I just watched The Fellowship of the Ring for the first time in many years and loved it all over again. That got me thinking about Jackson's Hobbit movies and how much I hated them. I didn't even watch the third one but skimmed it when it was on cable. Even the look of the Hobbit movies, with that ugly high definition bullshit camera speed (or whatever it was) was awful and made them look like videogames. What the hell happened to Jackson? Was it drugs? Ego? Something else?
Lord of the Rings vs. Hobbit movies
by Anonymous | reply 107 | August 2, 2019 10:27 PM |
Part of it was all of the bloat of the second trilogy. In LOTR Jackson had to take three large volumes of literature and reduce them to scripts without cutting out too much. In "The Hobbit" he had the opposite problem. One relatively slim book expanded into three movies. It would have been better served as two movies with less filler.

What r1 said. A huge problem was creating three movies out of the The Hobbit which was not some long epic like Lord of the Rings was.

I think one movie would have sufficed. I was also a big fan of the LOTR movies, but only watched the first Hobbit movie because I was so disgusted by the blatant money grab.
I heard that there are edits out there made by fans which stay pretty close to the book. Can anyone recommend one, and tell me where to stream it?

Also, Jackson was only supposed to produce. Guillermo del Toro was supposed to direct but dropped out late in the game. They should have halted pre-production to regroup, but proceeded anyway. Too big to fail I guess.
I'm sure I'm oversimplifying, ISTR there was a lot of bad blood and legal issues behind the scenes.

It was overindulgence. Having all the resources to inflate a short story to the size of Jackson's and Tolkein's true OPUS, which had interesting enough characters, sub-plots and unique fights to sustain 3, different films.

R3, I was hoping someone would do that, as I watched the three (yes, I did) I kept imagining getting some scissors and cutting huge sections out and putting what's left back into some semblance of the story.

Reams have been written about why the Hobbit movies were so terrible. Jackson only came in very late in the game, as shooting was starting. And it wasn't until after shooting started that they decided to expand it to a trilogy, which completely ruined the story flow as they had to chop things up, expand other things out, move things around, and worse.
Some actor has made a rather famous "one 3-hour movie" cut of all three films that those who have seen it say is actually pretty good. Of course, it's completely unofficial and so isn't something you can ever go see unless you're his friend I guess.

The Hobbit hasn't soured Lord of the Rings for me at all. They're so separate in style and execution despite the returning cast and crew. Those Hobbit films really are weak. They're like the Star Wars prequels, and they got worse and they kept going.
I will say that Martin Freeman, when focused on, was brilliant throughout. Very committed and effortlessly charming as he always is. Benedict Cumberbatch did a great job with Smaug, and he was well-rendered.

One huge continuity problem in The Hobbit trilogy:
At the end of the second movie, Smaug is covered with molten gold and flies off to attack Laketown. Ignoring the fact that the weight of the molten gold would make it impossible to fly:
At the beginning of the third movie - which starts just moments after the end of the second - Smaug is shown without a trace of the gold. What happened to it?

I watched the first Hobbit and thought it was okay. Gollum was the best part of it.
Made it to the barrel chase in the river on the second movie and had to turn it off. That was so silly and too much CGI.
Didn't bother watching the third. But over Christmas I caught a bit of it on tv and I did like the look of Luke Evans in it. Is it worth watching for Luke's character? Is he in it a lot? Is it better than the first two films?
I also thought Thorin was a total asshole and didn't give a shit about him.

I've always wondered if Jackson lost a really good editor, some time between the release of "Fellowship of the Ring" and "An Unexpected Journey". Because the Hobbit movies are all godawful because Jackson had no clue when to stop, he just kept putting more and more and more crap on the screen because he thought it was cool, and completely lost the flow of the story, as well as any suspense or feeling.
And you can see that happening even in the theatrical release of "Return of the King", which is too long and includes a lot of meandering and stuff that isn't nearly as cool as Jackson thinks it is. Was there someone at WETA who could tell Jackson when to stop for the first two films, a "No Man" who was able to make him stop before he ruined the narrative? Someone who saved "Fellowship" and "Two Towers" from that kind of indulgence, but who wasn't around to save "Return of the King" or the entire mess of Hobbit films?

Lord of the Rings impressed because it was just so astonishing that anyone was taking it on. In retrospect, though, there was so much of the 'spirit' of Tolkein that Peter Jackson just didn't 'get' that in fact I hated all 6 of the films.
This section, for me, sums up the awfulness of Lord of the Rings. Enya's faux-oirish-celtic-swirling mistiness.

[quote]Mortensen thinks – rightly – that The Fellowship of the Ring turned out the best of the three, perhaps largely because it was shot in one go. “It was very confusing, we were going at such a pace, and they had so many units shooting, it was really insane. But it’s true that the first script was better organised,” he says. “Also, Peter was always a geek in terms of technology but, once he had the means to do it, and the evolution of the technology really took off, he never looked back. In the first movie, yes, there’s Rivendell, and Mordor, but there’s sort of an organic quality to it, actors acting with each other, and real landscapes; it’s grittier. The second movie already started ballooning, for my taste, and then by the third one, there were a lot of special effects. It was grandiose, and all that, but whatever was subtle, in the first movie, gradually got lost in the second and third. Now with The Hobbit, one and two, it’s like that to the power of 10.

The Hobbit films were little more than a naked money grab. Martin Freeman was excellent, as he always is. But the addition of some ridiculous M/F forbidden romance, and more CG than a video game, made the series a complete betrayal of the source material and all but unwatchable.

If you have to add a elf-dwarf-elf love triangle to help pad the movie out, you might want to double think things.
I liked the LOTR movies, and liked the book the Hobbit, but the Hobbit movies were bad. The Hobbit was a much lighter (and shorter) story. It should have been more of a fun action-adventure movie. By trying to make it another serious LOTR epic trilogy they produced something that came off as bad fan-fiction.

I really liked Luke Evans' Bard character, as well as Lee Pace as Elvenking Thranduil. Those two guys are always good, and managed to be totally enjoyable and watchable as the film crashed and burned around them. You really can't ask more of an actor than that.
But they have what, 45 min of screen time between them? It's not worth watching the last two films to see them, the films are unspeakably bad.

I wish someone would pay Jackson to edit the three Hobbit films down to one three-hour movie, taking out all the filler and nonsense that's not in the source material. That movie is there, it just needs all the fat trimmed away. Yes, it would be (another) blatant money grab, but we'd have something true to the original book.

His Hollywood movies are shit too. Well, the stories are. He's great a evoking imagery but terrible at telling stories.
Jackson started out in moviemaking with those insane low budget horror movies with way OTT effects and humor. He basically revels in that sort of thing. People were EXTREMELY worried that he would spaz out on LOTR as well, but he went for the job of director with a very serious intention to do the story straight up.
And at first that worked, but even by ROTK the amazing success of the series gave him more leeway and you could see him going over the top, like with that ridiculous mace the Lord of the Nazgul uses in his final battle with Eowyn. He actually wanted Sauron to embody and figh Aragorn in the final battle before the Black Gate -- he had the live actions scenes shot and was working on the CGI for the embodied Sauron, when basically EVERYONE told him that it would be an enormous betrayal of the entire point of the story (that Sauron COULD NOT EMBODY without the ring). Eventually he was basically coerced into taking Sauron out and putting a huge black troll in the scene instead.
But by the time the Hobbit was made, he was The Legend, the King of All Tolkien Movies. And the leering snickery boy who made those fun, silly horror movies was back. And it shows in the Hobbit movies. So many silly, jokey OTT action sequences, it just gets so boring. And the Battle of the Five Armies is unwatchable.
Actually we got a hint in his King Kong from 2005 that he was already semi-out-of-control. There are flashes of incredible brilliance in that movie but too much hijinks. WAY too much. And so overindulgent.
Peter Jackson is capable of making brilliant movies precisely because he can inject so much excitement and virtuosity into the story telling. But he needs to be kept on a leash. The obvious constraints of telling the stories of the Tommys on the Western Front in WWI is an example. He is definitely capable of making amazing movies again.

I just reread the three LOTR books for the first time in decades and then decided to watch all 3 extended versions of Jackson's LOTR movies. I have to say that I was blown away by how perfectly Jackson and his two cowriters adapted the books. They left out a lot of stuff (Tom Bombadil, to name just one character that a lot of people like, and the scouring of the Shire, a major plot development in the books) and moved dialogue from one character to another, but none of that mattered. I remember thinking that ROTK had too many endings when I saw it in the theater, but watching the 3 extended movies in 3 days, I thought the extended finale was just right. As for the Hobbit movies, they were painful to watch (that extra-fast camera speed or whatever it was that made the movies look like video games) and hopelessly bloated. I second the call for an one-movie edit of the three movies, but I guess Jackson will never do that because it would be admitting that he made a mistake expanding the book too much.

No, apparently it was the studio that demanded three films, not Jackson. According to the excellent documentary "A Long-Expected Autopsy"/"The Battle of Five Studios" that's been linked several times in this thread, one of the main reasons the story was bloated up to three films was that FIVE different studios owned a piece of the rights to the first "Hobbit" film. So the studio that was funding this mess wasn't going to make much money on one film, but would keep all the profits from a second film, or a third. So, they insisted on a third film, and apparently did so well into the production process.
Really, Lindsay Ellis did a fantastic job on this one.
