The Hobbit: Well that was 1/3 of a movie

Thorin was very handsome. I was satisfied by his level of handsomeness.

Things I can't believe the internet did not warn me about:
These are basically only costume spoilers, but really, it's The Hobbit. The only spoilers left are costume spoilers. )

Spoilers for anyone who reads the whole review, but I loved this one

"...except that Thorin is handsome. You can’t tell from the promo photos, where they tried to make him look more dwarfly, but the movie knows what it’s doing. And though he is already being played by the chisely-yet-determined Richard Armitage, which would take care of most of your handsomeness needs, the movie doesn’t want you to ever forget how smokin’ the Dwarf Lord is, so it spends all his shots licking his face with light. In the forest? Dappled flicker! Goblin cave full of fire pits? Perfect amber glow! (“It’s a trap! I can’t believe it! I am so handsome about this.”) This comes in handy as a distraction when he’s a rampaging jerk, or when he’s telling Bilbo to get his whiny ass back to the Shire, or refusing to go to the elves for help because elves are the worst and if you are a wizard who brings him to Rivendell for shelter he’s going to be pissed as hell. (“I am so handsome at you right now, Gandalf.”)"

Hah! That review is actually where I developed my expectations for Thorin's handsomeness that the movie was going to have to satisfy.

I just laughed so hard at that review I may have broken something.
