@Tama -
Oh continuity? Don't even get me started. Gwen, for one, would have been dead long before any of these events took place. Harry never died like that, although he did somewhat reconcile with Peter as he died. I could seriously go on, but I'll spare the community members. ;) You mentioned LOTR, but you realize that the gratuitous Aragon/Arwen scenes are downright insulting, right? Two very loved characters, Faramir and Eowyn have far more book time (together) and got a hand shake. Where's the friggin love Peter Jackson? |

Each movie is like 3.5 hours long man <,< the books alone were thick as hell lol.But you're right... I honestly agree with you and that's a good call out. I remember when I went with my friend, after the movie we were walkin out... and he looked all confused. His cousin questioned him wonder if he maybe left something behind in the theater and my friend just stops and yells out, "WHAT THE f**k!!! THERE'S SOMETHING MISSING IN THE MOVIE AND I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT!!" I completely missed it, I haven't read the hobbit since back in 1994-1998 (the whole series/collection) |
