The New Insincerity
All you need to know about the final installment of the epic is, instead of Bard just pulling off a million-to-one shot against the dragon, in this we have Smaug land, gloat, poo poo-talk Bard and threaten his son, before the fatal blow we apparently all know will be struck (they certainly don't shoot it as a surprise---note the fetishistic close-up when Bard draws the fatal bow). Everything from the book mist be ramped up, heightened---it's no longer enough for Thorin and his twelve kinsmen to make an heroic charge against the Goblin horde, now they must do so on the back of GIANT RAMS. Here is The Hobbit, a work of real imagination and one of the standouts of the twentieth century---packaged like a new Honda Accord, sold to Middle America with a love story and the pathetic spectacle of distinguished elder actors blatantly swApping places with stunt doubles to engage in utterly meaningless stage fights with computer generated counterparts.

This pathetic spectacle left me depressed and irritated. What were we supposed to take from the two and a half hour witless chronicle, with Tolkien's wry humor and economy (for all his trumped up lingering over the mountains and woods of middle earth he did not take long to aptly explain a Denethor or a Thranduil), economy and humanity the Hobbit films badly lack

This is all true. I can't disagree with anything in this message.

Still, you should play it. You'll have fun. I'm pro-fun. I'm just trying to make sure you're happy.

Everuthing is so overblown.... Did Fili and Kili's deaths need to be miniature Passions of the Christ? The repeated callbacks to lines from the first trilogy, the duplo elves.... Do people really want this overblown garbage?

Fool me once, shame on you. Twice, shame on me. Three times, and I post about it on the Internet like it's impressive being a super opinionated idiot nerd with terrible spending habits.

How many hours did you have to put in at Suncoast to afford those 3d tickets

Tbh some of us (Pick) use this website more than others and I feel that I am unfairly subsidizing picks posting. Unless some kind of fee by post usage is enabled were basically instituting a forced welfare state of posting.
I'm upset at how western your anime avatar is getting.
