The Hobbit movies are great so far, so unnecessary, but still super enjoyable. I just need to forget that a book for them ever existed. Then I like them more. However I'm not sure if this is because they haven't been out as long, but I've only rewatched the first Hobbit movie once. I rewatch LOTR on like a monthly basis. So I dunno. I really hope the Hobbit movies age as well as LOTR did.<br /><br />On that note, I think LOTR was made at the best time in the special effects development era. As you say, it's gritty and realistic and doesn't feel computery. And that's because a lot of it wasn't back in the LOTR days. Now, way too much of it is.

I love anything LOTR. The originals are, in my opinion, one of the Top 3 trilogies of all time. So obviously, I was excited when I found out The Hobbit was going to get a film adaption, but I worried they would suffer from "Star Wars Prequels" Syndrome. They haven't reached that level, thankfully, but they could have been really really good. Part 2 was a significant improvement over the first, but still suffered some of the same problems. It has been a good, but flawed journey so far.<br /><br />Regards,<br />CGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553633213256417629.post-72562318971608628232013-12-18T11:57:04.683-05:002013-12-18T11:57:04.683-05:00i think you're the last to know.i think you're the last to know.Eric Fuchs (BlueHighwind)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10520427554161808399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553633213256417629.post-12873774819819323362013-12-18T11:13:31.625-05:002013-12-18T11:13:31.625-05:00Are you serious?

Fluff this noise, I like & respect Peter Jackson and all, but I'll just stick to the book and 1970's acid drop cartoon thank you very much.Uzukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15774827099493056981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553633213256417629.post-30958571423413834712013-12-17T16:26:06.997-05:002013-12-17T16:26:06.997-05:00Kili/Kate was the laziest romantic subplot NA.
