Hype yes, but not much after that

Rating: 1/10 (16 December 2012)

Its always sad when money beats art, but its just not understandable when people like Jackson (like Lucas before him), who already have made more than enough money, are still greedy enough to choose money over art.
Sadly "the Hobbit" is exactly that what I feared. 1. Money-grabbing-machine and 2. There just is no story for 9 hours of film. Heck, there is not enough story for one 90-minute-movie.
And yesterday I saw the horrible result of this combination. Every Tolkien-Fan will be disappointed, every LOTR-Fan wont care anymore after watching the first movie(or maybe after you read this, you wont even go see the first) and everyone else will probably leave the theatre before the movie ends(like some people did at my local theatre).
So, Jackson has destroyed his name, Im not sure if the Studio gets their money back, the actors look ridiculous(so they can forget a Hollywood-career) and its not even their fault.
You see - everybody loses here. The Director, the Writer, the Actors, the Studios and most important WE lose, the Audience or the Fans.
