[QUOTE="Greyson, post: 270044, member: 2616"] I agree with your comments there PD. I wonder how much of the lack of severity was due to it being a dutiful film version of essentially a children's book, whereas the full blown LOTR films were written for an adult audience? I think it might have suffered a bit on that account. I'm also curious if they will stick to the ending the book had where [spoiler=Spoiler]the dwarves and Bilbo basically had nothing to do with the slaying of the dragon, Bilbo just tells a butterfly fairy thing that the dragon has an exposed spot on his chest and it goes off and tells some random guy who goes and shoots it in the chest? In a kids book that kind of thing is fine, but in terms of adult narrative it's absolutely horrible.[/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
