Quote:I enjoyed this movie (being warned beforehand about all the changes), but I think the dwarves are far too 'human' in apearancce. Gimli was a good one in LOTR, I fear most dwarves in TH are made too 'beautiful' to appeal to the movie-going masses. :-(Being faithful to the descriptions in the book would mean the dwarfs would look like garden gnomes! The beard sizes were generally consistent - Thorin's should really be larger/the largest but that would not exude authority to a modern audience.
