- I loved the cast! Everyone was awesome! Sandra Bullock was amazing. Helena Bohnam Carter cracked me up! I've never seen Cate Blanchett play a role like this before, and she was fabulous.
- There were a lot of similarities with Ocean's Eleven, but this was still its own movie.
- The heist was so much fun to watch. I loved every moment.
- I enjoyed seeing Richard Armitage, but I wish his character wasn't such a coward. He wasn't that attractive to me in this one. I prefer brooding Armitage.
- I liked the action too. The twisters were cool, especially the one with the fire.
- The didn't like the rednecks. I could have done without them. They should have been the first to die.
- Back to Richard Armitage now! There were lots of those brooding looks I love, and then there were a couple smiles too. Those smiles are so rare and treasured!
- I really liked the suit and the blue shirt. That was nice.
- This movie made me happy for the rest of the day! It was a great movie! I know what I want Santa to bring me for Christmas!
My Thoughts: - Not even Richard Armitage could save this movie! - Not even Richard Armitage + Martin Freeman + Benedict Cumberbatch could save this movie!! - Why were the orcs completely CG? Why weren't they guys dressed as orcs? That bugged me! WETA is getting lazy! - The barrel fight was ridiculous!! OMG! The barrel roll with Bombur was too much, and there are no words for the stupid stuff Legolas did. - Legolas's face bugged me. He looks different. What did they do to him? Did they CG some of his face? Something about it bugged me. - The book was completely forgotten. Why!? Why did they stray so far from the book! Tolkien must be rolling in his grave! - I thought Turiel was going to really bug me, but I actually liked her stuff. She was good, except for the infatuation with Kili. What the heck is up with that!? Why were Kili and this elf flirting!? Weird and Wrong! - They leave Kili behind!?!?!?!? WTF! Four dwarfs are left behind when they go to the mountain? - Why was the focus not on Bilbo? The Hobbit is about Bilbo, the hobbit, and the movie took its focus off of him for most of the time! - There were a lot of slow and boring parts. The scenes just didn't want to end! The movie was losing me. - I like how they depicted Beorn, but they screwed up his part. - Gandalf didn't know about the ring or Sauron until Lord of the Rings!! He spends YEARS researching it! Hello!! - Desolation of Smaug? He is still alive. Where was the desolating? - I could forgive a few discrepancies with the first movie, but this was awful! I don't know if I even want to see the next movie. Dave's Thought: - Peter Jackson, try again! Tyson's Thoughts: - The barrel scene was made for 10 year olds. - There is a better way to spend $1.50 - I was confused. - Why was the red headed lady hitting on the dwarf the whole time?
- The movie was good and very well done, but I have mixed feelings.
- I feel like they took a lot more liberties with this one than they did with Lord of the Rings.
- I haven't read The Silmarillion, and I know they added some things from that, so I can't fairly judge a lot of the liberties they took.
- I didn't like the giant rock dudes. They didn't add anything.
- I didn't like how Bilbo was going to leave the company. That was never the case. He complained about the comforts of home, but he never attempted to leave.
- I LOVED the dwarves' songs. They were awesome!
- I loved the dwarves a lot. They were wonderful! Thorin was cast perfectly! He was exactly as I imagined him, very regal and proud.
- I laughed a lot.
- I was entertained the whole way through. Some parts were slower, but I was still entertained.
- It was so much fun to revisit Middle Earth and it's beloved characters.
- I love that they made Gloin look a bit like Gimli!
- Kili and Fili were very fun. I always imagined them looking more similar, but they were awesome!
- My favorite chapter in The Hobbit has always been Riddles in the Dark, and that was a very well done part in the movie. They left out a few riddles though.
