I wouldn't watch a movie if I expected it to tell me a story I've already heard. But The Hobbit movies were terrible. They don't even work as movies. The visuals are supposed to be impressive, but I couldn't help but think it looked like somebody melted crayons and smeared it around.

What do I think went wrong? I think they tried to ram too much Middle-Earth mythology into the movie without making the story coherent. It could have been done. Buuuuut it wasn't done. (less)
