What went wrong?
Peter Jackson made three books into three movies.
After this achievement, he went and made one (shorter) book into three movies.
He actually ran out of events from the book so he had to lift things from Tolkien's other work and make shit up.
It should have been two films, tops.

I've never seen any of the hobbit movies, how much shit is made up in them?

Nothing, all three were solid 7/10
LOTR might have been one narrative just like The Hobbit, but its breakdown into three distinct parts made sense since each part was long enough and has a satisfying dramatic structure.
The Hobbit clearly feels like one story stretched out, cut up, and taped together at random places. The second movie is particularly bad about this since it has no clear beginning or end, it just cuts off in the early stages of the climax leaving everyone with blue balls.
Also the CGI is ugly as fuck sometimes but at least it's better than some of the shitty fade transitions in LOTR.
>book shorter than every lotr one
>turn it into 3 movies

The third was total shit and completely unnecessary.
Thorin recovered from his gold fever just to make people cry at the end so they forgot how bland everything beforehand was.

The gray orc that bothers them throughout the movies never actually appears in the book.

So does not Sauron.

Taken out of context. They were only referring to one unfinished battle scene.
Shitty uninteresting original character thrown in to have a shitty uninteresting romance plot with the conveniently conventionally hot dwarf.
>>64262899
would it have been better if it was split into just 2 movies?
>>64262822
Should've been a comfy, funny, mildly perilous children's movie. Then Peter got caught up in 'muh lore' and started cramming shit in that had no business being there.
>implying /tv/ won't say it's superior to Lord of the Rings once another middle earth film comes out
Despite the fact that they stretched one fairly short story across three movies, they still pissed around with nonrelevant subplot shit instead of dedicating that time to expanding existing material and developing characters so that people could remember more dwarves than Thorin, Kili, and the funny fat one.
This movie was made for one purpose.Money
>>64262822
Jackson didn't really want to do it but felt obligated. He always intended it to be 2 movies (That would have been for the best) but the suits forced it into a trilogy. The long story short is that Peters heart just wasn't in it
>>64263346
I'm pretty sure Jackson was attempting to summon Tolkien from the grave via anger necromancy.
>>64263316
>/tv/ is one person
>>64263391
Pretty much, as much an echo chamber as
>>64263302
Maybe. Peter Jackson became a fan of ridiculous scenes though, like the entire barrels-in-the-rapids scene. Just because it could be better doesn't mean he'd actually do it.
3 movies werent enough to remember any of those dwarves names

Love romance between an female elf and a dwarf.
No shiting you, added race mixing in hobbit.
is there a watchable compilation of the movies out yet?
>>64263208
At least sauron's part is happening during the book. The story is just not told.
>>64263896
There's a reason it's not discussed in the book. The focus gets all wacky and loose when you shove shit like that in. There's a time and place for that narrative, and it's not in Bilbo's story.
>>64263881
The Arkenstone Edit of Part 1 is available p2p. It greatly corrects many of PJ's errors in craft in this flick.
>>64262941
Legolas.
Just for (female) fan service
>>64262899
>He actually ran out of events from the book
The worst thing is that he didn't. Some things from the book were skimmed over, like almost the entirety of Mirkwood and how it mindfucked the dwarves. So the made up stuff was put in instead of actual book content.

That's what happens when you try to adapt a children's book to the tone of something more along the lines of occasionally thematically dark YA to coattail its success.

>he doesn't know Kili, Fili, Balin, Dwalin, Dori, Nori, Ori, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Oin, and Gloin's names

In the second part.
Only good part of the Hobbit was Armitage as Thorin.
