Re: The Hobbit Movies

[(Anonymous)]

I kind of hate them. There were some good points but the bad points ruin the good points for me.

I admit I do love the books but it's not a nostalgia thing for me because I didn't read them until I was in college. And, a good adaption can sell me on any changes to the book (LOTR managed that). But this wasn't a good adaption.

The films were a huge letdown. The only good music was the Misty Mountains theme; otherwise, it was all forgettable. The battle at the end was a mess; it was not engaging the way LOTR battles were. The Dol Guldur stuff was completely pointless and uninteresting (where it should've been awesome). The characterization was god-awful. I also really hate some of the production/character designs, which was one thing I really had to give them props for in the LOTR movies.

Also, the film completely lacked any depth, nuance, or greyness. All complexity was stripped from the characters and the situation in the book. Anything the filmmakers added to the film was really bad, where the parts from the book were the best parts, and the filmmakers added SO MUCH useless crap. And they made SO MANY references to LOTR that you couldn't get away from them. You couldn't let the Hobbit movies stand on their own even if you wanted to, and they definitely don't compare favorably. The worst part is that you can see a decent movie hiding in all of the dreck but it's just drowned in all the stupid stuff they added.
