    <p>Hobbit, one of the most disappointing movies I have seen this year.<br><br>
    Added in unnecessary crap (Elf/dwarf love triangle WTF), minimized The Murkwood journey and also. Beorn's character.<br><br>
    Mind you, Smaug was shit hot!</p>

    <p>Pretty much how I found it.  I actually enjoyed the 1st movie more.  The Elf/Dwarf love thing is fu*ken ridiculous.  I also didn't picture Beorn looking like they had in the movie.  He's supposed to be a bear of a man, not some lean Scandinavian.  </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Agree about the dragon.  I never expected it to look that good.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I don't believe Jackson and co should've made these movies.  Would have been better to get new blood on the project I reckon.</p>

    <p>Gimli seemed kinda infatuated with Galadriel in the last series, and unless I'm mistaken, Aragorn hooked up with Arwen, so there's a lot of inter-species perversion going on in Middle Earth.</p>

    <p>Wasn't that actually the plan? Jackson didn't want to compete with his own LOTR legacy, hence the directing initially going to del Toro before constant delays saw him leave?</p>

    <p>It was totally the plan. And without Jackson & Weta, it likely wouldn't have gotten made. When del Toro departed, the entire project was in limbo, and managers of actors would not commit to the project without a director. Jackson accepted the position to ensure the project didn't collapse. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Btw, have you seen the Smaug design artwork that was going to be del Toro's version? </p>

    <p>That's a dragon?!</p>

    I love that artwork. Del Toro and JJ Abrams have really really good and fresh ideas of what monsters can look like. I was disappointed with Jacksons Smaug TBF.

    <p>Special Forces; Diane Kruger and Djimon Hounsou</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Enjoyed this, it would be classed as a foreign film with it needing subtitles for most of the film unless you are fluent in French</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Kruger is a war reporter who gets kidnapped in Pakistan, cue the Special Forces head in to rescue...seemed to be some realistic scenes along with some usual BS ones</p>

    <p>I watched Runner Runner last night. It wasn't very good. Has some Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck in it and a story about an online gambling mogul/crook - I actually like both actors and they weren't the problem with it. The story was just shit. The tension just didn't feel real.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>M4L - no boobies on display but the actress in it was Gemma Arterton who is fairly attractive.</p>

    <p>Gemma Arterton is hot, but has the acting ability of a bench top</p>

    <p>Gemma Arterton is an ugly hot chick. She is on the cusp of being ridiculously hot or potentially dog ugly. She sounds scarily like Rachel Weisz.</p>

    <p>Rachel Weisz got hotter as she got older .... I didn't think much of her until I saw The Constant Gardener, which since this is a movie thread I thought was a disappointing movie but I had just read the book.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Now, M4L, I hope you mean real life naked minutes and not movie minutes, because I'm pretty sure she was naked in Stealing Beauty and I don't want you to lose some fingers. </p>

    Plenty of actresses could see their careers sky rocket by getting nude...I'm looking at you Ms Beckinsale

    <p>A little bit of googling finds that Ms McAdams went topless in a flick called - My Name is Tanino. She is very pale.</p>
