Forget the gold. Smaug looks terrible. Like a cartoon

...

actually, this is rendered to be 100% accurate, you're just not used to seeing this much molten gold in one place. that's why it might look off to some people.

jesus one moment it looks like you expect it to be then it suddenly turns into early 2000 CGI

I never found what was wrong with this

I think it has more to do with the complete disregard of physics when it comes to the statue melting than it is about the gold's appearance. Also, Smaug's reaction is completely laughable.

that gold is actually pretty kino tbqh

you did something to this. I saw this movie in theaters but I do not remember it looking this bad. Jesus Christ

How is an evil, sentient wyvern supposed to react to a gold statue melting and flooding over him?

this looks like a macaroni and cheese commercial

It's probably the high frame rate version

Not do like three double takes like he couldn't figure out what it was doing before trying to move.

This is the same reaction people have to the scene though

What was the plan here? Was it actually to drown Smaug in gold?

No, that's them reacting to having just paid $18.50 to see this in IMAX 3D.

...

Yes

Someone post the webm of Legolas fighting on the bridge

It was described really well in the book. Film doesn't do it justice desu

...

this is just fucking embarrassing

It's like he's playing Q-bert.

This is the worst one without a doubt. The gold can be put down to poor artistic choice but tapestries falling down with the physics of a 1990's video game is unforgivable. I'd love to see them explain it.

I don't know what you guys are complaining about, the Hobbit looked great

better webm

There was nothing wrong with the Hobbit

Looks normal to me, the gold I mean

At least it's not horses charging directly into spears

I've reed the book ages ago but I don't remember it being there at all. Bilbo sneaks into Smaug's lair, learns his weakness, gets the fuck out and later Bard shoots Smaug. Also Battle of Five Armies sort of happens but it's not really the point.

300 replies starting any (You) I want

Which Skyrim ENB is this? Looks great.

Isn't the whole point of spears to, you know, put them between you and your enemy, not you and your friends?

Okay, to be fair, even in all its shittiness in context this isn't that bad.

The dwarves lined up and the elves were just sitting there. They weren't coordinating at all and I kinda see it as the elves trying to show off

This actually makes sense though. The pikemen and archers were pretty scattered as the orcs weren't expecting an ambush from behind.

It wasn't there. It was basically as you described.

Ever notice how there's no .webms from the first movie?

It's like they actually had something with potential on their hands, but rather than try and improve their mistakes they were like "nah fuck it"

The Hobbit trilogy was good

>This actually makes sense though
No, it doesn't. Have you ever played Total War?

What the fuck. This is the worst fucking offender. Who the fuck thought this was a good fucking idea? God fucking damnit.

Thank god, I'm not completely lost my memory then.

So, what's the context of the scene in the OP, then? How did they melt the statue? Did it hurt Smaug or what?

Jesus fucking Christ. Looks like a cutscene from a 2006 PC game

So this is Gandalf the Gray, one of Maiar, one who fought a Balrog and won. Huh.

...

bringin it arouuuuuuuund town

What VHS tape is this from?

Actually, you know what? This is pure genius on Peter's part. I mean, we all know and love LotR, but what is Hobbit? It's a (very good) book for kids. So he went full slapstick with it, since making a serious fantasy drama based on a children's book would be dumb.

Did the dude with giant titties survive?
>his face before the launch: "Here we go again"

Which is how we'd like to justify it, but all three movies feature a bunch of dark shit and boring plot lines that clearly aren't meant for kids

...

Those green gimps, I mean I understand the significance but it still looks hilarious.

Ah, so it's a case of prequels then? "Here's a cartoon rabbit who farts and messes stuff up, now time for some space politics that make little sense".

...

>Work in the movies, they said, it'll be fun, they said

Realistically how are you supposed to break a line like this assuming no retarded elf jumps?

The Hobbit movies are literally the prequels of this generation

I actually think they might be worse

The prequels were full of bad dialogue, unempathetic characters, and some shitty kid stuff, but they at least had somewhat of a vision and the world building was actually pretty cool. The Hobbit movies are just endless scenes of bad CGI and meaningless or retarded characters, bad decision, and retarded nonsensical garbage. The first movie is the only one with any redeeming qualities.

What's so bad about it exactly? The act itself or the animation?

Sheer force, overwhelm one spot and you have an opening. Height advantage lets you stab over a dwarf shield.

"Breaking phalanxes" illustrates more of the Roman army's flexibility. When the Romans faced phalangite armies, the legions often deployed the velites in front of the enemy with the command to contendite vestra sponte (attack), presumably with their javelins, to cause confusion and panic in the solid blocks of phalanxes. Meanwhile, auxilia archers were deployed on the wings of the legion in front of the cavalry, in order to defend their withdrawal. These archers were ordered to eiaculare flammas, fire incendiary arrows into the enemy. The cohorts then advanced in a wedge formation, supported by the velites' and auxiliaries' fire, and charged into the phalanx at a single point, breaking it, then flanking it with the cavalry to seal the victory. See the Battle of Beneventum for evidence of fire-arrows being used.

I can't read latin

>latin

the romans spoke greek you retard

no they spoke roman

daily reminder that original LOTR had all kinds of stupid shit like this that gets overlooked

hackson has always been a hack

The Latins spoke Roman?

That's not nearly as bad though and they wisely knew to have most of legolas hidden from view

#1) This is not nearly as retarded as all the shit in the Hobbit movies. It shows Elf-like dexterity while still being in the bounds of realism. You could have posted shield.gif or mumakil.gif and had made a better (albeit still wrong) point

#2) This specific instance is actually a completely practical stunt and Orlando Bloom broke his collar bone doing it.

that column that falls in front of the camera genuinely looks like something out of a ps2 game. the bloom reminds me of mgs3

I'm so glad I skipped the third Hobbit movie.

that fucking wilhelm scream

Got a source on that second claim? That's really cool if true.

this is what happens when a bunch of faggy art majors try to make an ebic battle scene for their redditor audience

I assume there was some CGI along with practical though, he obviously does not actually do what is shown, it's fuckin impossible

The shield thing was kind of dumb, to be honest.

Why did they waste this much time in that scene just so Smaug no-sell it inmediatly?

yeah we all played rome total war, tryhard

I actually didn't.

I dont remember this scene, which part is it?

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with this. Whether it's lore rape or not this was actually one of the better sequences of this fucking disaster of a trilogy.

Me? I didn't

No, I distinctly remember turning to my friend during that exact moment like something had gone wrong with the screen. There's some weird choppiness going on that makes you feel dizzy.

its in the extended cut.

>we will never get a comfy hobbit movie with an aesthetic like this

Can I just ask what comfy means on this board? I see it overused here a lot and I'm not sure what it's supposed to mean in this context.

The hobbit films were fine. Youre all just a bunch of critical faggots who cant stop comparing it to lotr
