That's not entirely fair... ie: A film shouldn't have the need for you have read the book to make sense.

Are you really asking why facing the last dragon is different to a few goblins with bows (hardly the deadliest sharpshooters)?
I have read the book when I was about 10 but the book is irrelevant when watching the film.
People shouldn't need to have read the book to plug a gaping plot hole that is as obvious as this one.
Yes.

Then it is absolutely pointless me trying to go into further detail.
But then why drop them off on top of the worst possible location a continent away? Surely they should have got them closer?
Though I suppose its a bit of mute point as if they had have done then I woudn't be looking forward to another 2 films.
Appreciated.
Because they haven't dropped them off somewhere (randomly), but brought them to somewhere, the Eagles home (eyries). In the book it was to chat to the chief Eagle etc...
In the book, and undoubtedly the next film, the Eagles will take them close...
ps: I can't quite recall the end of the film. ie: If it's at the eyries in the mountains, or they've missed that, and they've been dropped off near the woods.

Looks like eyries to me and I'd forgot all about talking to the chief eagle. Thanks for the refresher.

It's already shipping from DVDWorldUSA, think it started shipping out last week actually.
This starts in just over an hour for those who have a code and may have forgot.

Good movie but this and lotr feels like an epic tale of walking/hiking with giant wolves thrown in to speed them up.

watched this last night. seriously why are people circle jerking over this film?
It is in no way a decent movie, pacing is awful , characters non-existent - the only good scene is with Golem! wth's that about?!?! Its too long, too drawn out and generally dull.
they need to sort out their CGI aswell, because in a few years time its going to look as gash as anything.
im glad I watched it at home, honestly think I would have just walked out if I caught this at the cinema, and there's 2 more? oh dear.

What's more alien to you? Capital letters or a rational point?
The issue I of course raise with you is what we've seen a number of people guilty of on this thread, an over reaction or knee-jerk. We've seen it before with other successful films such as Titanic or Avatar. It seems some people who don't enjoy these films feel the need - for some reason - to be unreasonably (irrationally) negative.
There's certainly problems with the film, but ultimately its reasonably watchable cinema fair. If you didn't enjoy it, fair enough, get over it and move along... No need to unreasonably rant about it because it was successful and this annoys you. eg: "It is in no way a decent movie."
