The Hobbit loses Guillermo Del Toro

I still haven't seen this. Heard nothing but disappointing reviews. Such a bummer. I watch the original trilogy once a month

I could tell there would be shitty 3D filler stuff from the first bit of footage they showed. Who likes that stuff honestly? Doesn't translate well at all on home screens.

How about just watching it yourself and make up your own mind about it? Just a suggestion.

if your a fan then it will be enjoyable to be taken back there (especially with Gollum) plus it also links with LOTR a lot more it's just some parts are very filled out and it has more kids film feel about it with it not being as dark

Shielding myself from the disappointment?

I'm hoping for good things with part 2 when Bard The Bowman comes into play. I'll check it out soon. I'm just waiting for the right moment to watch it.

Part 3 should be the darkest and heaviest of the three with The Battle of Five Armies and everything.

I'm a huge Tolkien (books) fan and I mostly hated the Lotr trilogy and now that I'm a bit older and wiser I just don't connect these movies with books anymore as they rape them too cruelly.

That said I enjoy watching it for the guilty pleasure 3d enhanced dumb fun that Hobbit is.

I can't believe it's been 12 year since the first LOTR movie came out.

looks tres bad

yeah!

I thought the LOTR trilogy was good, but the Hobbitt didn't really measure up and by the looks of it the sequel will be even more bombastic. Someone should reel PJ in, he is getting awfully close to Lucas territory.

Hmmm... lots of unnecessary panning and jumping towards the camera. Looks quite pretty though.

Interesting (is that the right word) to note that since a lot of cinemas invested in the 24fps technology on the back of the first Hobbit movie, no other 24fps movies have been released since? i'm guessing this is the next one?

I thin you mean 48fps

looks like avatar 2

Yes, that is exactly what I mean. I think.

Somebody make a .gif of the elves pointing and laughing at stupid human children.

Peter Jackson admits he had no fucking clue what he was doing on The Hobbit movies, and was making it up as he went along:

Hubris? Cocaine? Burnt out?

He lost so much weight I bet it's the yayo

It was obvious from the get go that PJ had no clue wtf. The lastmovie was pretty much unwatchable.

I don't think having much more time to prepare would've made much of a difference though, I think his whole approach to the project was flawed.

why's that? the whole youtube screams "time!". why wouldn't that have made a difference? they're basically saying that because there was no time, there wasn't any approach to begin with. "his whole approach" to the lotr trilogy was vastly different. you're not arguing his approach for lotr wouldn't have worked for the hobbit, are you?

I am. Ultimately I was disappointed with LOTR, though it had it's moments. The idea of turning The Hobbit into a trilogy and adding in all the other stuff hinted at or talked about in the Silmarilion or LOTR appendices or whatever was the wrong approach. It should have been centred on Bilbo and not the Dwarves and Orcs and giant battles.
