I still can’t stop but think how stretched out the Hobbit films were, for an otherwise short book. That’s a sin that stains forever with me. The Lord of the Rings films, do have their own flaws, but they’re fairly contained and can be debated as to whether they were good or not. I have so much trouble excusing anything with the Hobbit though.

And I hope we never, ever see anyone tackle The Silmarillion. Simply because, there will be so much improvised fluff in that would-be film, that it’d make the Hobbit films blush.

    They changed the original ending of LOTR (books), but included the ghost warrior shit in no. 3. They simply could not be killed and just ran through the enemies with zero friction and killed them all. It was such a let down. It ruined the epic battle for me.

    I have not read the books btw
