I rewatched The Hobbit in HD. (lemmy.sdf.org)

And apparently they are awesome. Metro Goldwyn Mayer - again - did some great filming.

When I initially watched the hobbit parts, I was mad about not respecting the books. They kinda did, I know realize. In HD, and in native language these movies are a piece of art.

I had a very strong opinion about how bad they were - but I reconsidered. Even the lead actor Bilbo I opposed - He did a remarkable act. Anyhow. American influence hits hard, once it does. Started at some safari show with a lion named Clarence. Don't know the name but I loved it - as fair as I can remember.

Love all, but Some.

I think when they were released, everybody brought the expectations they had from tLotR, which kinda doomed it from the start. That was lightning in a bottle, you can do EVERYTHING right and not get that same kind of success.

The Hobbit Trilogy is good when you remove those expectations.

It's partially why Jackson didn't want to try to repeat, it was a unique experience. Credit as well to New Line Cinema for taking the risks of LotR that no other studio wanted to touch. And Jackson did the best he could to save the dropped Hobbit project, I'd rather have the combo of excellent scenes and messes of a plot than nothing.

Admittedly I watched cam rips with bad sound and formed a premature opinion. And I loudly declared that the imdb rating was off. I'm sorry about my actions.

// edit: they may even be able to conquest the throne of tLotR. They are thought through very much.
