Official 'The Hobbit' Thread - - Part 16

Looks like the Hobbit movies are making money, but they're not breaking box office records or anything. In fact, It think Mockingjay probably made more money in five days than the Hobbit in the same window.

A Moria which was smaller in space could still be bigger in ominous tension, particularly when more time is available to it. I think Moria in the book plays out a bit like the alien ship exploration in Alien. The most chilling moment is that sound- like a hammer, but not quite- gently tapping somewhere in the mine...

Agreed 100%. Tho I love Jackson's Moria there is more than one way to skin a cat. A smaller more claustrophobic Moria could work great.

But I think HBO of today could pull off a grand Moria or at least one shot like the Grand Hall shot in FOTR. Just look at GOT.

I don't like the idea of Moria being smaller even if it's just a portion of it. I loved how empty such a once beautiful place felt. Jackson did a great job there.
