Barrels! So wonderful, so rolling, so absolutely perfect. And butterflies! I must admit that I barely remembered the butterfly sequence in the book, but when I saw it I was once again transported.
Agree 100% about Gandalf's enunciation issues. So happy you looked it up for me. Two viewings and I still hadn't understood the words.
Legolas might grow up to be a worth heir to Thranduil after all of this. I am pleased that he is pulled into the battles this early. Lovely bow work by both he and Tauriel. She has more possibilities than I was first willing to grant her, so I guess I won't immediately cringe when I see her on screen.
Smaug - as one who adores dragons, this small view left me rather cold. Of course there's a lot of dragon yet to come....
I vaguely remember The Hunt for Gollum and Born of Hope. For amateur productions with very limited budgets they were both quite good.
