"The Hobbit: There And Back Again" To be Renamed "The Battle of the Five Armies"

[tom the eldest]

How many armies would you think will join in the battle?they probably would add anpther forces,just to make thing intense.

[William Cloud Hicklin]

“...if they do come to the books via the films then that is surely good news all round.”
“..these action scenes are nothing new to Jackson’s films or Tolkien’s books...”
“...further use of ‘The Appendices’…"
“...channels the essence of the story…”
“..Jackson is a creative and a massive fan of Tolkien’s works"

Amazing what some people can be conned into believing.....

Hmmm...I am willing to bet it will be five armies. I am prescient, you know.

Actually, six, Beorn is an Army of One!

They ought to call it The Hobbit: Where's the Plot Again?.

With all the hours of interminable chase scenes, I still prefer The Hobbit: Raiders of the Lost Arkenstone.

Apparently it's a big deal that we haven't seen a trailer for this yet.
People's ability to work themselves up in anticipation for trash fed to them by giant faceless corporations who just want their money continues to astonish me - like the slave venerating the master who abducted him and forced him to work because he knows the master might feed him an extra scrap of mouldy bread in the future.
Here's the new poster for which I think TORN has thrown a parade or something:

Sums up virtually everything wrong with the films:
1) No Bilbo even though the massive words 'The Hobbit' are right there.
2) Focus on "cool" action moments.
3) The reliance on Hollywood cliché (here the framing of a character with his back to the audience).
4) No Bilbo! Did I mention this already?
Ugh.

I have to admit, I have been a little surprised myself that there hasn't been a trailer yet. We got one in June of last year.

In a morbid sort of way I am looking forward to making fun of it. Yes, I'm prejudiced but at least I'm willing to admit it.

And I seriously doubt my expectations will be proven wrong.

Let the mocking begin!
