Quote from menace33 : The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey - Well I'll give Peter Jackson one thing, he doesn't do half hearted, half rate, or watered down versions of any adaptations of scripts put to film. The Hobbit was no different than King Kong or the LOTR series. It was big, extravagant, rich, delightful, humorous, serious, and awe-inspiring. Did I forget to mention it was really effin long too? I'm sure this was the slimmed down version of the movie at 2 hours and 49 minutes, but damn it didn't feel like it. Loved the visuals, story, and yeah it had its slow parts but so what? He's telling a story so shut up, crunch popcorn, and enjoy it. I've read several forums state how boring it was in comparison to LOTR and its pacing and I'm wondering what the hell they are talking about or what movie they saw. The Orc chase, the escape from Goblinville, the flashbacks of the Dwarf demise, and of course the present day Dwarfs themselves make this well worth watching. I refuse to buy it on Blu-ray though until he comes out with all 3 Hobbit movies in extended platinum style. But that's a review for another day.

I've never seen you post on here, and it's likely the reverse its true as well, but after reading your assessment of this movie one fact has become glaringly, painfully true - we are at opposite sides of the spectrum and if I could, figuratively speaking of course, silently fire a bullet through the back of your neck and end you with no risk of reprisal I would do so a thousand times over.

Let me be frank - YOU are the problem.

YOU are the reason production companies, studio houses and directors feel they can squirt out whatever runny puddle of dogshit they like with impunity because THEY CAN since YOU are always there to pick up the tab and throw them a buck regardless. YOU are responsible for every Will Smith movie, The Hangover 2, 2012, Donnie Darko, Ocean's 19, Return of the Jedi, Be Cool, Four Brothers, Scream 1-5, Prometheus, Die Hard 3, Live Free or Die Hard, A Good Day to Die Hard, Die Hard To Handle, Die Hard v. Space 2: The Glistening, The Expendables, Cars, The Pianist, and a thousand other dribbly plops of "cinema." Well, perhaps you weren't the catalyst for that last example but sure as shit YOU ARE THE TARGET AUDIENCE FOR JAR JAR BINKS.

Yes. YOU did that.

Thanks. I'll see you in Hell. From my vantage point in Black Heaven. And I'll be sure to catch any small tears of compassion that might escape my eyes lest they fall upon you and ease the burning of your soul for even the briefest moment.
