Lord of the Rings the Two Towers, I've seen the last hour or so a billion times, but finally got to see the whole thing. Very little Frodo and Sam in the movie, which I'm fine with, didn't read the book (but I plan to) so I don't know how much time Arwen got in the books, but I would have loved an extra ten minutes in the movie. But considering how it was done I'm sort of happy they left her out to give Eowyn a bit of screen time. And yes I know I sound like I have no idea what I'm talking about, sorry I don't read anything besides comics and reviews :wink:

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. It was definitely better than the first. I wasn't bored at all (sans for Gandalf's little side story, but even that was brief) during the film. Among other small flaws, there was a ton of CGI that looked a bit fake to me. Still, it's a low A. :classic:

Saw Desolation of Smaug twice and it was god awful both times. I almost started crying. Terrible, terrible adaptation. The only thing I enjoyed was the spiders talking and smaug. Other than that, almost nothing.

From what I can recall, Arwen wasn't mentioned once in the book (The Two Towers).

Saw Desolation of Smaug as well. I was very entertained beginning to end, but I think I liked the first one better. Some of the water related CGI was bad. It just looked like a white blob moving around. And they took a lot of liberties with the story, but some of it really did flesh out the story. And parts were REALLY condensed. Like the time in Mirkwood was WAY shorter than in the book. Overall, very entertaining.

And the dragon was fantastic.

Time restraints are a given in book to movie adaptations. It is a bit unfortunate in some cases, but if they spent more adequate time, we'd probably be 6 movies in by the end of it all.

I just got back from The Hobbit as well. I loved it. I liked the addition of Tauriel(gotta feel bad for Legolas...losing out to a dwarf :tongue:). I liked the fight scenes with the Elves the most. Smaug looked & sounded fantastic. :thumbup:

Theater: Frozen. It was okay. The redeeming part was the snowman. Plus I love castle related stuff, so was trying to get some good MOC ideas. I think my daughter liked it okay though.

DVD: Man of Steel. I finally watched this. I actually really liked it. Much better than the previous reboot. I liked Faora :wub: . Way more of a bad megablocks than Zod. So naturally I had to buy all of the figures. I was surprised at the inclusion of Tor-An as a minifigure since I don't even remember him in the movie.

Saw Frozen and loved it! Wish there were a couple more songs in it though. Especially one toward the end would've been nice. It was a very charming movie though!

I haven't seen The Desolation Smaug, but Tauriel does look interesting. Definitely makes me want to buy the Mirkwood spiders set.

Thanks, so now I'm feeling better about the Two Towers. It was such a good movie, the lack of Arwen initially bugged me. I've always loved her character, and now that I know that they elaborated on her character rather than diminishing her overall appearance, I have to say I can't find a thing wrong with it.

I'm not surprised they made a minifig for him, I'm just surprised he got a name. I'd expect him to be "Kryptonan soldier" since his name was probably only mentioned once in the movie. But he was that 6 foot tall Kryptonian who fought Superman along with Faora (who is so badass, god I love her) in Smallville.

Oh and, saw about 5 minutes worth of Batman begins today, before deciding to log onto a certain Lego website.

Saw Desolation of Smaug last week

Enjoyed it, but want to see it again to soak it all in, going to wait til the bluray / dvd though, cinema experience was slightly ruined by having a few loud idiots sitting by us :sceptic:

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - Superb and enjoyable! A deserving blockbuster movie and amazing sequel.

Frozen - Totally enjoyed the story and music very much.
