Kathleen asked this question about The Hobbit, or There and Back Again:
Who else here was disappointed in the hobbit movies? I thought there was too much CGI and it strayed to much from the book. Reply if you think so too! :)
Livvy Hansen I totally agree! The movies seemed like it was trying to recreate the same feeling as LOTR, but just did a bad job. The Hobbit movies had so much CGI …moreI totally agree! The movies seemed like it was trying to recreate the same feeling as LOTR, but just did a bad job. The Hobbit movies had so much CGI that it made the world seem a little unnatural and alien-like, while LOTR didn't use as much CGI and the world seemed a lot more natural and beautiful. When I watched the Hobbit movies, it almost felt like I was watching a Marvel movie because of the heavy overload of CGI. I think it's okay for Marvel movies to have a lot of CGI just because a lot of it is very unnatural! But, Tolkien's world (Middle Earth) is supposed to be very earthy and rugged. So, there was just NO NEED for all the CGI in the Hobbit movies. Also, WHY ON EARTH did they make extended editions of each of the Hobbit movies!! THEY ALREADY EXTENDED IT TWO MOVIES MORE THAN IT NEEDED TO BE!!!(less)
