    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.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    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.

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

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

    It looks ok. Too much CGI.

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