Full of extraneous BS

Rating: 3/10 (12 January 2015)

First off, I should say that Peter Jackson's version of The Lord of the Rings was a major disappointment to me, but at least in the beginning of that he tried. This makes my review suspect, I know, as I already have a bias, but this being the 6th movie in the larger series, there has been enough time for everyone to acquire their own perfectly valid biases.
The Hobbit movies he seems to have given up, eager to rush them out filled with all sorts of "extras" that were never part of the Hobbit story, and cutting out parts that were in the original story.
Mr Jackson is not the story teller (or reimaginer) he believes he is.
I'll need to re-read The Hobbit to get the bad taste of these movies out of my head.
