I think I have bored the pants off all my friends by going on and on about the hobbit so I'm going to consolidate all my thoughts on this new movie into one long rant. 

Firstly and most importantly why the fucking fuck are four of the dwarfs  not at the mountain? they need to be all together the whole books about pulling through hardships as a team! Thorin was prepared for them all to die in mirkwood rather than take a deal but he wouldn't take them all to the mountain? NO. Just no.

secondly why is Kili injured at all. Stick to the story then we wouldn't have to sit through 2 and a half hours of pointless crap! 

thirdly why is Kili in love with an elf? that's wrong on so many levels!

fourthly although I think Thranduil was beautifully played it makes no sense to make such a big deal out of him not caring about anything outside his realm and then send his son to rivendell for something that doesn't really concern him.

fifthly In the mountain Thorin kept telling Bilbo which room to go to and Bilbo instinctively knew where to go?! How does that work?

sixthly if Legolas had been involved in the capture of the dwarfs surely he would have mentioned it to Gimli; his best friend in the world? So although Legolas was one of my favourite characters in the lord of the rings he has sort of been ruined.

lastly although there are a lot of things in this film that anger me very very much there is no denying that the music, CGI  and the majority of acting is superlative.

P.s. I'm sure there's loads of stuff I've forgotten!
