During that split second of silence that fell before the joke I was thinking "Nah they can't make this THAT silly..." and then they did. It was a bit of a wtf moment for me too.Exactly. There's a time and place for comic relief -that wasn't one of them.
Indeed. You'd expect them to keep at least some level of seriousness. I just hope they won't go too far with comic relief in the next two films.
Yeah I agree. I liked how they kept his appearance a bit of a mystery.I never really considered that... I'm honestly surprised at how much attention the Necromancer received in the movie, considering it was just more of a plot device in the book, foreshadowing Sauron's rise in LOTR. It'll be interesting to see how it develops, anyway.
As for the Necromancer, my only concern with him is that he might take the wind out of Smaug's sails as the main villain. I just hope they'll keep it more as a sideplot and still keep Smaug as the major bad guy they have to beat.
I bet they want to work to a DUN DUN DUN! moment for those not familiar with Tolkien's novels.
To be honest though, I wasn't sure who the Necromancer was either until I looked it up after I watched the film. It feels a bit like I spoiled a major plot twist there.

Fine if you haven't read The Hobbit, but even from the film itself it becomes obvious that it's a prequel to The Lord of the Rings.
Indeed. But I guess there's always a large crowd that doesn't really care all that much about what they're watching.
Well if I remember correctly, he says something like: "Not fair!" but I don't hear him mentioning it's against the rules or that it isn't a riddle. In fact, he even starts trying to guess it.Yes, he complains about it but Bilbo insists, so Gollum doesn't really have a choice.
Yeah okay, but he could've just refused and eat Bilbo :p
I thought this part was adapted well in the movie. Bilbo even does fiddle around with the ring before he asks that question, just as it is described in the book.
Yeah they nicely paid attention to the details. As they should, because it was definitely the major scene of this first part.
By the way, for some reason I always imaged that Gollum was sitting on that island during the scene and didn't actually see Bilbo, but I suppose I misread something in the book.
Yeah I would still like to get my hands on them someday. I believe we do have the films on DVD, but I don't think they contain many extras.DVD. LOL! :P
I have bought the BluRay-Box on the last Amazon "Cyber Monday". It was money well spent, since the additional scenes add so much more value to the movies... the only thing that pisses me off slighty is that there are sometiems different camera angles for the same scenes in both versions. ^^
I can imagine Lord of the Rings would be awesome to watch on Blu-Ray. The thing is that I don't have a Blu-Ray player (yet) because we still have one of those old fashioned TVs with a (relatively) small screen. I don't think I'd notice much difference between DVDs and Blu-Rays on such a TV.
You're talking about Star Wars, right?Of course. Are there any other shitty movies with "Episode I - III" in the title? ^^
No I guess not, but just checkin' :p
