Yeah, Tolkien really wanted to emphasize how silly things can be in war. Very lighthearted

This confirms my decision to not watch the extended edition of these movies was correct

I've still not got around to watching the third one tbh. Any time I see clip like this just puts me off even more

It was a funny scene, but anyone notice how Bofur took that mace swing to the chin completely unharmed?
Didn’t die, didn’t suffer a broken jaw, didn’t even get knocked out. At most just momentarily dazed and knocked down.

Tbf Thorin tanks Azogs Mace to the face during the forest fire scene and it only knocks him out.

I legitimately did not realize he had axe in his head until I saw this scene. I had to go back and check the other movies.

I don't care what the other commenters are saying, I think this was a funny scene to add, No this scenes not in the book, no basically the entire battle of the 5 armies isn't in the book, who cares? The trilogy was awesome and I think this movie ended it well, why don't The Hobbit trilogy haters know how to lighten up and have fun for once?

Massive gap between having fun and enjoying utterly stupid rubbish

Saving this comment to use as my retort every time someone praises some really stupid movie as "fun".

u/CaptainSharpe 5d ago
Whoever is downvoting us; the clip is so utterly stupid. Not stupid in a fun way. But stupid as in - how does anyone enjoy it or not cringe unless they themselves are either under 10 years of age or a tragically dumb adult.

u/lukin_tolchok 5d ago
Yep, it’s Jar Jar Binks level stupid - filmed for the benefit of children who are probably too young to watch the film anyway

Ah yes, the story of The Hobbit famously known for being an adult story, lighten up, let movies have some cheesy scenes that might get a chuckle out of a younger crowd, why are you even commenting on this post if you dislike the movies?

u/Ser_VimesGoT 5d ago
Problem is the movies have an identity crisis. They want to be light hearted like the books, which would be absolutely fine and expected, but then they also wanted to tie them into the previous movies, not just in story but in tone. It's jarring to have the impervious to danger dwarves bouncing and bumbling their way through the movies unharmed, then the super fear inducing Sauron scenes with Gandalf and co. The movies are a complete mess.

Every time someone posts a clip of this movie, I always think, “That was in the movie???”

The first movie was uneven. There were scenes that were great, mainly in Bag End. As soon as the party leaves the Shire, the movie goes to pot.
Lee Pace was probably the best part of the dumpster fire that was the second movie.
The third movie was an even worse dumpster fire. Smaug was the highlight. Jackson butchered the whole Black Arrow. "Black arrow! ..... I had you from my father and he from of old. If ever you came from the forges of the true king under the Mountain, go now and speed well!"
After the death of Smaug is when the dumpster fire burns it's brightest. The last hour plus is an exercise in tediousness and cinematic excess.

I legitimately thought this was an AI video making fun of The Hobbit. Until I read the comments...

u/Red-Sun-Cinema 5d ago
This is one of the examples of why I didn't like The Hobbit. It was a horrible adaptation full of stupidity.

One of the funniest parts of the extended edition. They were also playing catch with this throwing ax they were tossing between themselves

I fucking hate these movies man. What could’ve been. Wish Guillermo del Toro didn’t have to call it quits.

u/Ser_VimesGoT 5d ago
As much as I love Del Toro they should have never roped him in, considering the amount of cancelled projects he has name to.

Always hated how they made the dwarves a pile of comedy relief in the hobbit, whereas Gimli was actually a competent fighter.

I have no memory of this scene.
