The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug support thread.

People of diverse opinion ARE welcome on this site and frequently contribute pro-movie points of view. The difference is that more critical points of view are also proffered in response and so a critical discussion is allowed to take place.

TORN, on the other hand, is a site that is heavily invested in PJ's vision of M-e. Most of the posters are PJ enthusiasts and shout down at those with differing opinions.

I loved the original trilogy movies, they actually got me to read the books.

Then I watched the UJ and if it was the first of two movies it would have been dead perfect But because it was the first of three the pacing seemed way off. I have serious reservations about seeing DoS but I'm probably going to be seeing it Christmas because my mom wants to see it so when me and the wife go over we'll probably go see it with her.

I am one of a few here that give PJ quite a long leash when it comes to the films because knowing the book I know how hard it is to make them work as movies.

All this though amounts to I can't praise a movie I haven't seen but going off what I've seen I'm not overly excited.
