I really truly believe that had they made two movies instead of three they would've been praised by critics and fans alike. Nearly every problem in this trilogy stems from the fact that it's one movie too long. Also, there IS a tremendous movie in there somewhere. There are lots of gems throughout like Riddles in the Dark and Bilbo's meeting with Smaug. Basically everything from the book was good and most of what was added wasn't. It would've never compared to LotR though. The books are too different. LotR is well written fantasy fiction while The Hobbit is a relatively simplistic children's story. Another thing is cutting back on the silliness of the action scenes. They're all slapstick and it's annoying as shit to watch them. PJ really did indulge in absurdly cartoonish action. And of course every action scene goes on for five minutes too long. Barrels out of bond should've been a quick fun escape, not an extended battle sequence between dwarves, elves and orcs. And the outlandish fight between the dwarves and Smaug in Erebor never should've been made as it serves no purpose and is completely gratuitous. |
