One question: why am I blamed for something said by catholiceducation.org? Then is TLOTR history, as a college professor I spoke to said students in the 60s would tell him?stahrwe wrote:Geo's comment is well done and I learned something from it.

Are you?
I initially thought Jackson would do a good job with The Hobbit which has a more concise storyline and is a more filmable project than TLOTR. But three movies? To be honest, I found TLOTR to be a rather bloated, self-indulgent affair. The reviews don't surprise me. How do you divide The Hobbit into three separate storylines? I wonder if the Tolkien estate was supportive of the three-movie approach or did the studio itself want to have a cash cow.DWill wrote:Sorry if this is curmudgeonly, but regarding "The Hobbit" movies, why has Peter Jackson decided to make 3 films out of that one book? The books of the trilogy, all much longer than The Hobbit, got but one film each. The Hobbit is a charming book, but giving it super-epic treatment is surely a mistake. The reviews of the first installment are uneven, unlike the critical reception for the other Rings movies. Some of the reviews point to lack of substance as the film's major failing.
