At their worsts, how do the Hobbit films compare to the Star Wars prequels? Are they even in the same league of badness?

I think the tauriel scenes are way shittier than the Anakin/Padme Naboo scenes
>>
>>63378313
I honestly couldn't believe how shit they were as I was watching them, they make the star wars prequels look great imo. I at least derived some enjoyment out of watching those.
Like I literally can not think of a single thing I liked from any of the Hobbit films. I guess the fact that they ended is the only positive memory in my mind.
>>
>>63378377
This.
>>
>>63378313
Prequels had Clone troopers and cool droid/ship designs.
There is nothing worth saving in The Hobbit.
>>
>>63378313

The SW prequels are worse, I suppose, but the Hobbit movies tainted actual source material.

Then again the SW prequels ended up spreading what changes they brought to the rest of the SW EU.
>>
>>63378377
Smaug was cool. Like Darth Maul in the SW prequels
>>
Bilbo was good, kinda like how Obi Wan was good in the prequels. And the one scene where Bilbo talks to Smaug was actually 10/10.

but jesus christ literally everything else is incomprehensibly bad. what the fuck was p jack thinking. Definitely the new generation of the prequels.
>>
>>63378452
The SW prequels are legitimately better than the Hobbit movies.
>>63378464
Smaug looked like complete shit though, when I saw him I was like "that's kinda cool I guess". Darth Maul was literally the only decent thing in the Phantom Menace.
PM has Darth Maul
AotC has clone troopers and Jango Fett and shit
RotC has that cool space battle at the start, clone troopers killing Jedis and prime meme material.
>>
the hobbit movies are infinitely better. that's why the comparison is a bit unfair, because nothing will ever suck quite as much. there are things that work in the hobbit.

having said that, they are the closest thing there will ever be, probably, and on many occasions channel the problems of the star wars prequels so intensely that it borders on the, dare i say it, poetic
>>
Phantom Menace - 6/10
Attack of the Clones - 5/10
Revenge of the Sith - 6/10

An Unexpected Journey - 4/10
Desolation of Smaug - 3/10
Five Armies - didn't watch, apparently the worst
>>
>>63378516
>The SW prequels are legitimately better than the Hobbit movies.

Nah, I don't follow, the first Hobbit movie alone is probably better than the entire SW prequels, then it goes to shit. Plot's much more straightforward and doesn't require as much of the characters having to be idiots at every turn to make sense (as much, mind you, there's still plenty of it, as well as characters travelling around at speeds that doen't make sense either). They're also made much better, up until the last one which goes full prequel in that its entirely greenscreen.
>>
>>63378583
On that scale, Five Armies is like a -4/10
>>
>>63378611
Your opinion is shit so I'm going to disregard anything you have to say.
>>
>>63378583
No man.
Phantom Menace-3/10
Attack of the Clones-4/10
Revenge of the Sith-5.5/10

An Unexpected Journey-4/10
Desolation of Smaugh-2/10
Five Armies-1/10
>>
>>63378313

They're much better than the prequels but that's saying very, very, VERY little.
>>
The scenes in the Shire in the first Hobbit movie are actually kida nice. Still have the same vibe as the Shire in Fellowship.
It all goes downhill as soon as Bilbo leaves his hole.

No fucking way have you actually seen the entire SW prequels if that's your ratings for them.

people here are insane, the prequels are shit movies not even suitable for kids and adults

atleast the hobbit movies are good enough for kids, as they don't feature the straight up murder of children

the only reason I watched them was the same reason I watched all of lost

The Prequels aesthetics were good, props, creature design, sound design etc

the hobbit is just lord of the rings againb, this time with horrible gray/brown filters smotherd over everything. Also a lot more goofy/gruesome shit eg bird shit on the stoner wizard, cancer goblins, robot armed orc (badasss!!!!!!!!1) burn victim elf, dwarf with an axe in his head. Just an ugly, annoying film.

Prequel plots make no sense, but there's enough action where it's watchable, the hobbit is interminable.

Dialogue/acting in both ranges from decent to laughable.
>>
The Battle of the Five Armies was the only movie of the three that I considered to be awful. I liked the first movie more than most people and the second was good but needed to be edited to be shorter and have some of the goofier moments taken out.
>>
>>63378814
>The Prequels aesthetics were good, props, creature design, sound design etc

Seriously? Jar Jar Binks, Watto and Nute Gunray are good creature designs? Obviously the Hobbit designs are shitty for the big goblin and Azog (who bizarrely isn't shitty looking enough for an orc) which are all entirely CGI instead of the make-up they did for LotR, but at least that can be reasoned with that orcs are supposed to be ugly.

And what filters? The movies are mostly green/blue, it doesn't look like that till maybe the last one, which yeah, is just ugly, full of guys in grey fighting other guys in grey.

You can't possibly praise the Prequels for aesthetics when 2/3rds of them were entirely CGI anyway.

i don't even know why people are arguing over this... the first hobbit was ok (6.5/10 at most) and the others were below average.

peter jackson even admits in a lot of interviews, and behind the scenes, that it was pretty all made up on the spot due to time restrictions, and that he wishes he had more time, like he did with lotr.

i think if time wasn't a problem, we would have had 6 perfect films...but i guess the world just doesn't deserve it.

Worse than the prequels, but there wasn't enough hype to make people see them that way.
The first Hobbit was decent, comfy, but it didn't have an end.
The second had the bullshit cliffhanger and kate from lost.
The third was a terrible cgi shitfest.
The question is, why bother turning a 150 page book into 3 movies? If it had all been done as one nice, small movie with no filler, it could jave been great.

It's not all entirely Peter Jackson's fault. The studios forced him to spread it into 3 movies instead of just two like he originally planned. On top of that Guillermo del Toro had to leave directing The Hobbit and Peter Jackson was forced to step in and direct it, even though he never originally wanted to take on that job in the first place.

The prequels have no excuse however

The Hobbit movies were a lot longer which made them SEEM worse. Watching them was more painful than watching the prequels, partly because of the length but also because of the raped childhood. At least the prequels are dumb enough to just ignore, the Hobbit movies have anally violated a beloved children's book.

In terms of being movies, the Hobbit movies are much better. In terms of having to sit thru them, the prequels are far more "enjoyable" / less painful.

Phantom Menace - 2/10 - podracing and maul lightsaber battle were pretty fun, the rest of the movie was a borefest

Attack of The Clones - 7/10 - the story was good, all the action scenes were really enjoyable

Revenge of the Sith - 10/10 - Unironically one of my favorite movies of all time only downside was the Padme scenes everything else was amazing

An Unexpected Journey - 4/10 - bit at the start was pretty funny, rest of the movie was boring and lacking story

The Desolation of Smaug - 2/10 - Smaug scenes were good, that's it. (it also had a really weird grey filter over all the scenes that made everything colorless and i really hated that)

The Battle of the Five Armies - 0/10 - it had so much potential and was completely ruined by overuse of CGI and zero story (grey filter was even worse in this movie also)

Are you guys legitimately retarded?
The 3rd hobbit did have some shit CGI and some shit lines that stood out but the other 2 didn't. The acting was mostly great as well.
You can't honestly think that "HURR I AM THE SENATE, HE IS THE TRAITOR, IN MY POINT OF VIEW THE HIGH GROUND IS WORSE THAN SAND" is better acting and writing than the hobbit.
Both trilogies have shit CGI so you can't really compare them.


AUJ is probably the only good movie out of the 6. DoS and Revenge of the Sith are are either mostly boring or mostly terrible with some good parts (RotS). BotFa was somewhat retarded but it was nice at parts( Bilbo and thorin scene at the end). The phantom menace and the clone wars were just shit.

They're terrible films, no-one is arguing otherwise, but they have some good acting and some good visuals, that's two things none of the prequels has. I hope to God that I never have to sit thru either again, but at least the Hobbit movies just left me bored, the prequels left me bored and angry.

I don't know how to compare them, but they were pretty bad imo. The fist wasn't that bad, but the second was so boring. I didn't even watch the third after that. If they weren't such greedy assholes, they could have easily made a solid one or two movies out of it. Instead, they decided to put in a bunch of filler and boring shit to artificially lengthen the movie.

I was rolling my eyes at the Smaug chase scene in the second movie as it just wouldn't end. That was the best example of artificially lengthening the movie imo.

SW Prequels was the result of one man going his own way with a beloved franchise made by a team just as dedicated to the vision as he was. The Hobbit was the result of some suits in Hollywood going 'I bet we can a killing on LotR nostalgia!'.

I dunno, there's not much to choose between them. Both had CGI so bad it pulled you out of the movie, only the Hobbit also had some scenes with real terrain so your eyes could recover, while the prequels insist on raping you with CGI literally constantly, even when it makes no sense.

> The problem is with the shitty plot and retarded dialogue.

the Hobbit movies also had terrible dialogue and nonsense plots, but it ALSO had actual quotations from real literature and actual half-good acting by real actors, the prequels just have MUH POETRY and some of the most wooden "performances" ever screened.

We are comparing a pile of shit with another pile of shit, but there's no doubt the prequels are the more obnoxiously foul pile.

On their own, the star wars prequels are worse than the hobbit movies overall.

HOWEVER, the original star wars movies are good, but not the masterpieces that autists and nostalgia make them out to be (the first one being the only one up for debate). While the original LotR films ARE masterpieces.

Therefore, the gap of quality is much greater between lotr and hobbit than between original SW and prequel SW.

>Attack of the Clones - 7/10

AotC is the worst film I have ever seen in my entire life. The story was shit, the action scenes were CGI garbage, the love story almost killed me.

How can anyone like that crappy film more than the Hobbit 1 and even the Phantom Menace?

>>63387187
nope, I agree

>>63387187
How was it better than the first?

What did they mean by this?

>IT"S NOT A DRAGON ITS A WYVERN IT ONLY HAS 2 LEGS FFSSSSSSSSS

Dragons with 4 legs look shite, it's still a dragon if you remove 2 legs.

The prequels were way better than The Hobbit.

There's a nice throughline to the plot, instead of the episodic nature of the first one and the epic-scale nothingness of the third one. it's a story about a bunch of adventurers with grand ambitions, and it becomes increasingly clear as the film progresses that the dwarves actually have no real plan and are meddling with forces they don't really understand as they fuck up a potential ally with the elves over a paltry amount of diamonds and get the town behind them without being able to back it up. In this context I really enjoyed seeing the confrontation with Smaug backfire spectacularly up to and including the final scene of the film. The actors still have good stuff to work with (Thorin is especially good since he has to charismatically sell his terrible decisions), and Lee Pace looked like he was having a blast hamming it up. The conversation between Bilbo and Smaug was great.

Actually Smaugs a wyrm in all of Tolkiens art, so both Jackson renditions are wrong

The unexpected party and Billy Bob talking to Smaug were the only good parts.

yep because there isn't more important shit going on than searching for the differences between a dragon and an almost dragon.

He's literally called a wyrm dumb cunt, then again he also gets called a drake and a dragon in the same book, so I guess you're made up /v/ definitions based on inconsistent heraldry don't really matter

Autistic kid that doesn't even know what a wyvern is himself starts freaking out online, calls everyone a redditor that disagrees with him.
Just another day on /tv/ I guess.

>thorins lust for gold

this scene stood out to me as pants-on-head retarded and a perfect example of the shit tier decisions made to increase runtime

How do we add an extra five minutes to our bloated-ass movie? Let's have Thorin wander around confused in a bad CGI trip and get swallowed up by a stupid puddle of gold for a scene that feels like it takes, like, 50 years.

So much of The Hobbit feels like it was made to be more kid-friendly than LOTR, but I could never picture a kid sitting through shit like that.
