        At best you could say partially responsible. My understanding always was that the studio brought him in last minute when del toro left (which what a piece of shit that guy is, always dropping projects). Peter comes in but can’t do the same thing he did with LOTR trilogy because of the timeline the studio was on, tons of stuff that he would have done practically became post production cgi. He looks miserable because he knew it was gonna be shit but there wasn’t much he could do.

          that's the thing, i hate the hobbit movies as much as the next guy but i do give them a pass because they should have been way worse with the dumpster fire surrounding the production. iirc, jackson had about 3 months when he signed on after del toro ratted out before they were due to start filming and they had no finished scripts, storyboards, nothing. a lot of it was just made up as they were filming
          then it sort of feels bad because it's a missed opportunity - you look at some the earlier designs they had, like for some of the orcs, and then you compare it to the cg shit in the movies and you go what the frick.

      I've heard that part of the reason it looks so fake is that most of the effects were done in post rather than pre production to save time. Compare Lotr which had a full year of preparation before shooting one frame.

        Anonymous

        the studio basically forced Jackson to take over under coercion
        MGM's financial trouble was delaying officially greenlighting the films even though they were deep in pre-production, Del Toro got sick of being jerked by the studio and the continuous delays were guaranteeing he'd miss his kids' entire childhoods so he quit in protest
        the studio asked Jackson to take over, he said they'd need to effectively restart pre-production due to the wasted time, the studio said no and insisted on the existing release window, and implied they'd hire some stooge like Bret Ratner if Jackson wouldn't do it
        the reason the set pieces look like shit and everything feels bloated and unplanned, is because they literally went in without a plan and had to wing it on the fly

        To think that what we feel when watching the hobbit is what Christopher Tolkien felt when watching the pj trilogy. Did he live to see this abomination?

        Chris only died a few years ago

            Could he really though? The studio mandated that entire shitty Elf/Dwarf romance bullshit with the "Twilight" styled non-bearded Dwarf. They literally stated in interviews that's why the two youngest dwarves didn't have beards, to draw the Twilight" crowd in to ogle the "hot" men. Twilight truly did ruin everything.

              to be fair the book is not very adaptable. You need some sort of setup for the guy that kills the dragon, and some build up for the battle of five armies. Maybe two 90s minute movies. 3 is stretching hard. Only one would feel rushed unless it was hours long.

                True. It's build up as a Dragon slaying story, then in the final part Dragon gets kill by a stray arrow, while we suddenly get a random battle out of nowhere.

                The "uniting the dwarves' kingdoms with the Arkenstone" was added so that the plot would make sense, like Bilbo's added altruistic motivation to help the dwarves get their home back. In the book, the whole burglary scheme is completely nonsensical to the point that Smaug even points it out and nearly mindcrushes Bilbo, and Bilbo's motivation is just "ADVENTURE!!!" even though the mission is barely less suicidal than Frodo's.

                A battle that we never saw in the books since Bilbo got smacked in the head and only wake up after all shit was done. The book is also super rushed from beginning to end, sometimes it feels like some parts were cut. Home-dwarves-gollum-dragon-bigbattle-homeagain!

          They pulled a lot of israeli bullshit on him basically forcing him to direct or go bankrupt. He wanted to produce only, to gave the chance to a new director and also have less work, the original trilogy nearly killed him. He worked on that for like one decade, sleeping three hours a day during shootings and so on.

          Also that anon forgot to tell the whole cast was fricked by the delay, that's why people like McKellen, Cumberbath and Freeman did shit all during the Hobbit years, they had to keep a free slot in their schedules for the Hobbit movies which basically forbid them to work.

      I think the problem is that Hollywood in general will not make movies with low stakes. It's not enough to go on a journey to get treasure, there have to be orcs hunting the characters every step of the way. Same problem that Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie had. It's not enough to explore cool islands, there has to be an overarching giant threat where the white witch comes back again.

      you can tell PJ liked the effect because he did an in-camera version during scenes in LOTR, being all-digital on the hobbit made it too easy to just add it everywhere
      the 4K remaster actually looks vastly better, since it was mastered at 24 fps (PJ having long conceded high-frame-rate was a failed gimmick) everything blends more naturally and even the green screen stuff doesn't look as bad

    the goblin cave scene is much worse.

      Everytime I see the goblin cave scene I immediately compare it to Moria in FotR. None of the goblins feel threatening in the slightest compared to the original trilogy. The only good part in the last half of the movie is Bilbo meeting Gollum. Frick, it's like the only good part at all. It takes them like an hour just to get out of the shire.

        Only seen the M4 edit; I refuse to believe this is real.

          The Maple Edit also has one of the GoPro scenes and I don't know why.

    Does anyone have the test footage version of this scene that looks like a GameCube cutscene?

    It takes a higher than average intelligence to appreciate the LotR movie adaptions.

    >oh no barrels the movie is ruined
    Peter Jackson has ideas once in a while that just don’t work out (brontosauruses, barrels) but it’s not like this one kind of dumb sequence ruins the movie.
    What I thought was stupider than anything at this part was that Legolas gets killed TWICE in like 30 seconds but is saved once by Thorin Oakenshield and again by the girl from Lost. Like come on Legolas fricking look alive buddy.

      I tried listening to Andy Serkin's reading. What an insufferable homosexual he is. Just read the book Andy.

        I legit enjoyed Andy's readings, EXCEPT for the Treebeard bits in Two Towers. a literal 45 minute stretch of him speaking in the worst most obnoxious voice imaginable
        him doing Gollum but with Tolkien's original dialog was worth the price of admission
