Lots of hacking amd slaying. Translating a battle report into moving pictures in my head is a big part of the fun and I could just see the action unfolding like a movie. Isn't it unerving when your killing machine absolutely has no intention of ever winning a fight? I hate when that happens - yet it makes for great scenes in any movie - and especially for Thorin whose job it is to look gloomy and doomridden most of the time.
