Latter is more understandable since it's a cash grab compared to LOTR. I saw The Hobbit in the theater. It was horrible. I didn't even consider seeing the next two. The story is a 2-hour film at the longest, and Jackson fluffed it up to 6. Shameful.... 1

Personally, I enjoyed them even with some tinkering with the characters. I did buy the extended DVD's of the Hobbit but haven't watched them all the way through. Yes it made more money that way but I liked the extended versions of LOTR too.

That's almost sacrilegious ..well Jar Jar wasn't a good character so I'll give you a pass on that one. Edited September 3, 2023 by Rhyta

What do I remember the most about Jackson winning his Oscars for The Return of The King? At the Show, he and his cohorts looked like they had just got out of bed…..and hadn’t bathed. 1
Jack Aubrey Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 I've never seen Titanic or The Godfather. The boat sinks, the boy dies, big deal! And I don't like Marlon Brando.
