- Latest Review: "Broken (I Live To Let You Shine)" by Kimmy Downing
claire mckay wrote:Yes having seen the second film now I checked the book and was shocked to see how few pages were left to provide for a whole film. Then I read them and realised how epic the five armies battle could be and how Jackson has cleverly added in all the background stuff to explain that better and create characters we'll connect with during it. I can just imagine him looking at that and salivating over how cool that could be and how Tolkien skips over it in a few paragraphs. My daughter read and loved that book but totally misses that three of the dwarves actually die ...that will be an hours worth of drama in the next film!
I am curious to see if he will actually kill off (SPOILLER) Fili Kili and Thorin. They are some of the best characters in the movie. I think they chose the actors to play the brothers for their looks as much as skill, but I think they have become favorites, or it could just be women's favorites.
I was also a little disappointed to realize how much was left out of LOTR and I think the Hobbit in three movies is genious. But then again I am like a little girl who can't wait to go on opening night and see it, so it could just be because I am excited. It is like triple the excitement of a great book and good movie.
As for the book itself, its so beautifully written. Flows and keeps you interested. 212 (my copy) pages is not much when you compare it to other works, but it seems like there is so much hidden within that small number of pages.

But in saying that, nothing is without flaws, and I do generally enjoy the films despite their flaws.

I guess my opinion is that, the creator of the Hobbit movie did an amazing job, and I can't wait to watch the last one.
