(Clearly, having seen the elf-elf-dwarf love triangle, I should have my head tested.) In battle scenes, though, I have learned to expect an OTT crapfest and mostly just glaze over until we're back to character-driven action again. While we're talking frustrations, I find Legolas the MOST frustrating thing in TH, chiefly because there's so much CGI, but also because he was so badly served by the script - which they just got off of ff.net, I think - but that's because I expected more from them. I must definitely re-read The Hobbit again soon, perhaps to my next class - I have such a good forgettery these days, I can't remember much beyond Biblo KO'd through the whole battle. Even though, it's still probably the most frustrating part about the movie (if you can't tell ) So, really, anything that was just more than what I saw in the theatrical was going to be better. Where the Eagles and Beorn get 5 seconds when they show up. A comically bad Bolg-Legolas fight and a not much better Thorin-Azog fight. How can PJ pass this up!? But, we get Fili and Kili's death which makes me feel absolutely nothing. Bolg's bodyguard is decimating the dwarves and suddenly Beorn arrives, rescues Thorin's body, comes back and crushes Bolg. It's my favorite part in The Hobbit, and I was expecting much more, because it's literally a 'made for Hollywood' moment. Then dismay fell on the Goblins and they fled in all directions. He scattered the bodyguard, and pulled down Bolg himself and crushed him.
Swiftly he returned and his wrath was redoubled, so that nothing could withstand him, and no weapons seemed to bite upon him. Then Beorn stooped and lifted Thorin, who had fallen pierced with spears, and bore him out of the fray. The dwarves were making a stand still about their lords upon a low rounded hill. He fell upon their rear, and broke like a clap of thunder through the ring. The roar of his voice was like drums and guns and he tossed wolves and goblins from his path like straws and feathers. He came alone and in bear's shape and he seemed to have grown almost to giant-size in his wrath. In that last hour Beorn himself had appeared - no one knew how or from where. And the description of what Beorn meant in turning the battle around is a moment that's perfectly made for hollywood (in my opinion):īut even with the Eagles they were still outnumbered. I just liked it because the arrival of the Eagles and Beorn was the significant turning point in the battle and in the theatrical cut they get pretty much no notice. Yes, I agree his look was completely off. That EE extract is pretty cool though - good bear.
I am interested that you liked the Beorn section, since he didn't look at all like I'd imagined him and was such a disappointment that, for me, it ruined my immersion - he was clearly an imposter.
