Another Trilogy, Why?!

Rating: 1/10 (20 January 2013)

We already have a long drawn out trilogy in Lord of the Rings and don't need another. The Hobbit should be a one off, one crack at it, one shot deal. Its to much, to long, to drawn out. Would have been better in one action packed fantasy adventure. Boring, tries to be Lord of the Rings and comes up short. Fail.
The troll scene. Make sure that the trolls talk in gangster thug British accents. Have Gandalf show up in a bright ray of hope sunshine, again and again and again. Oh how many times this gimmick can work.
Go under a mountain and everyone run away from Orcs that shoot arrows. What do you know, this trilogy is starting the play out exactly the same as the last trilogy. Just make sure that there is some sort of blow up a bridge type sequence theme type thing that leaves you on one side and the enemy on the other. Been there done that. What?!
Climb the mountain. Hey its just like Sam and Frodo did in the last movie. What do you know. Shouldn't Gandalf and that other evil version of Gandalf wizard be shooting magic rocks at each other. I never thought there could be such a thing as to much CGI. Now I know. There is. The rock giant sequence is just awkward and cheesy. The preview makes it look cool though. My god. It would have been more entertaining to actually see the actors playing make believe in front of a green screen.
Make sure at some point you stop by Elvendoor. Elf Disneyland, 7-11 elf land or whatever its called. Make sure at some point in the movie that happens.
Last but not least make sure you look ominously into the distance at mountain at the end of the movie. It has now been established as the franchise staple to be continued thing that they do.
Like I said. Would have been better as a one off, one crack at it, one shot deal, with lots of quick action and adventure. Go ahead, make it 2.5 hrs long, but sum it up in ONE movie. Fail, fail, fail.
