Embarassing

Rating: 1/10 (10 March 2020)

This just shouldnt be in the same realm as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Its saddens me to think that the enthusiasm the LotR movies built up was so horribly smashed by the Hobbit movies. It was all flashy action and cheap laughs. Theres no philosophy or morale questioning at all. It's just the good guys jumping through explosions and falling through crumbling castles, laughing the whole time.
It feels like a very obvious cash grab. How could you possible make one book, less than half the size of a single LotR book, into 3 movies! Not to mention they clearly dumbed as much of it down as possible so a toddler could watch the movie.
