[The Hobbit]

I agree and I would apply the same, more or less, to the LotR movies at this point. My problem with them is just about the visual style and the way the movies were directed and look, not with the changes from the original book.

Yeah. I feel the same way about many of the decisions in the LOTR movies, and I enjoyed them a lot. It just seemed like the script writers had some weird logic behind why they felt they had to do this or that and it usually had to do with adding suspense or whatever. It's as though they didn't really trust their audience's intelligence or attention span, which... well okay, fair enough if you're making a blockbuster.

Haha, I went into the films expecting little and I just loved the fact that Radagast was in them at all. At large, though, I'll agree that the adaptation choices were less than fortunate. Lindsay Ellis' dissection offered a lot of conceivable explanation for those, almost all of which had little to do with actual storytelling :/

[cakemage]

I don't think I could possibly agree with you more, OP. Like you said, I understand the decision to make a few changes and add a few scenes/characters that weren't in the books, but the way they did it was, for the most part, straight-up awful. It felt like Radagast was just there to be a walking poop joke, and I especially hated the part where he smokes the "pipeweed" and gets high, as seen in the image used in your secret. It was such a cheap, stupid joke that was done to death decades ago. I remember cringing so hard when I saw it in the theater. It was just utterly ridiculous, as was most of the humor in the movie. By the time it was over I decided not to waste my money or time on seeing the rest of the series.

All of this. I was so disappointed in the 'Hobbit' movies.

They generally made some major changes that actually make the characters I LoTR look kind of stupid in hindsight. Like the whole implied "Gandalf and Company more or less recognise Sauron and his attempt to return to power" thing and yet they are completely caught off guard and first have to do a whole lot of research(?) when he actually does stage a comeback some decades later.
