Exactly.

Gandalf is stoned on pipe weed and Radagast is high on shrooms.

Trust me…all of third and fifth ward caught all of the weed references in the first trilogy.
That may be one reason it did so well.

It’s decent if you’re a genre-fan. Some of the effects and fights are great.
The

If you’re not a diehard fantasy geek, prepare to be bored.
It takes no genius to figure out why.
Partitioning a smallish book first into two, then three parts was motivated by money alone, not artistic integrity.
The Huffington Post nerd can go suck an intellectual orifice of choice, his argument is baffling at best.
It doesn’t matter what Tolkien in his nightly nerdogasms envisioned later on, in order to make his creation appear more solid and whole.
If we find Grimm’s lost annotations to “Red Riding Hood”, and they lay out a wolfish genealogy, explaining at great lengths why this particular predator could talk along with establishing the history of the “Hunters Guild” and other outrageously geeky stuff, a three part movie about a little girl visiting her grandma would still.
Suck.
Ass.
A lot.
It’s painfully obvious that a movie is bloated when it takes ~40 minutes to get the hobbit’s furry ass out of Hobbit Town and 20+ minutes for Bilbo and Gollum to sort things out.
Let’s hear it from the director and former director:
“one of the drawbacks of The Hobbit is it’s relatively lightweight compared to LOTR” (Jackson)
and
“The Hobbit is better contained in a single film and kept brisk and fluid with no artificial 'break point” (delTorro)

Agree 1000x. It’s not like it was an unpleasant film to watch, but when I go to see a movie, I expect the basic elements of a story to be present - intro, rising action, climax, descending action, and a meaningful resolution.
The way the movie ended to me was the worst part. You might expect a TV show to end like that (with a new episode coming the next week) but going to pay for a movie like that and have it end suddenly with no resolution and a year to the next film makes me feel like I’ve been ripped off.[/quote]
Watch Prometheus. Then you’ll know what it’s really like to sit through a movie with no ending. [/quote]
Just for you my friend
I liked the idea of Prometheus. I liked how they portrayed Wayland’s daughter…but hated how they killed her off. I hated Idrise Elba’s fake country accent (even though I loved him as an actor and the part he played).
It was like a movie with great potential that had it’s writer die half way through script.
It left way too many open ends and answered NOTHING. It was like cutting x-Files off in the middle of season two and saying, “Taddaaa!!”
Well fine fuck you white box, fuck you in the ass

Radagast getting raddled on shrooms is new. He rides a sled pulled by super charged giant bunnies.

They really did piss me off with that "Oh no the machine doesn’t recognize a female’s anatomy and does a cesarean to remove a “living tumor out of a guy”.

It wouldn’t have worked as a single movie. I’ve been pretty vocal about my dislike of trilogies being made for the sake of it, but one thing that isn’t immediately apparent is the amount of work Peter Jackson has put into making each of the dwarves stand as individuals.
The journey has to be protracted so relationships can form. Jackson has done an amazing job of giving them defined personalities, each with different reasons for joining the quest. That won’t be apparent until the ebd credits roll on the last movie. Thorin, Balin and Bofur got most of the attention in part 1, with the rest getting their moments to shine in the sequels.
And Smaug will blow our minds.
I’ve figured out Azog’s role (he’ll survive until the Battle of the Five Armies).

Well they are chasing the dragon.
For those interested in a good version of LotR, not the shitty new-zealand flic here’s the second best one:
(the best one is, of course, the '58 turkmenian silent film, but it’s only shown on the president’s birthday in adult cinemas as a sideshow.)
