While I disagree with Viggo at some specific points, I loved his straight-forwardness in there.
Still, I do not dislike any of the films.
I like The Hobbit films as well. But not as an adaptation. Rather a re-telling.
The second film especially was a fantastic fantasy film on its own.
(if only they were not riddled by a love story and a videogame villain <sigh>).
I feel the main themes of the book are preserved - so far.
As long as Bilbo continues to be the central partin BOFA, Thorin's death is done well and Smaug dies before BOFA it'll be allright for me.
