Hobbit second viewing reaction

[huinare]

My viewing on opening day was swarming with emotions, happy and otherwise, and analysis.  Seeing it again two days ago, I intended to view it in a less invested way, and with a mind to the fact that it’s better to have stuff added to one book than taken away from three books.  A lot of stuff that bothered me the first time, I tuned out or didn’t

I am tickled beyond measure at your "misgiving." I did not notice that, and kudos to your (young) keen observation.

Re: the Eagles. Likewise, on repeated viewings, I appreciate the beauty of that scene (Eagles flying over the landscape_.

My observational skills are actually fairly abysmal. Yet I'm hung up on details/minutiae in general, which sometimes makes up for that.

I hadn't caught the shadows issue. Great catch!

I agree about the forks and spoons casting at Bilbo's house and the fact that it is a NZ-styled piece makes so much sense. Now I want to see the Titi Torea done with swords...just saying - LOL.

I was never that fond of the eagles, but PJ in this seems to show well the true power inherent in these creatures as well as how they can be a true asset in a battle, not just a convenient plotline.

I want to see it again....*sigh*

I bet Dwalin and Nori could totally do that. Imagine Mr. Baggins' grave concern if they started throwing swords around in his house. =D

(I saw it again on a Sunday afternoon, and it was really cheap...)
