Lee Pace, though???
I've never been interested in neither Lord of the Rings nor Star Wars. I'm still not interested in Star Wars. But my friend Kira bought me the trilogy of LotR for Christmas because she thought it was disgraceful that I'd never seen them. I haven't watched them yet, though, because I haven't had the time but I can't wait.
Kira and my other friend Maria made me watch The Hobbit 1 on the 31st and even though I wasn't really paying attention that much, I loved Kíli enough to go see the second one the next day - also they'd promised me Legolas, so I kinda had to, didn't I? Yes, I was that shallow but the first one wasn't really able to hold my attention.
So, we went to watch the second one (it was Kira's 3rd time, what a nerd) and I was SO INTO it. I went to see it with the mentality that 'oooh Kíli is good-looking, aaah Legolas is hot', right, and I left thinking 'oh my GOD that was AMAZING holy hell WOAH'. The story in itself got way more interesting, the effects were great and I just LOVED it and the humour was on point. It was overall an awesome movie.
But I'm not gonna lie. The Hobbit cast, right? Amazingly good-looking, all of them. Especially Thranduil aka Lee Pace was amazing. I went in there thinking 'AHH LEGOLAS' and left thinking 'AAAHH LEGOLAS' DAD' (which is funny because Lee is actually two year older than Orlando, who's playing his son). I still maintain that Kíli is fucking hot, though, even more so when he's dying, as bizarre as that might sound.
Although I could have been without the romantic storyline that was Kíli and Thauriel, I was happy that they maintained her bad-assness. She wasn't the one sighing over or dreaming about him - Kíli was the one going 'do you think she could have loved me' and I found that amazing. Also she saved his life, not the other way around. I really liked that. Not to mention that she didn't give a shit about Legolas' affections towards her; she didn't feel lucky or honoured that an elf of a higher rank that her desired her because she wasn't interested in him. We need more female characters like her. I love her. Love her love her love her.
I really can't wait for the third one. Really really can't.
