Because admit it or not its a good film.

Didn't realize how much CGI vomit there was in this scene.

...

People like bad movies

Dude c'mon

Even though Jackson made sure to film them going down a real river and built a whole practical set for them to ride around like a themepark thing, somehow it looks almost entirely computer generated in post.

>"Oy Vey, Mr Jackson, we've been hearing rumours you plan to make the Hobbit in two parts and not three?"
"Yes, it's a short childrens book"
>"Oy Gevalt, what a holocaust, Mr Jackson, we are missing out on a third film worth of shekels here"
"It'll be hard to make the source material last two films, let alone 3"
>"A shoah, right here in my office, remember the 2 billion, Mr Jackson, we demand you make stuff up, invent new characters, show popular characters from Lord of the Rings, lots and lots of CGI"
"Yes, my chosen one"
>"One last thing you Goy animal, we hear the dragon has 4 legs... it only needs 2 to walk, many shekels will be saved"

The studio forced it on Hackson with strict deadlines and nothing went smoothly during production. So, we end up with a disheveled mess on par with the star wars prequels

It gave me PTSD I can't rewatch LOTR now

What effect did they add to make it look like this? Is it bloom or something?

More importantly though WHY DID THEY DECIDE TO USE IT?! It looks like absolute dogshit. The whole time I'm watching it's like there's something in my eye making them well up a little bit and blur the screen. Who decided that this was a good aesthetic?

Yes it's a bloom effect. Terrible terrible

...

They use it to distract from shitty CGI implemented mere days before release

...

...

oh fuck off with this bait webm

That was a good scene. Should have just been short clips, that and riddles in the dark. Or, you know, put some fucking effort in the trilogy and delay it by three years.

Fucking hacks.

>when the book version has a long dialog where bilbo is trying to outsmart the dragon while staying invisible the whole time and the dragon has no idea what the ring is so has no reason to just kill bilbo instantly and take the ring.

It´s like a fucking computer game

Particularly upsetting is when you can see a very obvious green screen for what would be rather simple to do practically.

...

this looks like ass, no way it's the finished rendering

Lmao who would make a webm of Lair, I thought everyone hated that game.

oh it's fucking final. pic related is from the actual movie

...

How do people this incompetent end up in charge of such a massive investment?

...

btw Jackson built an entire set with gold coins. The entire thing may look CGI in the movie version but that is not the truth..

Sadly what was meant to be practical does look animate so Jackson must have been fully pissed with SOME hard work he did for this.

>How do people this incompetent end up in charge of such a massive investment?
The same fucking hacks who CGI'd over all the practical effects for 2011's The Thing?
youtube.com/watch?v=fBzpT7VmSaU

The filmmaking industry is making me suicidal.

The fuck are you talking about? Looks exactly like that. I don't know if they went back and touched it up in later releases but in the first release that's genuine.

Why would they do this though?

>tfw AUJ was alright
>tfw even DoS was alright because the dragon was cool despite the awful barrel scene
>tfw BOTFA was fucking awful, just absolutely awful in every way
They deserved more time to make these films. They have redeeming elements
>The dwarves are cool minus the two human ones
>The movie is comfy
>Howard Shore score is alright
>Bilbo is great, perfect casting
>Smaug was cool
>Gollum was cool
REEEEE

>Why would they do this though?
Because practical effects take too much time and positioning a camera a certain way takes too much time.

Put someone in a green suit, film them anyway possible and then in the editing process they can play around with what they want on the green suit.

Fucking sucks but Hollywood is run by hacks now.

I actually like Desolation of Smaug user, BUT BOTFA is so unwatchable!

>They deserved more time to make these films.
It was sad watching the behind the scenes and how the actors were so happy to finally be able to walk through a little set piece after having to be in front of green screens constantly.

>>Howard Shore score is alright
AUJ's score was God tier but I don't remember any music cues from the other 2

horses exist right? why the need for cgi?

Lol wtf? This looks like a ps2 game.

...

What did he mean by this?

...

I can't believe this made it into the theatrical cut, it was fucking baffling.

wtf literally disney

Fucking youtube tier

The film had a quadriplegic amputee troll in it!

WHY?? WHY????

Not even hinted at in the books, served no purpose, made no sense. It was just pure crapping on the book and the film and the audience.

Gandalf mentions giant 'were-worms' that can bore through mountains are attacking. Then they are never mentioned again.

Good Work Peter Jackson!

They keep addinh motionblur on top. Disgusting.

Tell me this is from some movie based game pls

...

...

it's an awesome action-packed movie you contrarian pretentious baiting cry babies

l8 b8

deal with it, it's a great movie fgt

But it sold LEGOs...

Well, they made a lot of LEGOs about it. Did they sell?

empowering LEGO

Who didn't want to get this for Christmas?

Kids older than like 5 have such shitty lives these days

What the Hell character was this supposed to be anyway?

it's a silly as fuck eyesore and an assraping of tolkein's original work

post lego alfrid pls

Admit it, the reworked new release of LoTR-Deluxe that incorporates The Hobbit into it was well done. PIC RELATED

>Legolas my son seek up a young boy named Aragorn he goes by the name Strider

Forgot about that, Jesus Christ.

the scar-faced Warg master Orc
Don't remember him having man-boobs in the film though....

Did it take Legolas 70 years to go to Rivendell and find him?

Why could't they just practice restraint? FUCKING RESTRAINT? WITH EVERYTHING?

>and btw your mother loved you
*vomits*

...

can't even spell his name

>why does it hurt so much?
>"because it was REAAAAAAAAL"

>mfw the guy acting Aragorn's dad/uncle whatever was younger than Orlando Bloom

>legolas and girl elf abandon a plot they were never originally a part of to go look at some bats
>WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
the bats are never seen again

cue BURZUM music video... and play, now!

what am i, google?

The ArkenStone never looked more majestic.

>"One last thing you Goy animal, we hear the dragon has 4 legs... it only needs 2 to walk, many shekels will be saved"
Thanks user, I needed the laugh

Wait, just realized that's a bong.

I wonder how badly it hurts Jackson that these films turned out to be steaming garbage? He made some bad decisions but unlike Lucas, who mostly seems happy with the prequels, I can't help but feel like Peter's passion for the source material probably means he knows exactly how fucking horrible these are.

>Make a GOAT trilogy
>Try to step down
>Have to make the prequels
>They're shit

Lee Pace

how did they get a ways with the entire trilogy to begin with

every single one of the movies was terrible

First one was ok, second one faltering hard and you should stop watching around the time they get lost in the woods. Everything after that is just a fever dream.

that thing was so disgusting

the entire theme of all the movies was all over the place

again just like star wars

the second one was already trash

everything that is bad about the second and the third is already more then relevant in the first one

be it the stupid actions scenes (the rabbit chariot chase), the terrible dialogue and humor, the complete jumps in tone, all the extra scenes that weren´t part of the books or the bad acting/characters

What about the constipated hobbit key-chain? It more than made up for all the sins of the films.

REEEEEEEEEEE

why do studios have to ruin everything?

would it have killed them to wait 2 or 3 more years

it´s not like they had plans the next giant trilogy right after the hobbit

How could they do this to him!?
