However, LotR is a more gripping, more mature story that I think can get you hooked enough to give The Hobbit its proper chance.
These things were not even enough to make it palletable.Īs for the book order, yes, chromatically it makes sense to start with The Hobbit. Fry seemed uncomfortable, but I'm willing to forgive him much). I don't recall any particularly bad performances (S. There were great performances from fantastic actors. There are some great easter eggs and silmarillion/lotr appendicies references. This all sounds harsh, so here's some positive notes on those films. I felt cheated by the cynical treatment of such a classic. The music spots were highest biddet billboard baggins bullshit that had no place in middle earth. The plot was raped in order to fit in LotR characters. The Hobbit story was spun out from one film into three for money and money alone. The Hobbit films feel like a cash in in comparison. They are loyal to the books, deeply rich with artention to detail, with acceptable exceptions where the rhythm and tone of the filns needed minor alteration from the texts in order to make better films. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a great set of films. Advise not to watch any of The Hobbit films. Then to read LotR, then the Hobbit then the Silmarillion. I think the best order is to watch Fellowship, Two Towers, Return.
