        I kinda liked the throwing the plates and shit around, and the Bilbo song they did, but man did that scene last forever. - groiny Feb 7, 07:55
      - That wasn’t in the original trilogy. (The Star Wars nerd nt.) -- nm - Qale Feb 7, 07:48
  - The Hobbit for me, was way more of a slog than any of the LOTR movies. -- nm - groiny Feb 7, 07:45 2
    - The first one, for sure. The other two I didn't even bother to see, so I can't say for sure. -- nm - Roger More Feb 7, 07:47 1
      - the 2nd and 3rd were better, but it still SEEMED to drag in a lot more places than LOTR. -- nm - groiny Feb 7, 07:48

    - I saw someone describe it as season 7 of an unusually high production value tv show, which, fair. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 07:36
    - If by best in terms of scope you mean bloated beyond recognition, yeah, sure. (NM) - Marlowe Feb 7, 07:00 13
      - This. Half the movie made no sense. It was long and boring. They know half their fans won't say anything bad, so they just did it. -- nm - MDH Feb 7, 07:02 12

        Nope, I just don't like bad movies. Marvel has a few good ones. But most people just blindly agree and think whatever they do is gospel. It isn't. - MDH Feb 7, 07:36 1
        
        I agree that Guardians 2 was weak, and Thor 2 was pretty bad. I don't think anyone gives them a pass. - groiny Feb 7, 07:37
        
        haters gonna hate :) -- nm - Jovian Feb 7, 07:27 3
        
        This hater will love if they make a good movie. It's that simple, it's not religion. The hate is post fact. (NM) - Marlowe Feb 7, 07:29 2
        
        Marvel has become religion and sacred to a lot of people. And to each their own, but I'm going to be objective. -- nm - MDH Feb 7, 07:31 1
        
        Indeed. (NM) - Marlowe Feb 7, 07:59

      - I didn't see it in the theater because of the run time and knowing it would likely make me sleepy. - Krusty Feb 7, 06:51 2
        
        what are you 80? -- nm - groiny Feb 7, 06:52 1
        
        I knew what the film was and that's slow and boring. There was no way I was sitting through three hours of that without falling asleep from boredom. -- nm - Krusty Feb 7, 06:54

    - That's a different argument and one people have had about fashion forever. High fashion houses makes some very odd things and I'm - Krusty Feb 7, 06:40 6
      - Runway stuff is always the extreme, then modified versions change the current silhouettes and colours. It's meant as art, not, like, office wear. -- nm - Andie Feb 7, 06:44 1
        
        True, the craziest outfits are usually remade to be worn but I was thinking more of the lookbook shows I've seen. - Krusty Feb 7, 06:49
      - And Gucci has a young, hot designer that is riding high right now. He's embraced street culture in his last few lines but this was a mistake. - Krusty Feb 7, 06:43 3
        
        This is one of those things where you can point out that diversity matters - Reagen Feb 7, 06:58 2
