And for the record, I love the plate throwing scene at the beginning of the Hobbit.

The first Hobbit was actually pretty good, as was a decent amount of Smaug. It just went off the rails with all the Gandalf plot and the filler and extreme CGI in 5 Armies

Easily the best trilogy of all time, and I’m a diehard for Nolan Batman and Star Wars OT

The hobbit sucks. Still can be fun to watch though.

It just doesnt have a lot of depth to it.

It was a child’s book compared to LOTR. That’s accurate. It’s supposed to be more fun and less deep

Yeah but even the parts that are trying to hit deep in the movies dont hit the mark.

Thorin Oakenshield tries to be a tragic hero with a redemption but he just comes off as a sulking a-hole

It’s a goofy movie with too much CGI

It sucks because it sucks, not because it is a children’s book
