Judging from the poster they're aware of how weird it is



It's a step up from say, Transformers. What a mess. It's arms are so comparatively short it's T Rex. 25% poncho, 25% feet which one director would appreciate.

In that poster it's intentionally depicted at an angle that makes it visually difficult to parse, so you see it as a big monster with no focal point and your eye moves down to notice Hathaway looking up at it. But it's really just a normal humanoid robot with a big thing on it

The Young Master is easily my favorite Jackie Chan movie. Especially love the beginning scene with the dragon competition thing, the fight where they use benches to battle each other and the end fight where Jackie wins thanks to the magical power of opium bong water.

They put in one fun song to trick you into thinking it's going to be a fun movie. And over the course of the next two hours you slowly die

The first hobbit movie is very sneaky because it’s not unbearable and the Gollum stuff is cool. It’s a real sucker punch later though when 2 and 3 are just the worst poo poo

I watched the first one and really felt that there was no need to stick with the series. But I'm also a quitter.

I have the same feelings. I didn't hate the first one but some point during the 2nd one in the cinema i was just like WTF? i've not even seen the 3rd one. I think i put it on TV once and there was some guy dressed as a women and it was supposed to be funny.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
I saw the first one in the theatre, it felt like they were padding the poo poo out of it, I can't imagine how much worse the other two were.

The only good part in Hobbits 1 was the padding, the water slides part... I am pretty it was padding.

That was the only good part in the entire series.

Song was good and then everything after was a mess. The trolls were ok I guess. Stick with the Rankin/Bass version if you absolutely must watch Hobbit, for all its faults it's a much better movie. And it's only a single movie, not a loving trilogy packed with fanfic and doesn't turn short paragraphs from the book into excessively long epic scenes.

The third one needs to be seen to be believed. From the same director as Two Towers, it’s unbelievable

It was the second one and they attached it to a barrel going down a river

Can’t blame the man, it’s the greatest shot of blurry rushing water ever put on screen.

The colour grading on the 3D release managed to make the makeup look hilariously bad.

Got any deathsticks?
They made Extended Editions for the Hobbit films and they are actually worse than the theatrical cuts. As in, they're straight up unfinished in some spots. There's an entire subplot in the 2nd one about Gandalf finding Thorin's father Thrain while he's wandering around the spooky forest castle and they not only hadn't finished some of the CGI, but they also used stock sound effects when Thrain gets killed. You don't give a named character a willhelm scream death.

There's a photo of me taken about twenty minutes after seeing the third hobbit film at the cinema and I look extremely dead inside and am surrounded by like 8 family and friends who did not see the film, round for dinner at my parents all happy and smiling and I've got a thousand yard stare looking like I'm about to cry. It wasn't because the movie was bad but that's what everyone thinks.

I've always kind of felt like the third Hobbit was better than the second because at that point it just didn't matter. A bulk of the movie was them just going loving bananas making poo poo up because it was summed up in the book by Bilbo getting whacked in the head and waking up to Gandalf telling him everyone was dead. It leaned into the madness of what they had made and was creating things whole cloth instead of like in Desolation of Smaug where they were taking tons of iconic moments and twisting them into embarrassing fight or action scenes.
