What about Morgan Freeman ?

As crap as the hobbit was freeman is a great actor

@@lewisparry4992 the hobbit was great man, what are you talking about

He and Smaug were the two good things in these films.

I can’t stand him. He’s the same in every role he plays.

Agreed. And let's not forget the then-53-year-old Thorin's younger brother Frerin was slain at the age of 48 during The Battle of Azanulbizar, so that stayed with Thorin for the rest of his life and also may have led to his decision not to take on anybody younger than 70-75 years of age for The Quest for Erebor. He'd never be able to live with himself if Gimli got hurt or died on the journey.

“That’s my wee lad!!!”

hey i know it’s been 6 months but something super funny is his reasoning to not taking the dumbledore role and him saying he was the real wizard

Also my preferences 👍

Same

Yup, sure are weird...

​@@killer2miller23lol

More than the book? Or more than the previous movies, Lord of the Rings? Just curious.

I get that. Reading the book(s) was truly amazing. Nevertheless, I love all the movies.

@@marciaturnbull8082 yeah, right? My personal favorite is the Silmarillion

The #1 thing most people do not like is they took a book that could easily have been made into just 1 movie but greed prompted them to stretch it into 3. To pull this off they basically just added a bunch of stuff that was not in the books. Azog was mentioned one time and that was when Balg was introduced as our antagonist. It said he was spawn of Azog the Defiler, orc who beheaded Thror I think. The female elf and Fili's love story was 100% Hollywood's doing. The dwarfs never had a confrontation with Smaug. In fact they wanted Bilbo to "steal" all their treasure back. There was no Arkin Stone. All in all a good 80% of that trilogy is filler bullshit so they could maximize profits. Disrespectful to the source material for the sake of money leaves a bad taste in the mouth and kinda feels manipulative.

​@@heatherearls9587the arkenstone was important in the book, bilbo also gave it to bard to try to stop the men of laketown and the elves from starting war with the dwarfs

@@heatherearls9587 the problem is that lotr fans have this belief that the lotr trilogy is the most perfect thing ever, and anything else to come out will never be like it, come on, hobbit is enjoyable and i agree, it shouldve been 2 movies only, but the lotr trilogy aint as perfect as they make it seem, while i also recognize their impact and their process,also people complain about the books being better, not only in hobbit but also lotr, so which is it aholes? Is it perfect or not? You cant say its the best trilogy in existence and then complain about random things, so they are entertaining, all 6 of them, thats it, also being so long , theyre not for everyone

@@ericmagana3215 You are right in that the LotR trilogy isn't perfect. They deviated from the books and took creative liberties back then too. But, over all, the story of the films actually align with the books fairly well. There are pretty much only minor things that aren't included and obviously there are more depth in the books. If I'm being perfectly honest though, the films actually do some parts better than the books, like the battle of Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith, and I also think that the scene where Gandalf cures Théoden is underwhelming in the book in comparison to the film. The visual side of things and the sound/music in the LotR films really brings the world to life and all in all, they are a wonderful adaptation of the trilogy. The Hobbit films are definitely not bad in their own right, but they definitely feel more "fake" than the LotR films, and that is mostly due to the way it looks (looks too crisp, probably because of the excessive use of green screen) and classic Hollywood tropes, like the romance between Kílí and Tauriel, who by the way is an entirely made up character for the film. They should have absolutely made a maximum of two films for their adaptation of the Hobbit and stayed more true to the source material.

You're not alone!

Radagast was butchered unfortunately. Made him out to be a half mad fool with bird shit running down his head and riding a sled pulled by bloody rabbits. Became a cheap form of comic relief with a dickie staff, sadly. No knock on the actor, did what he was told but the writing of him was hopeless. Would have loved to see him done as the wise old reclusive wizard that would garner respect.

​@@bradsaint9779another cry baby lol its so fk funny to read

Disgusting character. FF thru his scenes

Are you mad?

Amanda's going to cry lol

It is just a shame they had to inflate it to a trilogy.

Agreed! I love these movies

No

@@amandajohnston6915 Just an opinion bro, you don't have to agree.

I would appreciate you learning how to spell "appreciation".

@@DavidRay39 Not everyone is a native English speaker. Next time i'll try not to make the mistake of spelling one letter wrong. But i'm sure people love having you at parties!

If you've read The Hobbit don't bother. The trilogy has nothing to do with Tolkiens work. It's a complete rewrite and therefore an utter travesty

​@@dog-thebackwardgod👶😭

🙄

Poor dog is still crying 😢

The movie theatre right next to me showed the three movies a few months ago and i watched them there for the first time, it was sooo amazing and epic!!

There always have to be special cases, otherwise it's boring. In my opinion, Kili and Tauriel had so much chemistry and fit together very well.

Pov: fili kili and thorin 😶

yeah you are right- but I love the movies still

Hmmm, it might be a good idea to read the book. In short, the eagles would not take them the entire journey, in fear of being shot by the men of Anduin, who would shoot at the eagles to stop them from stealing their livestock

They deserve every bit of it. So much is in it that is NOT Tolkien.

You've never read the book! That's completely obvious. Either that or you don't care at all about Tolkiens works. Idk what book he read before making that trilogy, but it sure in the hell wasn't The Hobbit.

@@dog-thebackwardgod I think PJ missed the mark with The Hobbit. It is not a history of the heroism of the dwarves. It is the personal growth story of a small Hobbit, and how he changes the course of History. The way PJ has the story unfold, the Hobbit isn't even necessary! He is just a superfluous character - no more need than Bifur. When in the entire 3 movies was it even hinted that Bilbo was the real leader of the quest and that the Dwarves would have been lost without him?

@dandiehm8414 yes! You get it. Plus all the unnecessary Smaug battles that weren't in the book. The thing that stuck in my craw was the handsome dwarf. He took the line about Thorin being handsome for a dwarf and went completely overboard. Then, just to add insult to injury he writes in an affair between a dwarf and an elf? That's in no way Tolkien. In fact Iluvitar said there would ever be strife between the two races. As far as I'm concerned PJ got full of himself and thought he could improve on Tolkien. No one is better than Tolkien

@@dog-thebackwardgod but many things are left out of the lord of the rings movies to books. yet no one is hating on that are they? i seen people complain that the hobbit is not long enough to make 3 movies. then at same time complain that the lord of the rings books got more than 3 movies worth of time. so no matter what they did there be hate. is the hobbit perfect? no ofc not. but is it bad? no. many people hate the story got changed of azog but saruman was also killed off and skip a whole story. but not many hate on that instead they accept it because there are many endings. point is both are not fully true to the books. so did you read the books?

Have you ever seen the hobbit m4 book edit? I think it's still free if you google it. I enjoyed it but I'm still salty that the movies don't have the same feel as the book

Wake up

In my opinion, he was an important part of the trilogy, he was so epic and badass and he was a very good opponent. (sry I didn't read the books, but thats my thought of the films)

Why

@@amandajohnston6915 because The Hobbit precedes the LOTR. If you are asking why to the second part of what he said then its because regardless of the changes they are really good movies and aside from the love story everything fits well without taking away from the feel of the world.

Yeah. Also, under #4 he says that Thror was Thorins father, which is incorrect

He also refers to Erebor as Moria. And who the hell is “Baylin”?

same here!

😭

HAHAHAHA that thought...

Also in the Hobbit Trilogy they repeated too much of the dialogue and scenes from the first Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Lines like, “it drove your brother mad” quoted by Samwise to Faramir and also repeated by one of the dwarfs to Thorin about his father going mad. Also the scenes of unscrupulous characters in the pub watching Thorin & Gandalf which was similar to Frodo, Samwise, Merry & Pippin expecting to meet Gandalf at the Prancing Pony who never showed up etc etc. And that’s just a few examples there are plenty more…

@@CaptainIrvitron Do you realize the gap between The Hobbit and Lord of Rings events are sixty years and there is a chance such dialog repeats through different person regardless much like in real life. It was obvious the movie gave a nods to each other considering they are part of the same universe.

⁠@@TippotipoYou can spin it any way you want, it was “dialogue redundancy” in its highest form and doesn’t come off as paying homage to anything but laziness in writing dialogue for the characters. One or two lines here and there is okay but not throughout every movie of the Hobbit trilogy. Besides we’re talking about 10 or 11 years between groups of movies, not a 60 years span in the books !!! Try again !!! 😊

Either way, HFR should have become the new standard. 24 is so painfully bad when you have scenes that Pam quickly over large landscapes. But it became cool to hate on HFR, even though it was clearly better. And coolness won out.

😢 oh no

Like completely rewriting a classic for no reason? Give me a break

@@dog-thebackwardgod Yeah we get it you don’t like the trilogy, you don’t have to respond to everyone on here to repeat it
