The Hobbit Trilogy - Why It Sucks

In my last video we talked about The Lord of the Rings

trilogy

, widely accepted as the best film ever made, Oscar winning, influential, respected and loved by all, ask anyone who has seen these films nine times out of ten, will say it. You say you love them and honestly there's only one thing wrong with these movies, they're owned by Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers was like damn that property that we own that is loved and respected by everyone, let's try to make some more money and obviously they were trying to make a Hobbit movie work for years, they even hired Guillermo del Toro to direct it, honestly, it was a perfect choice, it really seems like a pretty good idea so far, I mean, it's the prequel to The Series, right, but then Del Toro? dropped out but now Peter Jackson is back to take over and he did a good job the first time but then greed set in the powers that be wanted to recapture the magic of the original

trilogy

and how did they want to do it right?

By giving the director more time and resources to create his Vision, they now decided to force it into a Trilogy, why did they go and do it now? In case you didn't know, The Hobbit is one book and it's not very long. It's not particularly complex and when I heard it would be several films I was very confused because unlike the original trilogy, I read The Hobbit and I love it, it's a lovely little character study and Bilbo Baggins is one of my favorite fictional ones. characters One thing I think everyone can agree on is that this book doesn't really fit into a trilogy, maybe you can make it work in two movies, but three is crazy, so how do you fill so much time with so little material? ?

I'll tell you how to make up for the comparison: the first Dune book is about 188,000 words, and that story fits pretty well into two movies. I know the second one isn't out yet, but after reading the book, it's a safe bet on what's going on. being in it in comparison The Hobbit is 95,000 words and they decided to make it into three movies, this is even funnier when you consider the fact that Fellowship is about twice as long and only needed one movie, so when people say, well, The Hobbit was You know, there are too many things to do, it needs more than one movie.

I disagree because there is already an animated Hobbit movie and it's actually pretty good, it's much better than the Lord of the Rings animated movie and it does a decent job of fitting everything into 90 minutes, that's great, there's no stuffed. If they had given Peter Jackson three hours and a movie, I really think he would have done well, but now one movie wasn't enough. We want to recapture the magic of the Oscar-winning trilogy and the resulting films. They are, shall we say, certainly different, it is something unpleasant that I have experienced in my life, many people say that when you see the Lord of the Rings trilogy for the first time, they seem to get better and better with each movie.

I would say they are The Hobbit movies. they are the complete opposite, they feel like they get a little worse, they start out good but in the end the story is completely made up of unnecessary things, the movies are so bloated because they had to invent a lot of new things to make it into a trilogy. So let's dig in and see how shameless these movies really are. This movie stars Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, a regular guy who just wants to get high and eat muffins all day and then a mysterious wizard shows up at his house and says, "Hey, me." I need you to come with me, you're going with these dwarves to drive a dragon out of his house and Bilbo says, I don't really want to do that, but he does it anyway and that's basically the plot of The Hobbit, it's very simple. and for what it's worth, this first movie isn't that bad because it just sticks to the book at least for the most part and has a lot of problems, but those problems become more frequent later on, so first I'll To be kind I'll Let's talk about what I like and number one is Bilbo.

The Hobbit Martin Freeman is perfect as a younger Bilbo. He encapsulates the character so well. I love all of his usual type mannerisms, and even when these movies are at their lowest point, if Bilbo has a scene, it's usually the best scene in the movie because it's like the main story of Fish Out of Water, it's about a normal guy in abnormal circumstances and Martin Freeman has been playing that role his entire career, so honestly. He is a perfect Bilbo in the best scenes of the book The Hobbit are the ones where Bilbo is alone and has to solve a problem and the best parts of these movies are those same moments.

Bilbo's game with Gollum is the best scene in this movie. They're just two solid performances bouncing off each other and now the problem lies in the fact that outside of this movie, Bilbo isn't really the main character of the trilogy and the issue is Bilbo's entire character, the arc in the book where he learns not to be. a stick in the mud and he learns to live the adventure and become a little hero. It's all just in this first movie, for some reason the speed of the story accelerates the development and at the end of the first movie it ends with his entire character arc.

So throughout the two sequels, Bilbo is simply hanging out with dwarves who definitely have no development of their own. Yes, I should probably talk about how all the dwarves accompanying Bilbo in his search for him are 13 dwarves who want their mountain home back. the evil dragon and while let's say calling them characters is fine, let's say it's a little dishonest and you might think well how the hell are you supposed to characterize 13 dwarves and I mean, it's actually not hard to do, you're telling me that in three ? movies it's very difficult to characterize 13 dwarves in the original trilogy, we have nine main characters who are not that far from 13.

We don't need full character arcs for all of them in the Lord of the Rings trilogy Legolas isn't much of a character Arc, but he is still a beloved character. Alternatively, I have no idea what this guy's name is. I don't know his personality or character traits and he's in all three movies and I don't expect all the dwarves to matter right away, but in three movies I at least expect to feel something when they start getting killed and in the original book to know that there are 13 dwarves doesn't really distract you because you can't see them on the screen in a movie, it's much more distracting when every scene makes me think who is that guy, honestly tell me what this dwarf's name is.

I'll give you five seconds. His name is Beaufort. Beaufort is not and this is a personal complaint but some of the dwarves don't look like dwarves and I don't like that dwarves need big beards, it's the worst with Thorin, I get it, they wanted to make him look like Aragorn, they want him to be sexy. I don't care, I don't like it, he needs more beard. Don't look at this guy and see the leader of the dwarves. I see a sexy fantasy hero, look at this and tell me which of these two characters is a dwarf.

He's this, the normal guy, but anyway, the beginning of this movie tries. to do the same thing as the previous Lord of the Rings movies, he wants to start with some background, sets the tone and does it very poorly. I commended Fellowship for packing a lot of exposition into a well-done montage. I really appreciate the brevity, but this is just an extended flashback and honestly, this is all we could have been told naturally over the course of the film. This movie covers less information in a clumsier way. The introductory path to Fellowship lasts eight minutes. The introduction to The Hobbit is. 15 minutes, so yeah, not really the best start, it's a little disappointing considering how much I love the opening scenes of the previous trilogy and another thing that comes with the territory of any prequel is that the movie loves to remind you of things that you may remember. from the other movies, remember when Gandalf used his creepy voice in a thematically appropriate moment, well now he just does it again and no it's not thematically appropriate, he just does it because you remember he did it in the other movie and you remember the gang sound of those movies. well they are mostly reused here, there aren't actually that many new compositions and it's a shame because the few that were made specifically for this movie are really good, like the dwarves theme song is one of the best and most appropriate themes throughout the film. series, but other than that and some other compositions, we use music that people remember.

Thorin is about to do an epic Last Stand, but let's add the song of the wights, the song about evil ghosts. You know, this song has the right lyrics and the lyrics don't match and the special effects really are a shadow of their former glory to begin with, everything is green screen, now even them riding horses outside is green screen. There's also that infamous story about Ian McKellen breaking down in tears on set because he was forced to perform completely alone in this green prison. Oh, okay, it was so nerve-wracking and difficult that I thought I don't want to do this movie if this is what I'm going to have to do and for some reason everything has this.

Strange bright shine and makes everything look cheap. It's especially bad when they bring in one of the actors from the other movies and have to add this Snapchat filter over their faces to smooth out their wrinkles. Look how strange Frodo looks and no. You're worried that we might see the same effect in all movies. Really the most disappointing aspect of the effects is that the production team didn't have access to the mountains of props and practical resources again. I don't want to blame PJ for everything she did. he just didn't have the resources to make this trilogy the same way he did before so now they just have to rely on CGI and it's a shame the Orcs look so good in the original trilogy, each one of them looks so unique and now They are all CGI and you have to look at the Orcs for a long time because they are really the ones who push them into this narrative because in the book of The Hobbit the Orcs are not that important, they are just one of the many temporary obstacles to the group, but hey, we have to add conflict and again I'm going to go into that more in the next movie because as much as I complain, a lot of these problems don't become big problems until the next movie, the positive aspects of this.

The movie makes it easier to ignore these things and there are many positives at this point in the trilogy. There isn't a ton of invented original content. These movies are good, I mean a lot of the dialogue in the opening scenes is taken directly from the books. This movie also has a lot of nice moments with Gandalf and Bilbo, who I think are probably the strongest characters in the trilogy. Of the childhood adventure you'd expect from The Hobbit is present here for the most part, this film has a much lighter tone than the rest of The Lord of the Rings and I love that they actually sing the songs, which adds to the book of stories.

Vibe and I like action to be fun and inventive. I really appreciate that the dwarves don't fight like any other character we've seen before, they have their own style, for example the community members fight in a very specific way. For each individual, Gimli simply crushes his enemies like a barbarian because that makes sense to him. Aragorn is like a man at arms that he can fight like anything, he uses a lot of improvised weapons which shows that you can give him anything to fight with and he is equally dangerous and then we have Legolas who is the anime character, but all the dwarves fight each other, throw weapons at each other, do little combos, it's like a fighting game, it's very creative and most importantly, it suits them.

We see this from the beginning. the scene where they are washing dishes the fact that they do housework the same way they kill monsters that's very clever that's a nice touch I really wish this wasn't the only way we saw his character shine, but I will Take it, this movie also has a lot of creative images. I like the transition between old Bilbo and young Bilbo and I really like how the logo has a little smoke ring behind it that emulates the one ring. There are also some narrative choices that I think work. a little better here, I like that Bilbo has the opportunity to decide if he wants to go on the adventure or not, he has to make the active decision and I think that is much better for his Arc character.

I also like that they put effort into Proving that Bilbo really likes hanging out with elves and he doesn't need to say it out loud, kid. I love it here, you can tell by looking at him in these short scenes where he's just vibing and it makes sense because later in his life. Bilbo continues to live with the elves, little details like this didn't need to be added, but they improve the overall picture a little. I also like the elf song. I think leprechauns should be in every movie, so yeah, this is definitely the song. The easiest Hobbit movie to enjoy because a lot of the things people hate about these movies either aren't a big deal yet or just haven't been added yet toFor me, this is the only time any of these movies feel like they're a part of the Lord of the Rings franchise, so I'll give this one a rating of 10.

Let's get to the real thing now. I think I hate this movie in a bad mood, but watching this movie put me in a bad mood, whatever hope I might have had. for this trilogy has been completely removed, if you ask me this is where these movies really start to show their true colors because like I said the last movie already covered Bilbo's entire character arc and unfortunately we don't have much ground for this story to cover being the middle part of the book this movie only has a few story beats to adapt the only things that happen in this part of the book are the following: the dwarves are captured by spiders, the dwarves are arrested by the elves and the dwarves go to the mountain, that's all, we don't even kill. smog in this movie we just need to know about it, that's not much for a story, so this is where PJ and the team really started to make amends in the last movie, they really just added the new bad orc and some other details. but that's not enough, we need more OCs in the original story.

Gandalf leaves the party periodically in the adventure because he is a wizard and he is mysterious and he has to do it. He's also too strong, so he would solve his problems too quickly, but oh well. We need content for the movie so let's ruin the mystery and see what he was up to, so in this movie he is hunting the Necromancer who is secretly Sauron, yes Sauron doesn't appear in The Hobbit and there are several reasons why this doesn't. First of all, he works for me. The Hobbit is not The Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit is a silly, silly bedtime fairy tale.

The Hobbit is basically a collection of bedtime stories that Tolkien told his children and it reads like this. This is the story of how. Bilbo saved the dwarves from the trolls this is how Bilbo saved the dwarves from the Spiders this is how Bilbo saved the dwarves from prison but dad, can the dwarves do anything on their own? No, and Tolkien didn't really have Lord of the Rings all the way. He fixed it when he wrote The Hobbit, the one ring was just a cool magic ring that Bilbo found and then he rebuilt it and didn't make it much more important and that works, but when you read the book it's just some kind of ring that they don't know about. . they talk about how it's literally the most evil thing ever created, they don't talk, they talk about the Dark Lord who created it, that would ruin the vibe because this is a fun bedtime fairy tale, but you have other prizes, the ring, oh yeah , I will keep it.

We used it as a souvenir in a glass box and on the mantel, so here's the problem, unfortunately we made the epic, dark, bloody, harrowing, heartbreaking fantasy trilogy before making the predecessor, so instead of committing to making The Hobbit, they tried to just make the Hobbit a Lord. Of the Rings we needed to be a Trilogy and we need world-ending threats, this Trilogy constantly tries to balance childish fantasy. The fantasy of the book with this one, you might think it's a small-scale adventure. The dwarves and Bilbo go to the mountain. stop the dragon and take back his home, but no, now in this trilogy, this is one of the most important things that has ever happened and that's why Sauron needs to get involved, he's only here because he also leads the bad guy in The Lord of the Rings and this is the prequel to The Lord of the Rings oh wait, the executives gave us notes they said we needed even more characters uh I don't know I mean we have 13 dwarves can we give characters to some of them?

No, it's okay, Legolas is here now. People like Legolas, right. I guess people like Legolas, but here's my best version of this video. I think he is the worst member of the Fellowship in all the movies. He is easily the least convincing of them all. He barely has any lines. He sits there making the same face like bro, you're literally about to die, could you pretend to care? I've heard it's better in books and that's great, okay, but I don't read books for nerds, I read books for adults. and I give Orlando Bloom a pass in this trilogy because he was a kid, this was his first gig and I've seen him do better, but he's not better in The Hobbit, he's really bland.

I wouldn't even say it's entirely his fault. I didn't really give him anything to do other than fight and uh, we also put some CGI on his face because it's been like a decade since we've seen this guy, why are you here? Man, you're so old, where's your wife? go home to your family dude oh wait Warner said we need more new characters I mean again we have 13 dwarves okay whatever Kate from Lost is here now is a brand new original character her name is toriel and you know what, okay. The Hobbit has literally zero women in this story, it's kind of a sausage fest.

I'm not even totally against adding someone new, but you might be wondering what her role in this story can be, no you never will, you'll never wonder because from her first scene you know she's here to be the one. love interest for a dwarf, it's immediately apparent that she's just here to be in a love triangle and you know when I read The Hobbit I thought this is pretty good, but she really needs love. triangle, I could have anything under my pants or nothing that was a Lord of the Rings joke. Imagine Tolkien reading that part to his children and really the worst thing about this movie is that it is boring, at least the last movie was.

It's not boring, this movie is unbearable, especially if you're watching the extended version if you're wondering that the extended version adds extra scenes for the human characters like the mayor and Alfred. Who is Alfred? Oh, don't worry, we'll get to Alfred later. the only time this movie tries to chase away our boredom is in the infamous barrel sequence. Now the biggest problem with the action scenes in this trilogy is that they just don't know when to quit. I liked the elf's escape from the last movie. At first, after a while, it just keeps going and it gets more and more outlandish and it gets to the point where it doesn't even feel like a movie anymore, it feels like a piece of an Uncharted game and the main piece of this movie.

It's the barrel scene in the book Bilbo and the dwarves travel in barrels down the river to escape the elves and that's it, but in this movie no, that's not enough, so now we have to show up the Orcs and try to kill to the dwarves and The elves also show up and want to stop the dwarves, but they also hate the orcs a little more, so it's just a bunch of people fighting each other and then for some reason there's shitty GoPro footage, It's like we're in Splash. Mountain and really the most distracting thing about these action sequences is that your suspension of disbelief is completely destroyed.

The characters in this movie are immortal, they survive the craziest and as a result there is rarely tension in this movie and that's kind of One of the biggest problems with the prequels is that we know that Legolas is not going to die, we know that Bilbo is not going to die and that does not mean that there cannot be tension in a film where we know the outcome, we all know that Gollum is not going to die. eating Bilbo, but that doesn't mean that scene isn't intense because the scene is well written, it was written by someone who knows what they're doing, so the longer these scenes go on where the characters are never in danger and never taking any damage, it just makes me not care, why would I care if they never run into any kind of obstacle and after this we have a very boring long plot?

I was actually very surprised to see how much film there is. We leave it at this point because nothing happens in this part of the movie, but hey, we have to extend everything over two hours and yes, I think it's a very good idea to make Bard a real character because ultimately he will be the guy who kills the dragon. It doesn't hurt to give him something more to do in this movie, but I really don't need to spend more screen time watching his family drama. I don't need to see his rivalry with the mayor and I don't need to see pointless antics with the mayor and his man's servant again, we'll get to it later, but after all, Bilbo and the dwarves finally go to the mountain and we can get our only scene that is mostly good, Bilbo and Smaug, very similar to the last film.

The best scene is the one taken directly from the book where Bilbo talks to a monster. It's more or less exactly the same seed as the book and that's why it stands out as good. I think it's hilarious how Benedict gets into this role. Cumberbatch had my man in a mocap suit grinding his pussy on the floor. He seems funny, but I have to give him props. He is giving 200 percent effort to play a dragon. I have to respect that it's kind of interesting because this footage allowed the effects team. I created a pretty good model for the smog in this scene, but I think this was the only scene they had that mocap for because later in the movie, for some reason, the smog just looks like look at this shot, this is CGI without ending in The worst thing is that it looks like Merlin's dragon and as good as this scene with Smog and Bilbo is, scenes like this remind me that we don't really spend much time with smog in this trilogy and we extend it until the next movie where everything that has to do is die, it's a little strange and anticlimactic, they had Doctor Strange grinding his balls into the ground, so we can give more screen time to Alfred and the mayor, but we can't give him a little more smog.

To work again, this should have only been two movies, you can make smog a small but effective footnote in a larger story because with all this filler, the climax of this movie is just a bunch of scenes that They invented because there is no climax. In this part of the story there is no epic battle at Helms Deep, so the final conflict of the movie is that the dwarves decide to confront the smog, which they don't do in the book, but you know what I understand, they make the main characters confront each other. the enemy is fine, I can accept this, however, their master plan involves smog dowsing on molten gold and is just another one of those extended action video game sequences where our characters are totally immortal and can accomplish crazy feats, the fact that smog can't kill. a bunch of dwarves makes it seem a lot less intimidating and this seems that way too, but don't worry because this isn't the only conflict we have in the climax while all that is going on, we have Feelie Keeley Owen and Beaufort Deez Nuts in Lake Town. even though they're not supposed to be there, they're here because earlier Keeley received a wound from a morgul arrow, yes, the evil enchanted metal that causes Frodo to almost die and turn into a ringwraith, which the ghoul king elite uses now. they're only giving it to the normal orcs so the normal orc shot Keeley and now she's dying so Sauron sends the orcs to finish off the dwarves because he thinks Thorin and the dwarves are in Lake Town .

Now, first of all, I just have to say no. I don't know why Sauron has problems with a couple of dwarves, I feel like he would have something else in mind and although the mountain that Thorne's company wants to reach is right next to Lake Town and logically it is the next place that the dwarves would want . go, that's not where the bad guys look, and also Legolas and Toriel show up to help, so now the dwarves who aren't supposed to be here have to fight the Orcs who aren't supposed to be here with the help of a a guy who isn't even in this book and a woman who is invented for this story solely so that one of the dwarves can have an attractive elf girlfriend and the elves who aren't supposed to be here have to cure the dwarf who is this.

He's not supposed to be here because he has an evil magical wound that he shouldn't have because bad guys aren't supposed to be here. They had evil magic weapons that weren't supposed to be given by the missing bad guy. even in this story, oh and uh, also who is that guy and it would be one thing if some of this made up content was interesting, but it's not in the last video. I didn't really complain about the changes they made to the movies. because I don't care about changes made for a better overall image, I care when changes are made out of desperation to add artificial conflicts and bring in characters purely for fan service and to stretch a movie far beyond its release time. execution.

The changes are not made in the service of a better story, they are made to lengthen the film. Legolas and Sauron being in this trilogy adds nothing to the story of Bilbo Baggins The Hobbit. I don't even think Bilbo knows Legolas and this movie really made me realize how this Trilogy is, it's nothing like the source material and it doesn't even feel like it belongs in the Series as a whole. In my last video, I spent a lot of time praising the simple and effective aspects ofStorytelling in the original trilogy and it's because of things like this that it's clearly not easy to pace a three hour movie properly, even the guy who got it right three times in a row can't keep up under these circumstances, so yeah, this one movie

sucks

.

I don't like it and I don't think I'll watch it again so I'm going to give it a bad rating out of 10. Let's see if things can get worse so we're finally at the final movie, The Last Lord of the Rings movie that we've seen and honestly , it's as bad as the last one. I had actually never seen this movie until I made this video. I wasn't convinced it would be worth it, so I haven't seen it. until today and I couldn't even rent this movie, I had to buy it. Now I have this, wait a minute, rated R for kids.

If I were to say that the last movie didn't have a lot of things to adapt, this is the one I really took it too far because this whole section of the book is just smog that dies immediately and then Bilbo sleeps during the final battle, so how can you convert that in a movie? This movie basically exists to resolve all the made up threads. what they have set up to begin with, the smog dies right before the title comes out and now the dwarves got their mountain back, that's really nice, but everyone's a little mad about it, so now they have to have a battle for an entire movie , so here are the main players, the Five Armies are as follows: The number one army, the dwarves and Bilbo, as I said, Bilbo is not supposed to really be a factor in this battle in the book, Tolki makes a point to show that this whole conflict is stupid.

I just don't understand the war and yes, Bilbo doesn't sleep through the whole thing, but he doesn't really have much to do in this movie. There's a certain point in this movie where I forgot Bilbo was in it. I just want to remind you real quick in case you don't know that this movie is called The Hobbit now with the Dragon slain the dwarves finally finished their Quest they got their home back it's not that nice no it's not nice because now Thorin is infected with something called dragon sickness, oceanic madness, he loves his gold and wants it all for himself, but everyone else wants the gold too.

It's the Middle Earth gold rush, baby, remember how we were shown the corrupting influence of the Ring naturally? the course of the other trilogy, yeah, let's make up a fantasy illness that makes him act crazy and a little gay, okay, you win with your gay stuff, that's what you want, right to win and none of the midgets are really happy with this. No one here is having a good time and wait, why is Bilbo taller than him? Army number two are the elves who have this age old problem with the dwarves. Lee Pace is the king of the elves and he wants this little gay necklace that Thorin and Thorn have.

Hey, it's my necklace, you can't have it, so now the elves want to make a war disclaimer. This necklace is only shown and talked about once in this movie and then we never hear about it or see it ever again and along with the elves I have the stupid love triangle between the elf who is not in this story Keely the dwarf and another elf who is not supposed to be here Keeley just professed his love tutorial after meeting her like a day I think it was like a day but he tells her that he loves her and gives her a beautiful gift and that doesn't it's good because Legolas also has a crush on her because because army number three is the CGI Orcs, the big bad White Orc has this ongoing grudge with Thorin and the other one has problems with Legolas because they like to fight in the latest movie or something like that.

I don't know, they just need things for Legolas to do. I don't know what to tell you, they also want to participate in the battle and they are told to do this by Sauron, who again I cannot emphasize enough why he is here. Don't you have to make army number four? It's the humans, they just destroyed their city because of the smog, so Bard walks up to Thorin and says: Hello Thorin, since you woke up the dragon and ruined our house, could we have some cash? And Bilbo says: Yes, Thorin, we made a deal with them.

How about we give some money to our good friends? this subplot would have been fine, it makes more sense that Bard did everything he could to help the dwarves and now Thorn is being a jerk so of course they would be mad at them, this makes a lot of sense except for some reason, the human plot. he's tainted by Alfred, he's like a comic relief grimace, worm-tongued, he's the most annoying character in all the movies in the entire series, he's not funny, he's not interesting, he has more lines than most of the dwarves and his inclusion in the story makes no sense, it does nothing in this story, it doesn't teach anyone a lesson, it doesn't affect the plot, it just acts like it

sucks

up all the screen time and then dies and that's all the armies, the four of them. four of them, wait a minute, I mean in the book The Wolves are the Fifth Army, but there are no wolves in this one, oh wait, there's also a second orc army, it's like the main one and there's another one that never joins the battle.

So the Fifth Army didn't really fight, so are they part of the Battle of the Five Armies? Oh wait, now the Eagles are here too and taking care of those other Orcs, are they the Fifth Army or the Sixth Army, so depending on? As you can see, this is the battle of the four, five or six armies. One of the biggest problems with this movie is that the Battle of the Five Armies is stupid, it's a stupid battle that happens for a stupid reason and even Tolkien admits it. hence only a few pages are covered in the book.

Bilbo isn't even aware of it and in this film it is the longest War of the Rings on-screen battle of all the films; He condenses everything he did that made all the battles in the original trilogy memorable and throws all of that into the trash. This is basically just a CGI soccer game. Tolkien despised war and wrote the story to reflect that and I actually like how the animated film Hobbit handles it. Bilbo is like wow. it's stupid, I'm sitting this one out and this movie has a lot of moments where the characters are like, "wow, this whole conflict is really stupid, but you still spend two hours of pointless video game action and I'm sorry, but You can't have a full video." The action-fantasy film is about an event that all the characters admit is stupid and pointless.

The movie actively tells you not to care and I mean it when I say it's a video game like at the beginning of the movie. Gandalf was kidnapped by Sauron. and they put him in a bird cage but it's okay because the Avengers show up and save him and they have this crazy battle with these Dark Souls in the bees and I think this scene is what finally broke me because of the way it's framed to being so badass and epic with Elrod getting this action movie line, you should have stayed dead and the CGI ghosts look so bad.

I just don't know, look, I thought I was going to watch a Hobbit movie and when I got to this scene, I realized that this is no longer an adaptation of The Hobbit, this is something completely different and earlier I complained about my suspension from disbelief, but this movie takes it to another level, for example, Bardo escapes from prison at the beginning of this movie by grabbing a rope hanging outside. the window because his prison is conveniently located over the lake, then ties the rope to the mayor who happened to be passing underneath and the mayor didn't notice because he also happened to be pushing Alfred off the boat at this time.

On cue he then hangs for a second before getting pinned against the boat and I guess the speed of the boat and the mayor's girth allow the entire wall to be ripped off and then we get their most infamous scene. all where Legolas has to get to Toriel before she is killed, but he is in this Tower, so right before Toriel takes the killing blow, he jumps off the tower and stabs a troll in the head, who then, upon die, throw punches. about the tower collapsing perfectly into place to create a bridge that he without legs could use to save it, then they fight on the bridge that collapses and then we have this beautiful moment.

I need help reacting to something. This is officially too far. This is a video. game, if something crazy happened once or twice, I wouldn't really focus on it because don't get me wrong. The Lord of the Rings may be over the top, but it's generally done within reason in the original trilogy. Legolas is the only one who does the crazy things and even then, the craziest thing he does is played in a comedic way because even the movie knows it's crazy, but in this Trilogy everyone is a superhero, the death-defying stunts are abundant and for some reason it feels like every character has a heroic moment to save someone from being killed toriel is about to be killed oh no but okay legolas is here to save her and right after thorne is about to be killed oh no but it's okay because Legolas saves him and Bard's children are about to be killed oh no but it's okay because Bard shows up to save them and Toriel is about to be killed again oh no but it's okay because Keeley shows up to save her and as a friend, this is just artificial tension.

I'm not stupid, you've done the same. scene like five times it's only two hours of mind-blowing action there are no ups and downs in the pacing it's just a straight line the only reason I would say this isn't the worst of the trilogy is because I couldn't stop laughing I legitimately had the jaw on the floor in some of these scenes and yes this trilogy is very disappointing but if you compare it to the Star Wars prequels I don't think they will ever reach that level being the worst Lord of the Rings. The movie still puts them above many other bad movies I've seen on this channel.

The stuff with Bilbo is always great and the performances are actually not that bad, even when the script is, the actors are working hard, although I am serious when I say this script is bad, there are some lines that no one could save , why does it hurt so much because it did and I really like this little scene where Bilbo and Gandalf relax after the battle is over and if you ask, For me there needed to be a lot more scenes like this because I've been saying this a lot and you can call me old fashioned but I think the Hobbit movies should have been about the Hobbit, it's really the biggest failure of this trilogy.

I don't care how much you make up if Bilbo was more involved I would probably accept it. I understand wanting to make The Hobbit movies connect to the original trilogy by adding things with Sauron and making the ring more important because that's what everyone expects when they think. of The Hobbit because it is the prequel to The Lord of the Rings, but here's the thing: The Hobbit is not the prequel to The Lord of the Rings, it is a kind of story of its own that happens to have some connection tissue with the story that It comes after. and I really have a hard time considering this as a Hobbit movie as the Trilogy stands, it's just Lord of the Rings fan fiction and a lot of you wanted me to watch that new Amazon show for this video and I don't want it to be just more fan fiction I have no interest, sorry, I think I might have been done with The Lord of the Rings for a while, my childhood isn't exactly ruined, but I don't think it's gotten much better either, so I'll give it this. one is stupid out of 10. you know, every year I make these videos and every year they put me in a bad mood you want a ranking you want me to rank all the movies well, are you ready for this from worst to best number three these two pieces of they suck number two this movie is okay it didn't make me that angry number one everything else just watch this is all you need I'm done with the prequel Society has progressed beyond the need for prequels I'm tired next December we're doing all the Batman movies, goodbye, it's backwards, of course, it's spelled Gucci, yeah, he was enough to keep me in check a little, no, my boy, no, yeah, that's what they used to call me Gay Gandalf. as soon as anyone gets even remotely boring, they just freeze a giant recliner, which is a wonderful name for Orlando, recliner.

I first met the great Christopher Lee and then with the killer, quite early in the bowl of soup, he was converted. He walked up to me and said, "I always thought I should play again. I'll ask you to find a mirror. Just take a quick look. Remember, I'm actually Orlando Bloom. Please, have you had these meetings without me? No." , yeah, yeah Social distancing works for schmeagle and I have dollars who likes to drink disinfectant, precious, I don't know on the battlefields, let me tilt this a little bit.
