But, from a comic point of view, it was pretty funny

That changes absolutely nothing to this situation.
[quote user_id="5274005" avatar="https://assets-cloud.enjin.com/users/5274005/avatar/medium.1409176704.jpeg" name="CptBlockbeard"]The only thing I don't like about the new Hobbit trilogy is the excessive use of CGI and generally stupid action sequences. The fight in Goblin Town was completely fine in my opinion, but the barrel scene in The Desolation of Smaug made me facepalm for hours - it was horribly improbable and comical in such a way that it was almost impossible to watch. Hopefully this film's battle scenes will be better![/quote]
I think it's good they add some comic sense to it. I still laugh every time I see the Bombur Barrel Bouncing scene, and all the other jokes they make with Bombur.
A good movie isn't just serious, there are also jokes in it, even though this one coud've been a bit less realistic.
I found the Goblin Town a good battle scene, but some stuff was just not physically possible and unrealistic. (For example, the various falls they could never had survived). But then again, I loved the - "Well that could've been worse" *GOBLIN KING SMASHED ALL* "You've got to be joking" - part, that was just great.
I think the comic sense is a way to show dwarves off, as dwarves are known to be good warriors, but also good company as in partying a lot, laughing together and eating and drinking a lot.

I also enjoyed the comical sense with Bombur, but other things in that scene such as conveniently grabbing axes from Orcs to conveniently chop down a fallen tree, or shooting an arrow out of the air in mid-flight instead of shooting the archer, is just plain silly.
I think this video, sums it up best:

Don't you think -spoiler- are going to die since that's how it was in the book, and it will still have the dramatic effect needed for this movie (it was pretty sad in the book for me).
It may have been improbable but aybe if you can actually get BY THAT it's amazing. As for the "convenience", I don't hear you complaining about lotr for having Legolas doing everything conveniently every time he moves. SURFING?

Legolas is a badass elf, he has an excuse to be awesome.
Whilst the overweight, stumpy-legged dwarves.. don't.

"Shooting an arrow out of the air in mid-flight instead of shooting the archer"
Done by Tauriel, an elf just as badass as Legolas.
I don't think the tree chopping was too bad, they could had done so with swords as well.

1. So? Did anyone give a shit when Whiterun Guard referenced Morrowind? ("Let me guess, someone stole your sweet roll?")
2. There are so many scenarios here ranging from they're idiots to maybe they weren't supposed to kill him but thought why not he's just one Dwarf I won't even list them all.
3. Yes he had to introduce himself.
4. You jack-ass, he put the freaking idea into his head in the BOOK.
5. I found it quite interesting and a good way to ease into the film, but hey you can have your own opinion.
6. They don't freaking serve him, and if you care about it that much go complain to Christopher Tolkien.
7. So that we get tense, idjit.
8. Gandalf knows magic, but not magic. He can't just kill someone or blast open a door without being exhausted.
9. Yeah bit of an idiot move tbh.
10. No really I never did get why they added Bolg, must have been because they wanted Legolas to have some action.
11. That's a rhetorical question and you basically made a funny comment, not pointed out what was wrong with it.
12. Maybe he doesn't want to talk about it, jack-ass.
13. Yes, quite a few, shall I list them off? Lorien, Eryn Vorn, the forests of Lindon, the forests of Numeriador, Fanghorn Forest, the Druedain Forest, all of the forests that were in Beleriand, the jungles of Far Harad, the forest of Rhun, Chetwood, Trollshaws, Scary, shall I go on or do you feel like enough of an idiot?
14. Maybe because Gandalf is there and maybe he's actually got some MANNERS.
15. Woah Middle Earth uses English too? Why don't they say it all in some weird mannish dialect we can't understand you nit-picking jerk.
16. Every Hobbit film and the book too takes a breather by describing the forest.
17. True..... wow, true actually....
18. It's called a pantry...
19. One stayed behind, and it's because they all wanted a piece of the meat that was to be had. God.
20. Well, you see, my friend, a giant spider weighs a lot more than a Dwarf, and as for the webs, this is what we call a spiders' den.
21. You're right the ring really wanted to stay in a spiders' den because a spider could totally increase its ambitions. It thought "Oh another weak Hobbit. This time I'll do it right." And it's called fate, which is a legit thing in this universe.
22. OMG YES THANK YOU I LOVE YOU SCREW LEGOLAS.
23. Aww waa waaa waaa go cry to your mom.
24. What you mean a) Glamdring b) Orcrist c) Sting? Yeah....
25. Hell yeah.
26. First yeah but FAKE GINGER DIE and second true.
27. O_O
28. Truth but I liked the suspense moment.
29. Well it was guarded....
30. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
31. Yeah.
32. Take it up with Tolkien, bro.
33. Truth.
34. Yeah but I liked it. Problem?
35. Miscalculation? xD
36. Not really.
37. She is very op.
38. You also gonna complain about knife throwers?
39. You're right, how dare an Orc carry an axe.
40. Different Orcs...
41. IT'S COOL.
42. You're right that barrel should have floated upstream instead.
43. THIS IS SO TRUE. THANK YOU.
44. Bow. Bow.. BOW.
45. About 5. Problem?
46. He just wanted to concern them.....
47. What?
48. Dwarves are greedy. They've learned some sh*t.
49. I like this conflict, shove it up your butt. But yeah the fish thing was dumb.
50. LAWL
51. Ikr.
52. Directions, idjit.
53. Yes thy do, what do you think they would do, it's the Middle Ages.
54. Ouch.
55. Yeah b*tch problem?
56. Well you see they didn't think 8 or so people would come up and jump in.
57. Yeah....
58. Not something wrong with the movie. But true, I'd like to know what the master's family was doing. Probably hiding.
59. The prophecy has been LOST TO TIME.
60. Omg ikr.
61. Truth.
62. Nu.
63. I WUV U WABBITZ.
64. *sigh* ik... ik....
65. Yeah.
66. Hibernation.
67. Lil bit yeah.
68. Ikr.
69. Not something wrong.
70. So do all villains, what you want him to die?
71. I KNOW. WHY. WHY.
72. It fell.

74. I KNOWWWWWWWWW
75. Lol.
76. Pretty much yeah.
78. Yeah.
79. It's a general scent.
80. Does it matter who he kills?
81. Mine. Mine. MINE.
82. Wounds.. but yeah.
83. It's a chain, dumbass.
84. I know... I know...
85. Ikr.
86. LOL.
87. Lol.
88. Lawl let him.
89. Yeah it is.
90. LOL.
91. Dwarven craftsmenship.
92. You obviously know nothing of metal, idiot.
93. It took about 30 seconds.
94. FIRE. FIRE. FIRE.
95. It's called wealth.
96. HOW IS THERE SO MUCH GOLD.
97. Furnace in his belly, but yeah it would be bad.
99. He wanted to hurt them mentally.
100. That's how movies f*cking work.
Can't read this all..
Hue hue hue.
I've got to agree that like 75% of those CinemaSins Sins could be overthrown with facts. (facts not being "it was in the books" cause that doesn't make it good.)
I agree that there are flaws, but it should in no way be seen as less good as LOTR.

So you expect them to build a real lonely mountain and a real Goblin Town?
Azog was huge, had an iron arm/hook and many scars, he would never had worked as non-CGI.[/quote]
1) That wasn't what I meant! The LOTR Movies (older) have a realistic CGI than these.
2) They could (a) Not put Azog (b) Make him look more realistic and not like an action figure. It looked like a plastic puppet!
Not more realistic, mate.
And if they did that there would be no main antagonist and the movie would suck. But yeah he did look slightly creepy.
And Tibbles, that is a good reason, because these guy would never openly argue with J.R.R. Tolkien.

Thu, that a movie is 100% like the book doesn't mean it's completely flawless, so you cannot use that as an argument to say a flaw isn't a flaw.

I didn't, I'm just wondering why these guys would nitpick about "problems" that were in the book just to bring up their things-that-are-wrong count when I doubt they cared when or if they read the book.
