That's my favorite part in the Hobbit!!! I play golf, and I tell all my friends about Tolkeins description of golf, and then they tell me to shut it... Then again, I can be annoyingly persistant with LOTR facts sometimes....

My favorite weapon has to be Gimli's axe. It just looks b.a. lol. And it's cool how Gimli took it up from Balin's smashed tomb (which was written for the movie's sake, not in the book :p ) Which would have been more meaningful if they actually showed it or told of it in the film
I also like Legolas's original bow. I don't hate the one Galadriel gives him (which had elven hair as the string i believe) But, his old one was cool looking

Like the story of two Scottsmen fighting over a penny, thats how wire was invented.

I like all the weapons because the choice is depends on the how easily and comfortable you use that and looking nice but the work is same of all the weapons to harm anyone

Sting is my favorite.

That's because it was a Spam Post.

I very much like sting. If it came to having my own weapon choice combo, I would have a gladius type short sword in my left hand for jabbing and parrying; in my right hand I would have a falcata type sword as it has the sharp inner curve like a kukri but also has the weight and chopping power of an axe.

[For those who have been into D20 tabletop Rpgs in the past/present, a falcata would be in my mindset 1-6 damage like a short sword but would have a critacal range of a scimitar of 18-20 (due to the curve) but would have the critical damage of x3 like and axe. (due to the chopping power) In order to balance this weapon out I would not allow it to be used to improve armour class by fighting defensivly as it is to unwieldy for parrying.]

Dwarf on a pole. Nothing angrier than a Dwarf in an Orc fight except for a Dwarf tied to the end of a long pole and being waved about in an Orc fight. Give him an axe nothing would get near you.
And if you find yourself in the Mines of Moria you can put a light on him and use him to check in dark recesses. Even with the Balrog you'd at least get the element of surprise when you whip out an angry Dwarf on a pole and wave it at him instead of the expected sword.
Of course getting your Dwarf and attaching him to a pole could be a problem but there's probably skilled Dwarfpolesmiths in Laketown due to the abundance of nearby Dwarves to be mined in the mountain.

I'm not that interested in weapons but my favourites are Eowyn's sword (I just like the design in the movie) and Glamdring (for it has had a long history lasting for thousands of years) because the Elvish swords always look very nice!

Good choices. You are right about the swords being generally quite samey- at least onscreen. Its thanks to the sameness I got away with putting the reforging back to Rivendell in my edits- the sword hilts are so similar nobody who has watched them has noticed the sword changes just before Paths of the Dead- but apart from making my job easier I don't now why they made them all so samey.

I am looking forwards to seeing the new weapons in the film, especially Bards bow. I was not keen on the bow of Legolas, it looked too frail for serious use.

Surely Orcrist and Gimli’s ax.

mmm favourite weapon has to be Glamdring.  PJ didnt make it glow in his films to date... Wonder how he'll handle it in The Hobbit.

Most effective weapons would have to be Grond!  and of course the Oliphant Brigade, which I suppose could be classed as weapons.

I actually like the Grond, used in the battle KFC Pelennor, better.. at least how it's in the movie, I don't know the book's description. Anyway, the fire in Grond's head just looks awesome.

I will, don't worry, but not with my phone (like this)
