I suppose. I just wish that they would pay attention to little things like the laws of physics every now and then.
the CGI in these films sometimes seems way too computer generated.

What exactly was the point of trying to drown Smaug in molten gold? I mean, what? That doesn't make any sense. I thought the dwarves were smarter than that. That part was just stupid. I was extremely confused about that the first time I saw it and then the second time I'm like, "Well maybe it will make more sense now." NOPE. It made less sense. xD
Bilbo- why u no put your Ring on when you're in terrible danger? Isn't it easier to kill spiders and creep around dragons with that Ring on? This didn't actually bug me too much, but it is kind of silly if you think about it.
Also, I love that moment when he finds the picture of Gimli. Oh my word, I wanted to yell at him, "THAT'S YOUR FUTURE BEST FRIEND DUDE!"
What it is, is that moviemakers have an article of faith, that if you say the magic words "It's only a movie," then the laws of physics have no meaning. In particular, heat never spreads through an environment by conduction, radiation or convection. Thus, Frodo and Samwise on Mount Doom could have a million tons of blazing lava scarcely ten feet away from them as it erupted, but the air around them WOULD NOT be superheated and cook them alive. And of course, in movies generally, an explosion can't hurt you if you're jumping up in the air at the instant it goes off.
I don't tolerate violent images very well (they gross me out and make me irritable) so I needed my son and daughter to tell me when to look. What I did see of the film, however, I thought was quite an improvement over Unexpected Journey, in which very little happens storyline-wise other than the troll scene and fighting. Or at least that's what under-impressed me the most from H1.
Yah, it didn't make any sense. If we are to believe he can't control when he becomes a bear, then it might have made some sense, except he wouldn't have been able to keep all those animals; they would run away from him and be terrified of him, and he would eat them. Also, he could not have functioned as a sentry, which he did in the film, keeping the bad guys at bay, because he wouldn't really have had anymore sense of doing sentry work than a real rabid bear would. That was just odd. I would have preferred had they approached him and learned about him as they did in the book. It was kind of charming in the book how dwarfs kept appearing at his door.Vanessa, good to have your comments.
Jax, yes, it was utterly needless to have Beorn be crazy and mindless when in bear shape.
Exactly! I wonder what PJ is thinking? Otherwise I liked Beorn as a giant man who sounded like Dracula and had that weird face. But the wild bear thing doesn't work.Good points from Inkspot. If Beorn is a complete loose cannon, then in his appearance at the coming Battle of Five Armies, he would simply kill ANYONE who was in his path, evil or good.
