The Hobbit

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is one of my favourite ever made, however The Hobbit was one of the most disappointing experience of my life, I understand the book is more child friendly, not to the point of a rabbit version of santa clause but still more childish, and you can feel that watching the film, however it just doesn't fit with the original design, if they wanted to make a Hobbit film they should have either kept with the same atmosphere or made a standalone film, and it clearly is not supposed to be either  because they are using characters from Lord of the Rings that never appeared in the Hobbit and using elements of Lord of the Rings to spread the Hobbit out into three films so the Studio can make more money, a fact they have admitted. Not only are they shoving stuff into the story that doesn't belong, but they are also completely making up story arcs and it just looses the magic, there re scenes i loved, such as the scene with Golum. but overall the film wan't only not as good as Lord of the Rings, it wasn't as good as your average fairytale adventure, even Snow White and the Huntsman was far better, and that stared Kristen Stewart, thats low, it was like playing a really bad video game thats based on a film, completely over the top and diluted of its original magic.
