I really enjoyed the first 3 movies, couldn't get behind The Hobbit at all. I don't have high hopes for this.

Hobbits were fun mid-tier movies, if you don't bring in your expectations from lotr

And don't bring your expectations from actually having read the book.

Yeah that should be obvious

Yea I think that might be what ruined it for me. The bar was raised pretty high with LOTR, and The Hobbit was my favourite book growing up.

The first one isn't bad at all. Second one's meh af snd the last is one of the worst fantasy films ever made.

I watched them and I was like... OK, if I had an editing suite I could get 1-2 good movies out of this...
