Just got back from the Hobbit. The first thing I thought was has PJ just turned into George Lucas?
Some parts (Smaug) were outstanding, but others (Legolas!?! The stupid love story?) were criminal. Azog as far as I remember was dead before the Hobbit, and his son Bolg was involved in the book, so why didn't they just include Bolg and not bring Azog back to life? The elves are involved in 2 chapters in the book, yet half the movie involved them, and 2 characters that have little or no involvement in the book.
This could have been an incredible movie if 1. It stuck to the original plan of having 2 movies and 2. If PJ didn't invent characters or storylines that have nothing to do with the Hobbit.
