Battle of the Five Armies

<< < (4/5) > >>

Masterpiece:
I hated the SLOW MO FOR DRAMA that the entire movie is based on. God, it gets boring quick.

The story wasn't that good either.

Kugai:
I think if PJ had thought about it, he could have distilled those multiple endings down into one.

Have Sam, perhaps now older, adding in the 'Endings' in The Red Book with Astin doing a Voice-over of what he's writing.  Might have taken five or ten minutes of time at the end, but if he'd done it that way, you wouldn't have had all those confusing multiple endings.

pwhodges:
But the book had multiple endings anyway.  When I finished up my Evangelion fanfic a couple of weeks ago, a reader commented of the penultimate chapter that it was "like a Tolkien ending the way it wrapped up each inner story in turn - but it didn't go on for so long".

Lines:
RotK is entirely made up of endings. That wasn't PJ's fault, that was Tolkien's.

Edguy:
For all his great world building and attention to detail, Tolkien was perhaps not the best at crafting good dramatic arcs.
