          My opinion of the Hobbit trilogy has grown more positive over the years, but there are still many fast forward moments in it. The dwarf gang is great.

            I rewatched it recently and the biggest issue is definitely pacing, in both directions. It somehow manages to both drag on for way too long, while simultaneously going too fast.
            Everything else about the movies are great. Absolutely love the voice of the dragon, especially at the end of movie 2.

                Speaking of the Hobbit cartoon. The Gollum character in this movie is underrated. I like his bipolar voice/behavior. He seems less cunning, but more unpredictable compared to the Jackson trilogy Gollum.

          when Rangs was coming out there were a ton of "The Hobbit trilogy wasn't THAT bad, you guys" posts here. Keep in mind those movies came out a decade ago, so some Anons who can post here saw those movies when they were kids/pre-teens and have nostalgia goggles on for them.
          Only the first movie is halfway decent, and Bilbo's confrontation with Smaug in the second movie is the only scene in the next two movies worth a shit. Battle of the Five Armies might be one of the ugliest and nonsensical movies ever made. It's an awful trilogy and it's painful to see them get the prequel treatment.

      I wouldn't call it cheap. But yes, it's a movie meant for children/young adults and the adults of today love it because they grew up with it, just like Star Wars for boomers. The original Star Wars movies were great for its time, but objectively middling to the actual great movies that have come out in the decades after it.

    I just rewatched the entire trilogy a few days ago. It's still excellent, and a 10/10 trilogy. The cast is perfect, the music is perfect, the action is perfect, you care about all of the characters and so much of the dialog works so well. "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!!!"

    Saw it home on TV with my Dad, after the hype was all over.
    Sam and Frodo are gay homosexual homos.
    Maybe they weren't intended to be, but the direction and the close shots made them too intimate.
    Men don't act like that.
    They do show emotion under extreme duress, but it's usually very subdued. That could have been used in the film in order to signify the weight of the situation.
    Then again, the hobbits were written to be little west-country englanders conscripted into the hellish meatgrinder that was WW1. Portraying them losing it Nic Cage style wouldn't have fittted the tone of the movie.
    Still as it is, it's gay.

    It's also both rushed and very boring at the same time. The books had a lot of exposition that you simply had to cut from a cinematic release. Even so, they films had an unusually long runtime for the time period.
    You can feel both problems eating into the movie. You get the feeling that a lot is being skipped and omitted, which it is, but the things that are being adapted faithfully feel slow, since that's the pacing of the original work.
    Normies eat that shit up, since they don't read and have no taste.

    Chosen of Moloch Bezos, could have blasted the budget of the shitty Amazon dumpster fire on a 3 season TV show, that could have fleshed out the LoTR books, properly. Nice and slow pacing, keep all the shit in, Tom Bombadil and all.

    Black person tastes and opinions need not apply, if you want your gay goy sloppa suck it from the fetid anus of Marvel.

    My only criticism of the trilogy is that they cut some very fricking good scenes.
    Christopher Lee's death scene, although completely different from the book, was fricking boss and should have stayed in.

    I've got rips of the movies (135gb/movie) saved on my servers and play them annually for Christmas or NY eve when whole family gathers. In playlist there are only movies with no or minimum amount of Black folk. Everyone is always happy with my choices.

    With rarbg down, I'm expecting more trouble with finding rips of older movies. But I'll do my best to get enough of them so that in the future I wont have to watch a single minute of AI assisted niggrified editions of my favorite movies.

    Hackson fricked up the scene where Gandalf confronts the Witch King at the Gates of Minas Tirith.
    Only big change I can think of that wasn't just streamlining a book into a 3 hour movie.
