Like the ludicrous Chutes-and-Ladders(TM) bit in the first movie, PJ takes implausibility to new levels with the uncovered barrels shooting the rapids. Have you ever canoed or kayaked down a rapids? It is imperative you keep your balance with oars, or else you are arse over teat and drowning. A barrel would be capsized in a matter of seconds. That whole gravity thing.

I will have to wait till tomorrow to dee this since it is beyond the kindle but is this the origin of a new cliche ~ like shooting dwarves in a barrel?

I think the most pressing question is this: where's Bilbo?

He barely appears in this trailer and has no lines.
