From what bethje told me after we saw the movie last night, she would have preferred to have seen something like that over what we actually got.
Me too! Although I loved the movie in spite of that. I actually read somewhere that people who saw it in 3D thought it dragged in the beginning and picked up later, and people who saw it in 2D loved the beginning and thought it dragged later. Guess action works better for 3D. But like I said, I always tend to tune out action scenes anyway, so I don't let them steal my enjoyment of the rest of the movie. And I feel sorry for the people who saw it in 3D if they weren't delighted by the Bag End scenes! The movie was truly best in its character-heavy scenes rather than the action-- though the scenery was stunning, too. I really wish people who'd review it wouldn't dwell so much on the negatives and skip over the positives. I don't feel the positives are getting enough attention. Though I suppose the world figures that "hype" IS enough attention.
