This movie is bad, really bad. I finally watched it and what the hell? It's worse than I thought.
It might be one of the worst, most disappointing things I've seen, it's even worse if you're a fan of the book.
It's not even Star Wars prequel level of bad, it's worse, it's so much worse. FUCK YOU PETER
>>62778964
>might be one of the worst, most disappointing things I've seen
you had expectations? i dont know what you couldve expected after the last 2 and king kong other than bloated stuff. the Dragon was cool Tbh thought
Here's why it's so bad:
The Lord of the Rings: a movie with too much source material that they had to only include the most important and most interesting things.
The Hobbit: a movie with so little source material they had to throw in as much filler and bullshit as they could. It was 3 movies simply for monetary reasons.
It's so dense
>>62779018
I should have worded that differently, all of them are disappointing, when the first trailer came out for the 1st one I thought it'd be great, I never could have seen it being this fucking bad

>Go north. Find the Dunedain. There’s a young ranger amongst them. You should meet him. His father Arathorn was a good friend. His son might grow to be a great one. He is known in the wild as Strider. His true name... you must discover for yourself. Legolas! Your mother loved you.
>>62779594
I haven't seen the movie but I refuse to believe this is actual dialogue, it legitimately looks like regurgitated meme garbage from /tv/

Recently watched the 3 hour fan edit of the Hobbit
Really good imo, check it out
Only really jarring cuts are when It transfers from Hobbit 1 > Hobbit 2, It is very noticable, and there is a couple of scenes (Near the end of the Bilbo v Smaug scene is the best example, I think maybe in the movie It cuts away from that scene and then when it comes back they've moved) that have several cuts in short succession and characters teleport to different areas within those cuts
Battle of Five armies is arguably still too long even though It only goes for like 10 minutes
>>62779594
>His father's name was Arathorn
>His name rhymes with that
>You basically replace the "th" in Arathorn with a "g"
>He's played by Viggo Mortensen
>Give up?
>Watch the thrilling original, Lord of the Rings™: The Fellowship of the Ring™ to find out who I'm talking about! On BluRay™ now!
>>62779594
Peter actually wanted to do this (rationale of course being that Dunedain age super slow, Aragorn is in his 80s during the war of the ring) but based Viggo turned him down for being inaccurate to the source material.
>>62779341
I have that game on PS2. I believe this the cutscene before the final boss battle. Good times.
>>62780927
The hobbit was never on PS2 you dum- wait a minute. Well played, sir, well played.
>>62780985
and this is the average /tv/ poster now. fuck this gay earth
>>62781108
baited hard :^)
>>62778964
honestly, it felt like a spoof movie.
Only good part was in the extended cut when Bofur(???) said "Goodbye Bilbo" right before Bilbo leaves, that scenes is actually good.
>>62779594
>His true name... you must discover for yourself.
:^) ebin
Fuck you I liked it.
>>62781353
go to bed peter
>>62778964
The battle part was pretty shitty, also using your son as a xbow.
>>62781379
you mean Bain?
>>62780985
You glorious bastard. I tip to thee.
/tv/ always makes me kek when discussing bad movies
>>62779676
and to think, botfa alone cost more to make than the entire LotR trilogy combined
When the fuck can I download the Appendices?
>Have potential to make 1 or 2 really good movies that are faithful to the hobbit books
>instead go crazy with filler to pad out 3 mediocre movies
Was there anything that they added that wasn't terrible? And then they neutered beorn and mirkwood so they could have fucking legolas and the elf romance shit instead.
>>62782570
>mediocre
they aren't even mediocre. they are garbage. these are movies that millions of people wanted to love but everyone is disappointed. these are straight up shitty B movies that
>>62780985
It actually was.
This was during the height of LotR popularity so game developers were scrambling to use the IP as much as possible.
>>62779130
fuck you rick
>>62782829
Forgot pic.
>le hobbit is so bad amirite xddd
Stop trying to fit in.
Calling it worse than the prequels is stupid. All hobbit movies had great acting, martin freeman and armitage did a great job. Lee Pace and Gandalf were fantastic too. Honestly, only Alfrid and Tauriel were bad. The dialogue was also good for the bigger part, excluding shit like >>62779594
>>62779594

Jesus fucking Christ. Why is the world unfair?

>MUH WEE LAD GIMLI GET IT
no. just no
i liked unexpected journey, haven't watched the other two
>>62779656
my brother always screamt "FLAME OF UDUN!" when we were fighting.
I guess it was because im as big as balrog
>>62782678
The first one was decent, but shit like the rock giants took it down. Second was worse, but generally faithful. Last one just took a chapter where bilbo was knocked out and stretched it out for 90 minutes longer than it should have been.
>>62782904
The first two weren't prequel tier. The third one was.
Watch Lord of the Rings again without your nostalgia goggles on and it will be just as shit as the hobbit.
Peter Jackson is a fucking hack, and how and why he was given the movies to direct is one of the greatest mysteries of modern times.
2 low budget film school quality gore b movies and a shitty documentary and they hand him a massive big budget trilogy based on hugely popular and beloved source material, absolutely mental.
>>62783096
>Watch Lord of the Rings again without your nostalgia goggles on and it will be just as shit as the hobbit.
Nah, the first one is so comfy, esp. the Shire part.
I still genuinely enjoy the first Hobbit movie.
>>62778964
Smaug being killed off in the opening credits, Stephen Fry's unfunny unibrow manservant Alfrid doing cringe tier comedy, stupid shit with Tauriel and Kili. Everything wrong with the film.
Also thoughts on Thorin's descent into madness? They got a good actor for him but I just didn't buy it when he was being entranced by all that gold in Erebor. Felt sort of lazy.
>>62783136
Yeah, the first Hobbit film is genuinely decent despite some of the changes, doesn't quite have a similar feel to Fellowship but still pretty comfy and with a good OST. I was annoyed when I heard Freeman would be playing Bilbo but he warmed up to me by the end and turned out being one of the surprisingly better of the entire trilogy.
My one complaint is how the camaraderie doesn't feel as real as it does in Lord of the Rings, honestly, outside of Thorin, the old Dwarf and the fat one, did anyone actually care about the others at all?
>>62783136
First one is a decent movie with some bad moments.
Second one is a bad movie with some decent moments.
Didn't watch the third.
>>62782854
this game was really good I still remember most of it. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
>>62783136
>Radagast the Brown
>Radagast the birdshit covered animal sleigh rider
>Radagast who has to tell Gandalf about the necromancer even thought Gandalf is supposed to have already been in dungeons of Dun Guldur where he gets the map and key to the secret door from Thrain before he even meets Thorin or decides to start the quest for Erebor
Hey Frodo, did I ever tell you about the time my girlfriend, Kate from Lost, fell in love with a dwarf she had just met and ran off with him?
And then after she had talked to him twice, he died and she cried how she would never love again. Alfrid was there too, he was the key to all this. I'm surprised Bilbo never told you, she was a good friend.
How long are the Behind the Scenes in the BoFA extended edition?
Just curious because the Behind the Scenes are 5x better than the actual Hobbit films and I can't be fucked downloading the extended edition if it's less than a couple of hours of shit.
>>62783317
>outside of Thorin, the old Dwarf and the fat one, did anyone actually care about the others at all?
The one with the hat was cool.
>>62778964
Only saw the first one because of how lame it was, literally the only good shit was some of bilbo's house and riddles in the dark. Shit was so stretched and padded it had no point. There was no lure or tension in the story to make the audience interested. The action was tasteless video game shit, literally using video game sidescrolling cinematography, what the fuck.
Never saw the other movies, but there's just no way things went below star wars prequel levels. The only reason you are saying that is because you have long gotten over the SW prequels and forgot the pain, or the star wars disaster is less confusing because you understand how it happened.
There's literally no reason for jackson to have fucked these movies up, he's competent and everyone else involved in the movie had talent that was ready to go, he just fucked it up anyway. Once you get over how senseless that is, things don't look worse than star wars.
Why didn't they make LOTR nine movies if they made The Hobbit three?
How come they did a better job at making the Elf ears look real in LOTR but did a piss poor job of making Elf and Hobbit ears in The Hobbit?
>>62779018

its a wyvern

It's like being a fan of Clifford the big red dog. Nobody over 5 is one.

How the fuck did we go backwards in technology in the past decade?
>>62783548
AUJ EE has 15 minutes of the dwarves dancing naked in a fountain at rivendell
top quality extra scenes desu
>>62783548
What do you expect from green-screen-the-movie?
I mean the technical aspect is probably pretty cool, but other than that i dont think you will see anything
>>62783597
they are worse than SW prequels purely because they took such good source material and ruined it - frankly i dont give a shit about whatever stories and characters george lucas pulls out his ass, its not like Jar Jar Binks was was a beloved character the helped introduce millions of children to fantasy fiction for over half a century before the prequels came along.
How is it that this movie is miles better than the billion dollar monstrosities Jackson churned out?
>adaptations
>adaptations that are worse than the source
why do people do this?
>>62783948
Understands its source material well and has GOAT songs.
>>62783647
nerd
>>62783647
I love this /v/eme
All the battle scenes were fucking trash. Especially the one with the Dwarf King, anytime he was fighting I was in amazement that this was an actual movie. At least some of the prequel battles were actually pretty cool
>>62778964
I enjoyed the first one quite a bit. It was a mess, but I enjoyed it. I hated the second one and it made me tired. Got this coming from Netflix. I'm guessing even more tiresome that the second? Also is there more Godmode Legolas? Because I REALLY hated that faggot in the second movie.
>>62784278
>Also is there more Godmode Legolas?
CGI Legolas climbs falling CGI stairs to kill a CGI Orc, the entire scene looks more like a videogame than most videogames
>>62784278
He's even more retarded in this one
>>62783011
ur a big guy ;^)
>reminder that this movie literally killed christopher lee
>>62784420
He was a character who worked really well in little ostentatious doses in the first three movies but he was just obnoxious in the second one.
>>62784432
Yeah, this scene was where I felt like I was getting punched in the face over and over again and I just wanted to go take a nap.
I'm worried the entire ending battle will be like that.
>it's even worse if you're a fan of the book
The book was WORSE than the movies. Have you even read it?
>>62784556
This fucking scene, I literally burst out laughing in the cinema because it was so absurd. The movies were worth paying for only to laugh at the awfulness of it all.
>>62784577
Yeah, it's a nice little children's adventure story. What's bad about it? Please don't tell me you were thinking it was going to be like a Drizzt Durndle story.
>>62784610
I felt that way about the first one. But I was probably laughing during this scene too.
>ITS MUH WEE LAD GIMLI
anyone have a legolas mario jumping bridge scene?
>>62784614
>nice little children's adventure story
Just like the movies, so what the fuck are you complaining about?
>>62784759
The movies are overstuffed garbage that I'm fairly sure would bore the shit out of children.
>>62784834
The book would bore children too. Do we have any proof that kids actually likes this book?
>>62784984
The publishers' kid liked it.
I loved it when I was a kid. The movie too. It's similar to the Narnia books, although not as crotchety or self-indulgent, which were also favorites of mine.
