Thoughts on Hellboy 2 and The Hobbit (spoiler free)

[andrewducker]

I am very happy that Guillermo Del Toro is directing The Hobbit.  His direction, art and cinematography are astounding and gorgeous.

I am equally happy that he is not writing the plot or the dialogue for it.  Because he does not seem to have grasped that a bunch of scenes is not the same thing as a movie, nor that trite and cliched dialogie is a bad thing.

Me too, but I think the LotR elves were a bit washed out. I mean, they were all "Yeah, we've seen it all and srsly, cannot be fucked anymore. Off to the West!"
