I know Jackson had such a short amount of time to complete these without any planning but still; the studio are such morons for pushing Jackson to deliver such poor work, even if the studio would fire him to get someone else if he didn't complete it, they are still morons for wanting it rushed regardless when this is supposed to be the second most epic fantasy trilogy.
I actually liked parts of Desolation of Smaug, otherwise apart from the opening scene of Unexpected Journey and Gollum's guest appearance - there was way too many boring fillers and subplots. Jackson REALLY should have made it into 2 movies.

How do kids ages 8 to 15 generally recieve the movie?
Remember the prequels sucked for all the old fags but was well recieved by the adolescent and relativly underexposed crowd.
The hobbit IS a childrens book after all. I can't blame jackson for making a kids trilogy and filming it in such simplistic terms.
Austin Collins

Asher Gray
no

This only makes me want another LOTR videogame.

Brandon Evans
I like Plinkett clones, if there good
He's right about the 12 dwarves, it's hard to establish 12 characters but they had 3 long films.

>Go north. Find the Dunedain. There’s a young ranger amongst them. You should meet him. His father Arathorn was a good friend. His son might grow to be a great one. He is known in the wild as Strider. His true name... you must discover for yourself. Legolas! Your mother loved you.

Fuck off the prequels are very memorable
>pic related is a miniature from Phantom Menace
Carter Martin
Do not watch LOTR on blu ray: there is a blue tint that was added and changed the look of the movie
Nolan Green
oh yeah the... not-death star by the... alien... trade.. things who were doing... something bad... that blew up...
memorable indeed
Isaiah Young
You can fuck off now. Phantom Menace had so many memorable comfy moments
Ryder Phillips
How did we go from this
Leo Martinez
that's what you think because you were 10 when you first saw it
Jackson Watson
It is widely accepted by now that Phantom Menace is kino. Attack of the clones on the other hand is still the same dogshit it was a decade ago
Sebastian Brown

i am so glad i didn't see any after the first

It killed me to watch. All of my friends were clapping like retards during the battle scenes. Meanwhile I am slowly crumbling under the realization that Peter Jackson knew he could get away with this not once... but thrice...

I hate 60 fps. I had to see the last 2 in IMAX 60 fps in 3D with family and it was so horrid the way everyone was moving as if in 2x speed.
Nathaniel Smith
Something about the framerate here is off.

lel people defending the phantom menace in a hobbit thread, that trade federation spaceship thingy was shit, just like the faces of the trade federation dudes.
Christopher Myers
AHAHAHAH WHAT THE FUUUUCK
I thought the shit they kept in the final movie was ridiculous vidya tier effects but that is fucking laughable. It's like 90s arcade level.

With every new thing I see of hear about this trilogy I become more and more glad that I will never watch it.
Xavier Nelson
Also this is an actual image from the movie too, how it was released in cinemas and on blu ray as the finished product
Ayden Hill
>tfw this wouldn't be a problem if it were a decent film
I could handle 43 minutes of Shire comf if it was done like The Fellowship, tbqh.
Ryan Jackson
I stand by this Disgusting.
Owen Brown
literally the perfect representation
Gabriel Taylor
Agreed. I don't know what they were going for with half of the Dwarves at Bag-End scene, but it didn't work, and there's no reason it couldn't if handled better.
Charles Sanchez
That's more Tolkien's fault though. He had no sense of pacing.
Evan Green

Nathaniel Parker

Jace Gray
looks like a fucking PS2 cinematic for Tenchu
Isaac Rodriguez
Are you fucking retarded? The film was not adapted so that a word in the book = 1 minute of film. Each chapter in the Hobbit is a different event, and not every chapter was adapted equally. For example the first film was about 40% of the book in length, but the last film was only two chapters.
Christian Fisher
what the actual fuck is this? some joke someone made up pretending this scene was green screen?
Isaiah Carter
>movies aren't perfect >they are the therefore worst movies ever
Modern critique . It's like the critics really want people to pay attention to them

This is what the movie tie-in vidya would have looked like.
Joshua Brown
I wish we could get rid of that tumblr shit at the bottom, then that image might be worth saving.
William Rogers
In the books it was a pretty comfy chapter, it's a shame the film was a total butchery of everything that felt good about it.
Alexander Turner
It would have been so good if it was 1 movie.
Just an normal 2.5 hour movie based off a short book, not everything needs to be a 10 hour trilogy.
Henry Rogers
did you even watch the video series listed? It details all the problems
Samuel Howard
Nope, it's legit.
Matthew Edwards
How does this trash get greenlit
Jayden Brown
Worst? No Most disappointing? Yes
Brandon Cooper
And those 43 minutes are the only good part of the trilogy.
Henry Bell
what did they do for the lord of the rings? how did they create the size difference?
Angel Smith
To be fair they got the rock giants right, I think.
Also Christopher was massively butthurt over the LOTR trilogy too.
Samuel Sanchez
all kinds of tricks
forced perspective was one of them
Parker Richardson
They used illusions but that wasn't possible for the Hobbit because instead of 1 or 2 short people and heaps of normal sized people, everyone in the Hobbit is short except for 1 or 2 normal sized people.
Chase Collins
literally took me 2 seconds
Christian Cooper
They built real sets and used real actors.
Ryan Kelly
Still not saving it tbqh
Oliver White
>the sad lifeless look on Ian's face having to be in these movies, knowing what an absolute wreck it is youtube.com/watch?v=dzTOnNzBQSI

Its just a memer, satan. Phantom is great with a fuck ton of fantastic shots.
Tyler Richardson
>tfw the cartoon versions were superior in every way.
Jace Stewart
I agree with Martin regarding Hackson, but it's funny coming from the guy constantly flipping off the camera.
Daniel Gray
>Is this the worst film trilogy ever? Not by a long shot.
Jonathan Hill
Hobbit looks like someone bumped up the noise cancellation to fucking 11. also, visible frame blending
Jordan Morales
>Ian McKellen found performing in front of a greenscreen for the first Hobbit film, An Unexpected Journey, so demanding that he almost quit acting.
Hell the fucking video game was superior and much more faithful to the book.
Leo Ward
They've already been answered in this thread. The other characters are hobbits and filming them next to Gandalf would have made them the same size.
Christian Reyes
>Since Gandalf is meant to be much larger than the other characters in "The Lord of the Rings" series and "The Hobbit," McKellen had to film all of his scenes alone against a green screen. The actor would know who was talking by seeing pictures of his co-stars faces light up where they would be positioned in the scene, and all this isolation took its toll on McKellen.The veteran actor broke down one day while filming "The Hobbit," and began crying in his isolated green room. McKellen even admitted to screaming out "This is not why I became an actor." Of course, McKellen got through it and gave a masterful performance in the films.
Jack Hill
except one was made about a decade earlier.
Joshua Cook

Oliver Harris
yes it unironically is. How they managed to make that bok into three movies and still leave things out is beyond me
Austin Collins
Love that pig!
Jose Morris
You can't even blame Jackson for the mess. I feel bad for him and everybody involved.
They gave him 5 months to rewrite 3 major epic and highly anticipated films into something he could direct because MGM were broke shits who couldn't pay Del Toro.
It really sucks what happened to it
Dylan Gonzalez
>Phantom Menace had so many memorable comfy moments
That's because 50% of the movies take place on a couch.
Caleb Gray
>ACTING
Nicholas Fisher
There's no couch in the Phantom Menace you fucking baiting cunt. gb2r tbqh
Asher Adams
That is really, really impressive.
Robert Hall
I haven't laughed like that for a while, thank you
Liam Smith
so you've literally never watched phantom then? that even further confirms my theory that all phantom memers are just falling for group pressure and have never actually watched it.
Ian Johnson
That's a common misconception. The DVD white balanced every shot, effectively removing the theatrical grading while adding an unintentional pinkish tint during some parts. While not entirely accurate, the blu ray attempts to re capture the theatrical grading.
