Hate to make you look like an idiot, but when adapting a book to film not all scenes can play out 100% accurately, leeway has to be given in the translation as things written can have much more detail than when watched, yes there were random misc changes to make the scenes better for film purposes, those changes literally had zero effect on anything other than audience experience.



Just because you had to look up the changes in the movie doesn't mean I had to. Unlike you I have actually read The Hobbit, and all of the LotR books.



Seems you weren't able to keep your attention on one thing long enough to read my entire post so I will restate it.

Movie is not terrible because it is not meant to be a stand-alone film, it is 1/3 of the story.

If it was supposed to be stand-alone I would agree it leaves something to be desired, but it isn't and it doesn't.


No insightful reply was given that day.. Only further judgments.

I haven't read the books?
Obvious fanboy trying way too hard man, you went full retard on this.

I didn't like the movie, you liked the movie!
let it be?
Surely you know you're not going to change anyone's opinion with your copy and paste skills?

Lol, those links don't even come close to depicting how much was changed.

Blah, please just stop. You seriously have no common sense and you're either lying about reading the book or you don't remember it. You would not be arguing with me otherwise. I said before it's been years and years since I've read LOTR and I did bitch about some of the changes during the release of those films, why would I bring them up now in a discussion about the Hobbit? How the fuck is that even relevant? The Hobbit was always my favorite and I've read it recently. Not a single damn thing from Smaug plays out the same way it did in the book, it's fucking hilarious how you can say it has less differences.


Copy and Paste skills indeed. Some links said Smaug had less changes, it must be true.
