One chapter to ruin them all.

Rating: 1/10 (10 March 2020)

I'm gonna say it, I think that line there it better than the whole movie. One chapter to ruin them all. This is the trashiest culmination of flashy, gaudy, ostentatious garbage I've ever seen. They invented a gigantic albino character to just add screen time, then make up a fictitious 45 minute battle that was just ridiculous. A book that was about dwarves reclaiming a lost heirloom and ancestral home, turned into as many over the top battled as could be squeezed in between poorly written uneducated jokes.
What makes this whole ordeal worse, and I cant explain it to save my life, is how people are giving these movies a rating of 9 and 10. Compared to the original Lord of the Rings trilogy, these arent even coming to close to a 3. And only in a world where those first 3 movies didnt exist, MAYBE! we could say these arent absolute garbage. Tolkien loved untamed wild nature, and Mckellen wept bc he didn't even get to see his companions most of the time while filming. The use of green screens is appalling.
