I think this was one of the many mistakes they made with the Hobbit movies. Or at least with the first 30 minutes or so of the first one, I never watched any of it past that lol
Honestly, them singing is possibly the only good thing to come out of those movies. It fits into my Dwarf Fortress songs fairly well.
Between the goofy musical number and the bad acting I just turned it off and never looked back. Oddly enough I really enjoyed the songs in the old Rankin and Bass animated movie lol
Yes, this. See the rothfuss misty mnts link I posted. Soulful shit.
It's like they say: "Where there's a whip there's a way"
In contrast, the early song number is the only part of the Hobbit trilogy that I didn't sleep through.
Home invasion by singing dwarfs was already hilarious in the books. That it's a quality bit of chorus singing in the film just makes it that much better, to me.
The rest of the Hobbit trilogy felt meandering and unfocused to me.
In fairness, I really desperately needed a nap the last couple times I tried to watch them.
