joepattaya1961 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 It's not an answer to the question, but I went to see The Hobbit last weekend. Can someone please explain what is good about the movie......for sure not the story. Great shots and great effects, but the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Unlike the book of the Lord of the Rings (of which a large amount was not even included in the three-part eight-hour film version due to it being too long and complex), the Hobbit is a short book with a relatively simple story. Without the special effects and battles it would be hard to make it span even one two-hour film. In a way it's a shame that Peter Jackson didnt do the Hobbit first as a two-parter (as originally intended) and then follow it with the three-part Lord of the Rings (or even turn the LOTR into a four-parter). That would have made the pace about the same in both (the Hobbit drags badly in places), and would have made the stories much more satisfying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) The Hobbit, like the Hunger Games (possibly the worst movie of 2014, right up there with After Earth), is simply a financial vehicle for creatively bankrupt movie studios to generate cash. There is virtually no content, no message, no inherent philosophy, no real storytelling, and nothing in the way of good writing, or screenplays. Just a lot of money spent on morally bankrupt, multi billion dollar movie franchises. If these studios went after some of the talent that is propelling HBO, Showtime, and some of the other cable channels into creative juggernauts, that produce wonderful projects that are made for the adult mind, they might be able to slow this decline into creative oblivion. The U.S. Studios are slowly going downhill, and the frequency at which they create truly great movies is stunningly low. It is the independents, and the cable channels that are taking over that mantle. It is almost a rule of thumb now, that if the movie is made by a big American studio, it is more than likely absolute garbage. Ridiculously low quality, action drivel. Think Transformers, Iron Man 3, the 300 sequel, Pompeii, Hercules, Noah, Expendables 3, Sabotage. Need I go on? Truly mind numbingly bad movies, made by bloated movie studios, that barely have one nanogram of creativity in the entire organization. The best thing about the Hobbit movies is Martin Freeman. That guy can act. He is a pleasure to watch. He is capable of anything. And they at least wrote him as a decent hero, unlike the pathetic characters of Spider-Man, and so many other wimpy, whiney super heroes.
