The Hobbit
- Thread starter CallsignSam
- Start date
Gave up halfway through the last one. Really enjoyed the LOTR but thought the Hobbit is very poor indeed.
I have to say LOTR has influenced the last 40 / 50 years of Fantasy an Sci-Fi.... but it's just ******* bad the fimls made it interesting and had the odd moment but for the most part sucked. I know this isn't a popular opinion but most fantasy writing since has been tainted by his ideas and it's weakened the genera as a medium. Now I am BIAS about this but the best SCI-FI universe has all the magic an all the mech without polluting it's self Nipponese crap. Even in the surrielest jap stuff it just looks an sounds bad, but a english company back in the dark ages of the 80's made a game that was pure distilled awsome. Knights, Humans of all types and a really nice mix of aliens (that continues to this day if you discunt one jap freak who got a job an made the Tau weebo commies) that few people play (For good reason they are OP SUCK).
Hell you like your knights VS ORK's in mordoor, read anything from the HH series about Chondax,Like your evil kin stuff Well I have a offer for you....

I'm not going to see it - the last one was so bad I turned it off and went to bed. I'm certainly not wasting any time on another one
Hobbit series is OK for what it is. Of course a small budget Hobbit single film could have got closer to the spirit of the book. I would have liked to see more of Bilbo walking through the countryside as did Tolkien who was imbued with the Donnish walking and talking spirit of his age.
I think we are finding gold here, more people think LOTR sucks donkey balls than likes it. Interesting very interesting.
Title seems to clash with sone Game of Thrones stuff...
Battle of the 5 armies.... War of the 5 kings....... Game of thrones kicks this things bottom....

I will not be seeing this film. I loath what Jackson, dubbed "Hackson" by fans of Tolkien, has done to Tolkien's work. I enjoyed the Lord of the Rings, but have slowly come to dislike many aspects of those films. I saw the first Hobbit film and was so disappointed that I have not seen DoS, nor will I see this third instalment.
It's a cold and calculated, cgi-fest cash grab. Shame.

Ditto.I'm trying to decipher this...
I really really have no idea what japan has to do with the lotr or the hobbit.
I'm fairly sure "jap freak" is rather offensive... But let's not derail this otherwise sensible thread.
He span a 1000 page book into 3 films and then he span a 150 page book into 3 films. If he wanted more stories he should have gone to the silmarillion! That is just an overview not a novel!
