The end of a souless money making exercise.

Rating: 3/10 (15 January 2015)

The entire Hobbit Trilogy has left me feeling like a mug. I wouldn't have watched the last two movies at all if I hadn't caved to peer pressure and I'm annoyed at myself for condoning this tripe by handing New Line my money. My objections are the same as many others. The hobbit is a children's story its about 365 pages long. the first movie covers about the first 56 pages! then we have Legolas and other elves popping up. bizarre love stories between elves and a weirdly handsome dwarf who doesn't actually look like any other dwarf in any of the other movies. If you are going to pad out the movie then surely the white council's attack on Dol Guildor could have been developed in a far more interesting way. There were moments in this film when I thought Jackson had just accepted the franchise had gone to hell and he was mooning the audience and trying to wind hobbit fans up. Billy Coloney and Dune, I'll say no more save, "To hell with you too matey." The hobbit isn't about the book, its about money. its a Hollywood hatchet job on a good book. They are not the first studio to wreck a book, they won't be the last, but the scale of the sting and the amount of money they raked in can't make movie goers feel very clever right now. Like I said I feel like a right mug. After being dragged to the last Transformers movie and being dragged to three of these expensive wastes of my life, enough's enough. There are a few movies I fancy catching this year but I sorry dudes if I don't fancy a movie my mates want to watch then I'm not going. I'm not this big an idiot so I'm not going to go!
