Hey it's me! I made another account (my previous one was sanguine-sky).
This is amazing! You captured them with such precision. Truly inspiring :aww: And I agree with you. Overall I liked the movie, but there were things that were a bit rushed and unexplained. But oh well... now I just want the Silmarillion made into movies or even a tv show :eager: it would be awesome!

Oh hey, why did you de-activate your previous account? Was something wrong with it? Sorry I didn't get to answer your reply sooner, I have two big exams next week I'm studying for, so I'm really limiting my time online to an absolute minimum.

Thank you so much, happy to hear you like it! :-) I never read the Silmarillion so I don't know how it would be, but I would totally support a tv show if it featured Lee Pace as Thranduil (does he appear in the book?). Somehow, I'm glad the journey to Middle Earth has ended, at least for the time being. Even if I have enjoyed it very much (I absolutely LOVE LotR!!!), this final movie was disappointing in more than one way. I didn't even really get what the five armies were, I had to ask some people on tumblr. XD So yeah, like you said, rushed and unexplained it really was.

I deactivated my other account, but smart as I am I didn't erase any drawings from it. I just deactivated it so the drawings are still up in every group and all that... Smart me Ashamed I did it for the reasons I explained on my first journal here. It was difficult to do it but I feel like I needed to. 
Oh good luck, hun! Two big exams in the same week is not an easy thing Oh Noes! But can do it! Glomp! 

I'm currently reading it and let me tell you it is a delight! You get to know so much more about Middle-Earth from the very beginning. I haven't reached a part where they speak of Thranduil yet but I think he is mentioned. He is a very ancient elf. I think he was born by the end of the First Age beginnings of the Second, so yeah, he's been around for quite some time.
I get you. I really loved LotR and I kinda liked the 2 movies of The Hobbit, although there were a bit of ridiculous situations in it. I'm not one of those people that say: "This is nothing like the book!". I enjoy both things separately. That's what allows me to enjoy the movies, otherwise I would never like any movies ever in the history of movies. I didn't dislike this movie but I thought they would take it slow and explain a lot more because they could totally do it. They had time do it so I don't get why they rushed things over. The five armies in the book were the Elves, the Lake Town people, the Dwarves, the Orcs and the Goblins (because the company killed their king). So yeah. In the movie the Goblins did not make a last appearance. There were also lots of people angry about the love triangle, which by the way does not appear in the book. My boyfriend was so enraged when I told him that this never happened in the books because both Legolas and Tauriel do not appear in the book. I don't really know what to think about the love triangle and to be honest I believe they just did it to sadden and frustrate people more. Everyone who read the book knew Fili and Kili would die in the end, so yeah... a bit pointless that love triangle.
