re: The Hobbit Trilogy

I have 2 major issues with the hobbit, which ultimately destroyed the trilogy:

These are the same two arguments I've made all along as well. Almost word for word.

There were people who were going to love these movies no matter what they were though. It could have been three 3-hour long movies about a dragon giving birth as long as PJ directed and you called it a lotr prequel.

I guess I need to stop arguing with people about them because it's like I'm taking crazy pills when nobody agrees about how crappy the cgi is and that not having much of it in lotr was part of the reason it was so great. O well.

After seeing all 3, I think the first one is the best (that's not saying much). I'm not sure if the third is worse, better, or equal to the second one. In some ways I think it was probably better (maybe). In a lot of ways it was worse, or at least just downright awful.

Still having a hard time figuring out this sentence but I just went ahead and skipped the third one.

I was at least going to give PJ props that he did my favorite part of the book justice. Bilbo's conversation with Smaug. I was in the theatre thinking "wow, not bad, thus is actually a little creepy like I was hoping it would be." But of course he goes and screws it up by finishing the scene like your on a 3D roller coaster ride at Disneyland. I hate that guy.
