I just got back from seeing the Hobbit and I can't remember a movie that I was more disappointed in. I am sure that much of this disappointment is due to the choices that Peter Jackson made in this movie. Some of it though is just let down that a movie that had such promise and hype didn't live up to my expectations. Beyond the visual appeal of the movie, I thought the story was week and at times I couldn't wait for it to be over.
During the Lord of the Rings there were times that I did not agree with some of the choices that Peter Jackson made. But at least during that Trilogy, he was not just pulling a story out of his ass. During the Hobbit, he just decided to make up stories that weren't there to make the movie more exciting. I was skeptical when I heard that they were going to make the story a trilogy and was even more so when I heard that they were creating the character of an female elven warrior to give the story more appeal with the female audience. That was not even in the first movie so I have more things to look forward to being pissed about if I decided to even see the next movie and that is not a given. Some of the choices that he made completely changed the characters and not for the better.
Not looking forward to the next installment of this crap.
