shoutsindwarvish:

“the younger dwarves”

you mean fili and kili

they wanted to be friends with the elves

they even spoke about it in front of thorin (under their breaths but obviously not out of earshot)

they wanted this quest to end with peace and harmony in the land just like the erebor they heard about in stories growing up

and they could have seen it happen

after the battle of the five armies everyone banded together and the alliances were remade again

they could have sat with elves and men around a fire and sang songs with them and finally come home

  • I liked it a lot but DAMN it could have been a bit shorter. The poor woman next to me had to get up about three times. I think there was quite a lot that could have been cut really- like the dwarves singing about plates, I’d get rid of that. And I’d have ended it after the escape from Goblin Town and saved the fight with Azog for the next film.
  • That being said, that last fight was a spectacular scene.
  • Riddles In The Dark was done really well. Especially Bilbo sparing Gollum. That’s one of the moments the whole saga pivots around and here it was. Probably my favourite single moment in the film, actually.
  • No wait that’s a lie. It was the Misty Mountains song.
  • SYLVESTER MCCOY as Radagast he was bloody perfect.
  • Deux ex machingles! (I know, there are in-story reasons why the Eagles show up just in time to save everyone and then bugger off again, but…)
  • UNEXPECTED HOT DWARVES
  • If I ever start a band, I want to call it ‘Azog and the Defilers”.

The various Middle-Earth films, to me, are like that old friend who you only see once so often, and then whenever they show up you have a really great time and maybe mildly take the piss out of each other and then they’re gone again for another couple of years. Next Hobbit film isn’t till 2014, right?
