An Unexpected Failure

Rating: 6/10 (9 August 2018)

I was very excited to see this after considering The Lord of the Rings a resounding success, one of my favorite series of movies of all time!
But when I found out it was going to be a trilogy of movies, I thought "Why are they making 3 movies out of a very short introductory book to the Trilogy?"
Why, indeed?
Basically they RUINED it by making it 3 movies.
The first one is boring, the 2nd one is more boring and the 3rd one I didn't even care to see.
They took a successful idea (being faithful to Tolkien's books!) and turned it on its head and decided to invent all kinds of scenes that never existed, and make a really great short book into a way-overlong trilogy of movies!
DUMB IDEA!
If you are a kid who just likes Hobbit stuff you *might* like this. If you're an adult who loves Tolkien's books, you are almost surely going to dislike it.
My advice: Skip this one and go back and re-watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy again! Or better yet, spend your time reading the books, starting with The Hobbit!
