Once they started having a looney tunes style gag sequence in the barrels going over the waterfall I knew that was it, the hobbit movies were a lost cause. There's nothing really wrong with that sequence. It's overblown, but it fits right in with the fact that (even from the source) The Hobbit is supposed to be more child friendly than TLotR. --- "If you ever feel good about yourself, just look on the Internet." - Ryan Reynolds <cite>ChichiriMuyo posted [p:954984904] in The Hobbit...

The Hobbit has an anecdote about how golf was invented when a goblins head got knocked off into a hole, its supposed to be silly. <cite>FelinFine posted [p:954988122] in The Hobbit...
