Reprise from L.O.T.R. just collecting more money from audience

Rating: 5/10 (25 December 2014)

Peter Jackson's Hobbit has been gorgeous to watch, even it has been too recursive. I think it would be better if studio would change director to Guillermo Del Toro as they first intend to do so. It should give a little bit different angle to story. Now Hobbit seems to be a reprise from Lord of the Rings. Also to cut up a quite short book to three chapters feels like just making more profit out of it. Now Battle of Five Armies feels just over length end battle and main character, Bilbo Baggins stay more like a statistic in this movie. HFR brings staging out brilliantly, but the same time it feels more like a theater staging and it doesn't look any more realistic. Most of film is just digitally effect rumble and that left the story too lame. 3D works well as it should be in any animation filming. Beautiful to watch but too over length story telling. It is shame that studio wanted to collect money too much from the fans of movie series. I don't wonder why the heirs of Tolkien's don't want to give any more stories to film, especially if Peter Jackson is involved with it. Hopefully they give rights to some another studio to film more stories from Middle-earth and audience will get more and better stories to watch.
