10 Simple Fixes That Would Have Made The Hobbit Awesome

7. Give Each Dwarf An Identity Of Their Own

Bifur... Bombur... Fili... Kili... Snap... Crackle... Pop... Other than mini-Aragorn could you honestly nail down the names of the rest of the dwarves? Surely it makes sense to employ some degree of character development to facilitate an emotional attachment to the group of individuals all fighting for a common cause, but it was such a half-hearted attempt. They all become nothing more than pawns in the numerous action sequences, to the point where the end scene of Bilbo saying goodbye to his old company at Erebor is left feeling shallow as no one still really knows who they are. Worse of all, they are almost indistinguishable, other than a few vague attempts at dwarf differentiation - they will be remembered as the fat one, Gimli's dad, the elf-loving one and that one bloke from Cold Feet.
