Good Movie overall but suffers MAJOR bad decisions by Peter Jackson & co

Rating: 3/10 (16 December 2012)

I liked the Hobbit AUJ but didn't enjoy it much (i'll come to why in a bit), I'm not a big fan of 3D, it confuses me & causes me strain. But HFR 3D is a leap ahead in terms of 3D Technology, a lot more comfortable to watch and Watching The Hobbit @ HFR is like looking outside your window. However, 2D might be a better experience, maybe 2D HFR, so i might rewatch it again in 2D.
The Hobbit is a good movie, make no mistake, It is not as Memorable as LOTR(possibly forgettable movie) Peter Jackson doesn't fail to visualize the movie just the way i imagined it when i read the book. However The movie Suffers from MAJOR mistakes, unfortunately i wish PETER Jackson NEVER Made, which for me ruined the experience. So why give this movie 3/10 ? Here are some very valid reasons:

Peter Jackson is confused, He wants to make the Hobbit independent of LOTR, then he tries to link it with LOTR, which ended up in a huge mess.

Peter Jackson & Co RECYCLED A lot OF LOTR soundtrack, HUGE mistake. The Hobbit OST should be THE Hobbit, but we are constantly reminded the link to LOTR movie when The hobbit is NOT LOTR, constantly we are played the exact same LOTR track

Too many REFERENCES to MODERN DAY HUMOR, one of the dwarfs uses a "YOU Don't HAVE THE BALLS FOR IT" wth PEter jackson u kidding me ? . When they are burying some gold, the dwarf says "WE R MAKING A LONG TERM DEPOSIT" again wth PEter Jackson, yeah we get it ur talking about our modern day banking system. This is just a few examples of many modern day jokes which ruin the movie. It also disconnects you.

When Thorin CHARGES Azog, PEter Jackson uses THE WITCH KING's soundtrack, why ??? That track belongs to the witch king, you have such a talented composer, use original music ! Again, poor use of recycled music ruined the move

AZOG's character design, is OUT of PLACE , he looks very cartoonish. When i saw him i immediately felt that this is not right. LOTR put in place the way ORCs look like, Peter jackson should've stuck to his original design.

Lack of blood, when orcs are sliced, no black blood , just heads falling apart.

Movie is confused between satisfying ADULT LOTR fans & being a children movie. PEter jackson should've stuck to ONE theme and made up his mind.

Humor in general is crap, when the Goblin King is slayed, he says a JOKE before dying, WTH come on PJ give us a break . Again the movie can't get a tone straight, either being serious or a light hearted movie it can't make up its mind.

Scene with trolls is great, but the trolls are shown as really funny, childish snot joke, one second the scene is humorous next second and they are being sliced at brutally, this scene was v badly done.

When Goblin King is killed, he makes a JOKE before HE DIED, wth...

Again the HUMOR is rubbish, not funny at all (most of it).

Thorin's character is a copy of Boromir, in the book they were very different but Thorin is just like Boromir in this movie, ever doubting the Hobbit till the last moment.

Radagast the brown is an unnecessarry addition, his character is a clown , totally unnecessary to make him a clown covered in bird crap.

Its about Honor & Pride one second and then its a joke another scene, big mismatch.

GANDALF uses a MOTH AGAIN to call the eagle clan (reference to LOTR), in the book he doesn't.

Overall the movie tries too hard to be LOTR, when its NOT LOTR.

I do wish Peter Jackson didn't make the mistakes and decisions that he did, he has let his fans down and he has let himself down. I wish he stayed with his formulae rather than cater to satisfying the mainstream crowd. This is Star wars episode 1 all over again.
I also hope the coming 2 movies are better, if PJ can hear his fan's feedback and remove the modern day humor, use MORE ORIGINAL OST rather than recycle LOTR OST.
