Movie Review Thread

to be fair it was a kids movie as the hobbit is a kids book while LotR is more a book aimed at more adult readers. making it like LotR would be untrue to feeling of the book

that said, f**k rabbits. rhadaghast pulled me out of it entirely. i wasn't in it that much to begin with -- the begining was rather uninteresting and then the dwarf dance number with the plates that was absurd and uncalled for. but rhadaghast, while a hermit type who saurumon considered to be a fool, he didn't have a rabbit sleigh. the cgi involved with that was entirely like star wars, which are all kids movies. in fact all the cgi heavy stuff was all kiddie type things: chase sequences. they were drawn out and very silly, all of them, and mostly unnecessary additions to the book that subtracted from the movie

the cgi with gollum though, i thought that was beautifully done. that entire scene with him was great

if jackson were to do a quenta silmarillion: war of the jewels or something, it would be dark and like LotR. hobbit is for kids. i agree with comrade that the tone of it is fine to be a kids movie, but i do think it went to far in the silliness

Note to Peter Jackson: We don't like cutesy sappy stuff. Please remove it from the rest of the trilogy rather than predictably double down on it because your ego knows what the fans like better than they do.

Rule of thumb: If it makes you giggle, don't include it in the movie.
