Several times during the movie I would have walked out if I hadn't been with one of my friends. As soon as the movie ended I stormed out of the movie theater, ran outside and up the stairs (at Marina Pacifica). I was seriously shaking with anger I was so upset, my voice quivering when I was trying to explain to my friend why I thought it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.<br /><br />I HATED THIS MOVIE with all my being. What an absolute abomination. This is what I had expected with Jackson directing the LORD OF THE RINGS. Instead he waited 10 years to drop this turd. <br /><br />This movie almost killed my love for movies. I was freaking BORED through the first half of this movie, and the second half of this movie if you heard sarcastic laughter after the fake 'audience' laughter, that would be me, yes it was.<br /><br />I could go scene by scene with commentary, this movie has so seared my senses. I won't though. I won't be seeing the sequels.

I was having this exact discussion Monday night with a friend. My premise was that I had been totally excited with the fact that Guillermo Del Toro was going to be directing THE HOBBIT instead of Peter Jackson. One, Del Toro proved he is awesome with creating an alternate environment and does the fey as good as anybody with his movies PAN'S LABYRINTH and HELLBOY 2. Two, he doesn't have the Peter Jackson habit of "Well I have the power to throw everything into the movie including the kitchen sink, let's include three kitchen sinks, an ice box, and a trash compactor." - in other words - he wouldn't take a straight forward adventure story and turn it into an over bloated corpse that starts to stink in summer sun.<br /><br />My main argument was: THE HOBBIT would have made an awesome single nearly 3 hour movie. A good duology. A bloated mess of a trilogy.<br /><br />I'm going today at Noon o'clock. I'll post my final tally then.<br /><br />Great review as always sir.Ripper Madnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074155968277502192noreply@blogger.com
