Why did these suck so much compared to the epic brilliance of LOTR?

Why did these suck so much compared to the epic brilliance of LOTR?

Initial development troubles. Studio interference. General lack of interest from filmmaker in charge.

3d

should have been 1 movie. 2 is pushing it, 3 is a disaster.

Improvements in CGI gave Peter Jackson autism so you got things like the molten gold river being made 2 weeks before the movie was released.

This. They were only made for money, and nobody had fun.

This is exactly right.

1st movie was so boring in many parts

This.
Watch some of the behind the scenes stuff. It was a tortured endeavor. Jackson did an AMAZING job considering the bullshit he had to work through.

Simple things like making enough sword props. LoTR had a year or more of prep time. The Hobbit movies had months. Weeks in some cases

Holy shit really only 2 weeks? Does the blu ray features explain all this?

Because they are based on a childrens novel thats like 50 pages long

I just finished making a short movie in a matter of 4 weeks. So I understand Jackson's stress

Finalizing the script, getting costumes and props.

Was hell of stress and we didnt plan out how we wanted each scene to fully be, had to quickly improvise.

The source material is inferior.

Didn't he learn his lesson after the nightmares that were TTT and RotK post-productions?

Yup.

PJ litterally had no idea wit they were doing. Half the physical scenes were replaced by cgi.

Idk but the river and barrel s scene was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

It was so unexpected.

it was the studio trying to make the new gollum. gollum was extremely well received in lotr as a true advancement in cgi. they were trying to do it again with all this fucking shit.

>tfw we almost got a Del Toro Hobbit film
man that wouldn't have been fucking amazing.

CGI EVERYTHING.

Some parts looked like early 2000s movies

padding of the story to get max shekels. lotr was an epic novel trilogy made into epic movie trilogy. hobbit is a comparatively short story made into another epic trilogy padded with shit cgi battles.

You think Warcraft will be LOTR reborn?

Not like he had much of a choice. Del Toro just left the production in shambles and PJ had to jump in at the last minute, and the studio refused to give him more time to iron out the kinks. The elf-dwarf love story? Del Toro's work. If PJ had been given an extra year and if it had been just one movie, it could have been fucking awesome. As it is, it's a Frankenstein that PJ stitched together.

being Peter Jackson is hard
>studio wants to make hobbit movie
>guillermo del toro starts it then quits because that's what he does.
>Jackson has his own vision
>nowhere near enough time to get shit done
>studio forces him to split it into too many parts because shekels.
>lack of time forces him to CG everything
>forced to include tons of unnecessary shit to draw out the length, including inserting a literal fanfic character.
>literally doesn't even have time to storyboard, just makes it up as he goes.
>WEPA doesn't even have time to make the CGI good, they just slap bloom on everything.
