re: The Hobbit

I have a few big issues with The Hobbit trilogy:
1. So many long, drawn out scenes with extraordinarily bad looking CGI (trolls, goblin king, river barrels, gold madness, battle of the five armies). They look so obviously fake that it ruins my suspension of disbelief and thwarts any feelings of danger. The scenes go on so long that they remove all of the tension and just become a chore.
2. So much filler threw off the pacing. What makes The Hobbit a perfect fantasy novel is its extraordinary great pacing (up until the final battle, imo).
I will say, the most important scenes from the book, they absolutely nailed like: the dwarves coming to dinner, Bilbo meeting Gollum, riddles with smaug, etc).

The river barrel hopping scene and Legolas running up falling stones was atrocious CGI. The behind the scenes showing Ian Mckellen’s abject disappointment shooting with all the green screen sums this trilogy up.

This is what makes the trilogy so frustrating to me. It would be easier for me to wrap my head around it if they hadn't delivered on these scenes.
