The Hobbit films, previously to be directed by Guillermo del Toro and now to be directed by Peter Jackson again.

I think these movies are worse than the Star Wars prequels. By a lot.

Oh yes

As far as characterization goes, Alfrid Lickspittle makes Jar Jar Binks look like Harry Lime.

They're better than Rings of Power by, like, a lot.

Rings Of Power has the big advantage of not being 48fps

Yeah, as bad as Rings was it was less ugly and tedious than the Hobbit films.

48fps is fabulous, it literally looked like you could walk in to the screen. It will be shame if it never catches on because the film designed to champion it was a steaming turd.

no it looked like a bad soap opera sped up

Like watching someone else play a video game all evening.

Unwelcome flashback to the barrel sequence. Hard to believe I watched all three of these in the cinema.

Haha. I did the same.

I'd complety forgotten about the barrel scene. In fact, I think I must have totally blanked them all out as the only thing I vaguely remember is the fucking atrocious Radagast sleigh bit

That was the lulz and best thing in the films, I wouldn't go so far as to say befitting the original conception of this children's book but nothing like the travesty of the barrel sequence, or the rollercoaster in the golbin caves.
