I don't understand the hate these movies get.
They're definitely not as good as the original trilogy but they're fun movies. I'm a bit over halfway through Desolation of Smaug though. I think most of the hate I see is for the third film. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

the hate comes from all the ass dragging they had to do to stretch that book out into three movies.

To this day, the second Hobbit movie remains one of the few I just couldn't make it to the end of.

This, plus the cringe worthy dwarf/elf falling in love subplot, plus the 48 fps, plus the awful CGI (seriously, how does LOTR look so much better when it was made over a decade earlier?). Just all around awful movies. I'm still surprised at how badly they fucked it up. ... Copied to Clipboard!

This. IIRC it was only supposed to be 2, but studio greed got in the way so they had to awkwardly stretch 2 movies into 3 really long ones.It was the filmmakers decision. From how they wrote it, it was honestly better to make it 3 instead of 2. But, they probably shouldn't have wrote it that way in the first place. Yeah, they are not terrible, if you think of them basically as a tv series. Honestly, it makes me wish each of the 3 LotR parts had been longer. I'm only bothered by the fact that Hobbit is so close to the length of LotR. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The first movie was great, and so was Smaug and the part with the barrels. Third movie was kinda bad but still fun.

Should have been two filmsSo you agree witth their 3rd movie as is? Cause that's basically what you're describing, except you're saying they should have squished the first two together? I think those first two would have too much content to have the movie end with smaug, while the 3rd one is not enough to be a movie by itself. Cause the filmmakers said, when they were trying to cut it as two, they ended with the crew arriving in Laketown, but it wasn't a good enough ending by itself. So then they changed it to three movies, so they could end the 2nd with the Smaugh showdown. When I heard them explain it that way, it made more sense why they made that decision. ...

TABA [movie 2] would have some creative freedom especially since Bilbo was KO'd most of the battle. Hollywood could have added extra stuff to reach feature length as long as it made the movie good. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The first two are mostly fine as lesser, more child-friendly versions of LotR (except the atrocious barrel river scene). The scenes where the dwarves arrive at Bilbos house, and Bilbos encounter with Smaug are highlights. The third film is just a big pile of dog shit, with cgi overload and boring action scenes. The whole trilogy suffers from the inclusion of Legolas/elf girl, and Gandalfs solo adventures.

I was so turned off by the first one I never bothered with the others. Parts of it were really dumb like Radagast the Brown being a shroom taking hippie with a rabbit sled. That's really minor, I know, but it sticks out in my memory.

What's really stupid is that they cut Radagast out of the LotR movies due to time constraints, but inserted him into The Hobbit movies to have more shitty garbage filler to stretch it out to three movies.

It's almost like they intentionally left important parts out of the theatrical version in the hopes you'd churn out another however many tens of dollars the extended edition goes for in addition to your theater ticket and your theatrical edition home video purchase.

Literally her character's only purpose was to be part of a love triangle. I can't imagine she'd ever be added in a scenario where that wasn't the case. --- "That thick shaft that causes women to shudder!" ... Copied to Clipboard!
