The Hobbit Movie Thread™
« on: December 17, 2012, 12:25:26 am »
I'm not going to get into a lengthy review of the movie since I've got pretty mixed feelings about the whole affair, but it needs to be said: this is the Dwarfiest Fortressiest moviest movie I've ever seen.  The opener was 10 minutes of dwarfs building the mightiest richest dwarfiest fortress ever, only to have it ruined inexplicably by the catastrophic arrival of Smaug Silver Toes: The Waxing Gibbon of Desecration or whatever his megabeast equivalent name would be.

More importantly, they got the dwarfs entirely right.  The body proportions, the personalities, the drunkenness, the hatred of pussy elves, their fighting prowess; it was just damn cool watching a whole threefuckinghours of dwarfs being dwarfs.  I guess what I'm trying to say is I LOVE DWARFS.  If you love dwarfs, you'll probably enjoy this movie.  If you're easily bothered by the fact that they could've fit the whole story into one movie if Peter Jackson didn't insist on just making up 90 minutes of pointless crap that wasn't in the book, then go watch it anyway FOR THE DWARFS.

Haven't seen the movie yet by the way.

To put it simply, Dwarf Fortress is the Black Metal of video games.

I'm not watching the movie. I already read the book. Twice.
