The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey OS Thread: OVER 1B WW!

[Fullbuster]

At least, people could name those 6 heroes and tell who was doing what in any which moment...Can't say the same about The Hobbit...Don't need to stuff so many characters if half of them are useless .

In Bulgaria TH became only the sixth film ever to cross 2 million in local currency :)Soon it will pass PC4 (may be not in USD, because the exchange rate was better in 2011) for number five in all-time ranking.

And fleeting.I picture fishnets reading tabloids all day long...

Well your picture is wrong. I work, study, exercise, go outdoors and spend some time at BOF.

[fishstick]

why is this fishnets so desperate to wish ill on the cast of The Hobbit? What have they done to deserve it?

is it my fault that he constantly casts annoying talentless people? No. So there. I said Andy and Karl are excluded.

how are they annoying and talentless?

[htall90]

James Nesbitt is consider a good actor in Britain by most people.

[htall90]

And Ian McKellen is an outstanding actor without a doubt if you can't see that your deluded.

Yeah, let's compare ONE movie, featuring superheroes that have already had solo movies to the FIRST movie of a trilogy, with twice as many main characters, who will have their little moments to shine in the next two movies to come.Ridiculous comments in here.Bombur alone will get a lot more of material in DOS (Mirkwood), and so will the others.It should be reminded that the dwarves have no personality in the book whatsoever, Jackson, Boyens and Walsh have done a great job fleshing them out: Balin, Dwalin, Bofur, even Ori, or Dori get their little moments, and it's just the first movie.Plus, you cannot compare 12 Dwarves that have such similar names that they are easily confused by those who are not super tight with the material, to Thor, Iron Man, Cap America, Hulk, or Hawkeye or Black Widow.Get real people

They have more talent in their fingernails than all your favourites combined.Which is why you spend most of your time in your basement obsessing over their lives and posting bs about them.

They got their most annoying/anecdotical roles in Jackson's gigs, that's for sure. Sometimes it boils down to a waste of talent (Brody and Bell in KK, Weisz and Sarandon in LB, Mortensen is better in Cronenberg's movies and so on) , he makes them look talentless, overacting or bland. Nobody will argue the fact, each one of them were so much better elsewhere in non-Jackson related movies. Edited January 23, 2013 by dashrendar44

This is the first time i've ever heard that. I have seen nothing but praise for the acting in LOTR

[keysersoze123]

I am not a fan of LOTR but its ridiculous to say Avengers had better acting talent. RDJ is charismatic but acting definitely was not its strong point.

[John Marston]

Avengers had great acting too, but this constant push of many people to act as if the LOTR cast is bunch of talentless actors and also get on their backs for not becoming "stars" is ridiculous

[Elessar]

Bullshit. I'm not a fan of Viggo as an actor but as Aragorn he was pretty great. The only role i can stand Bloom in is Legolas. One of McKellen's two Oscar nominations was for his role as Gandalf. He knows how to get a good performance out of an actor.

[TimmyRiggins]

The acting is stellar in LOTR trilogy, saying otherwise is, madness?It's also stellar in The Hobbit AUJ, Armitage is perfect, Stott is great as Balin, so is Nesbitt as Bofur, I love Turner and McGorman as Kili and Fili as well, or Adam Brown as Ori, Hadlow as Dori, McKellen is perfect, Freeman is perfect, Serkis is fantastic, Kircher, Hadlow and Hambleton are great as Tom, Bert and William, the trolls.

[Fullbuster]

The acting is very good in LOTR movies. In The Hobbit? Not really.

[TimmyRiggins]

Okay, give me examples, and I'll tell you how wrong you are.

No, it's my opinion, if you don't like it it's your problem, not mine.

[John Marston]

I thought Martin Freeman was great as Bilbo Baggins and I really liked Armitage as Thorin. All the dwarves were fine, nothing amazing but I wasn't expecting anything amazing from them anyway
