That lighthearted adventure feel. Everything turns to shit the moment it tries to be some big epic war like LotR
Austin Allen
Too many dwarves
Hunter Martinez
CGI
Adam James
Digital cinematography.
Eli Baker
The story isn't well-suited for 3 films. It's basically New Line Cinema's fault. They forced Peter Jackson to make the whole thing on a ridiculously tight schedule.
Hudson Campbell
Something about the costume design and sets comes off as very fake and almost cosplay like. I get a similar feeling from the actors, like they watched lotr and are trying to emulate it and failing. I'd have ather of got the del toro version.
Chase Roberts
Jackson made Gandalf cry like a little girl
Juan Martinez
It wasn't made with love or passion.
LOTR was made with both, exuberantly so.
Jackson never wanted to make these, never planned to, and was tired; but had invested far too much money NOT to after Del Toro took off.
So he "winged" the whole thing, which he's not great at even when he IS passionately involved in it.
Alexander Anderson
I mean he spent years just PLANNING LOTR before even casting.
James Jones
The parts in Wilderland is peak comfy
Blake Rogers
Shitty CGI, Martin Freeman is fucking shit and was a terrible pick for Bilbo, short and simple story spread paper thin and ruined via packing it with shitty fanfiction tier filler, etc etc, but also pic related
Michael Miller
Not amazing but I enjoyed them
Ayden Roberts
Of all the problems with the movie, Martin Freeman wasn't one of them
Carter Foster
Because it was challenging you
Adrian Diaz
Martin Freeman being a whiny cunt is what makes him a good Bilbo, since Bilbo is also a whiny cunt.
Christopher Young
it stopped being comfy once they introduced the elves
Henry Moore
So your saying Orlando bloom and Evangeline Lilly ruined it? I concur.

The hobbit is 95,366 words
LotRs is 481,103 words
Instead of having to trim and pick out the best scenes from JRR, they had to invent filler, and they are no JRR, the cringey action scenes they added stand out a lot. Such as Turing the barrel escape into a chase scene, and the wolfs and the weird running around the dwarf mt. with video game physics.

The gollum bit and the singing dwarves were kino
The rest can thankfully be easily forgotten

Loved the LotR trilogy, and saw them in the theater as they came out, haven't seen the Hobbit I guess because I heard it was so bad and so stretched out, it sounds to me like there has never been a fan edit more desperately needed and if some fan who was really familiar with the 3 films and the source material took the 120-150 best minutes out of these films they could put together a really good single film that was on-par with the LotR films, too bad as I would actually be interested in watching this as I'm sure a lot of others would too

This trilogy seemed a bit 'cartoony' with silly moments for young children whereas LOTR was more of a theatrical drama that had a sort of seriousness to it.
LOTR had alot of soul put into it...
Austin Stewart
the dwarves are lame and you spend most of the movie with them
Julian Torres
>edit
There's a few highly rated edits out there, none that I've watched can save it. It's like all those prequel edits, all they can do is cut the runtime down, they can't make the core movie any good
Noah Carter
>a short children's book stretched into a war trilogy
>switching directors during production
>digital rendering is given more emphasis than practical effects and compositing
>disgusting bloom used to hide said shitty effects
>actors who are unabashedly in a green room crying to themselves before shooting every morning
>ironically no patience for pacing or character development despite its duration
>actors from the previous films have long lost their steam
Though I really had no problem with 48fps. It was just a shitty series
Kayden Sanders
Hobbiton is decent. Singing scenes were almost LOTR-tier, but somewhere in the back of my mind, there was also the knowledge of the joyless manner in which it was put together.
I'm also still baffled about what made Jackson decide to make THREE fucking movies out of this... even worse being that each of them also has an extended version. Blegh.
Cooper Miller
This.
It tried to recapture the magic of the original trilogy when the source material was never going to let it happen.
Adrian Johnson
>THREE fucking movies out of this
money
Grayson Diaz
The problem is, he also wanted to make way too elaborate sequences. Which could have been left out.
