Plot summary[edit]

Why is the plot summary on this page that of the whole trilogy? 66.30.134.255 (talk) 06:24, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

27 Animals Died[edit]

Isn't that worth any mention in the article? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/27-animals-died-during-filming-of-hollywood-blockbuster-the-hobbit-an-unexpected-journey-says-report-8965357.html http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/11/27/the-hobbit-animal-cruelty-filming_n_4349741.html 178.12.107.144 (talk) 15:01, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please see The Hobbit (film series)#Alleged animal abuse.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 16:27, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure that thousands of ants, flies, spiders and possibly several birds sucked in to jet engines died. All in the making of this and any other film... Talk about stating the obvious?81.107.245.123 (talk) 00:09, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

high fantasy ??[edit]

A high fantasy film?? What is that? and do we need another genere?--Ezzex (talk) 21:55, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently this, although it's the first time I have heard of it. I think the lead should just go with common terms i.e. fantasy/thriller/horror etc, so I would advocate dropping the "high". Betty Logan (talk) 22:10, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Besides high fantasy already implies that its adventure related. So there's no need for both.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 22:22, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

60 years. Not 77[edit]

The film is set sixty years before The Lord of the Rings. Not seventy-seven. 5.80.157.57 (talk) 09:00, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why is someone deleting the note in reception that the movie has an 83% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes?[edit]

That is an easily checked and verified fact ( 83% positive audience rating, rated by over 250,00 audience members, as recorded on the Rotten Tomatoes site), and it has been the case form most of the entire 12 years since the film first aired. It is certainly relevant for anyone seeking information about how the film was received by audiences, so why does it keep getting deleted when it's such a highly pertinent detail? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14D:4102:C2D0:51C9:5F3:4A0B:3D8E (talk) 04:18, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
