[Aulayna]

Oh wow. Looking forward to this!

[Freya]

HOLY MOLY I WANTS.

[Pike]

Was that Legolas or do all elves just look the same?

[charliepanayi]

Legolas is in it, yeah. Orlando Bloom needs to pay the rent after all.

[Skyblade]

Was that Legolas or do all elves just look the same?

Thraduil, king of the Elves of Mirkwood, is Legolas's father, and a fairly important character in this story. And since there is a chapter or so that takes place in his grounds and with his people, it's really not much of a stretch to have Legolas there.

[Bolivar]

Man I'm real excited, the first one was so magical to me, I really loved every minute of it smiling all retarded in the theater.

I do sympathize with people who don't like who they've actionized the stories, with them fighting goblins during the barrel scene now!!! I don't care though, should be tight.

Also them showing Smaug's head whereas you never got a clear full shot of him in the first film... oh well, that's ok.

[Chris]

I honestly didn't think that they would show Smaug so early on. I thought they would've waited until right before the release.

[charliepanayi]

They'll probably hold off on having him speak until late on in the marketing campaign.

[Del Murder]

It looks ok. Too much CGI.

[Cuchulainn]

It looks ok. Too much CGI.

A real dragon costs too much.

[Slothy]

The dragon wasn't the problem, so much as shitty looking CGI elves.

[Cuchulainn]

The dragon wasn't the problem, so much as troutty looking CGI elves.

They had a problem with real elves too. Something about possible Union strikes if they didn't get free lembas.
