lonely Mountain" in the first part, we knew that this was not the original tone of "The Hobbit". And just as we settled our minds and prepared to usher in the follow-up, the deep feeling in the second and third parts was about to fly away, leaving only the extremely entertaining elves action scenes, original love scenes, and more elves. Action drama. In fact, taking a step back, considering Warner’s eagerness to cater to the tastes of the audience, I can accept not funny jokes, love scenes, and elves show off, but these elements can only serve as icing on the cake rather than the main theme in a real movie.
In fact, the first two films still have a lot of highlights. The first one is the most exciting, whether it is the interpretation of the song of the lonely mountain, the journey of New Zealand scenery, the guessing in the dark, or Thorin greets the rival (but failed) alone, it makes people feel that the creators are doing it while fitting the original work. Comes out a favorite adaptation. Real but not lacking in fun. Even in the second part, regardless of being handsome, Bilbo and the dragon's dealings still make people's hearts beat faster, breathtaking, and leave a deafening tail. The long-awaited final song turned out to be a disappointing presentation of a CG battle, with no lines to remember. I don’t know if they have the idea of “no matter what kind of fan you are in”, anyway, as long as you emphasize the last time (Last), contact LOTR more, and use old stalks to evoke memories of God’s work, absolutely not. Will fail.
It's really a lazy goodbye.
So I said, this is really a waste of actors.
(I am in a hurry, do not rule out that I can find highlights after the second brush)
(No, I will not go to the second brush)

Collective slots of friends:
1. Luye It’s actually tired of my father’s thousands of years of spiritual chicken soup and love’s education. This pot of chicken soup is almost
rotten ; 2. The whole movie of Alfrid makes the audience annoyed by dogs, but he actually left with two bags of gold. Yes, Bard watched him go with a smile on his face, three views! In fact, the truth is that Bard is carrying Arkenstone at this time. Well, the rich are in a good mood and it is understandable to treat others.
3. Miss Tao went missing on the battlefield to look for Kili. Don't you want to save your elf colleagues who are still desperate?
4. In the MF movie, Bilbo is played as a pie, which seems to have no fillings. Some friends pointed out that he looked good while grinning when he touched the ring, giving people a feeling of "Oh, this silly × can be so bad";
5. Friends who have never read the original must be very entangled "there are so many in the end." How do you divide the money!" Anyway, you just need to know that they are all living happily;
6. All the friends who are looking forward to the battle of life and death collapsed when they saw Azog drifting past the ice like a sleeping beauty.
7. Many people who scored five stars said it was emotional points. If you really have feelings for China, you are worthy of the trilogy when you score five stars?
8. Most people watched the trilogy movie and were deeply infected before going to the original. So if you haven't watched the trilogy, and now you have finished watching Hobbit, would you like to read the original?
