I am very torn. While I appreciate the love that went into this project (and you can see it). It doesn’t really offer much to the larger story and probably didn’t beed to be 40min. If it were part of a tv series, I think it would likely slot in well, with some additional parallel Shire content going on.
Yeah and thanks for watching it. I felt simular. I liked watching it because I’m a big fan, but it was their love and passion for it that got me. And for what it is I think they did a great job. It could have been shorter or had more other content… But I can only assume there was some budget issues as it was nonprofit made.
This is gonna suffer the same issue that Star Wars has. They have an entire world and myths to explore and they just stick with a core group to focus on.
The Amazon series is fan fiction. This is part of the background story Tolkien wrote.
I’m not really interested in either, as they are both soulless capitalist cash grabs, but I think this has the possibility of being a decent (although completely unnecessary) film .
“For over two decades, moviegoers have embraced the ‘Lord of the Rings’ film trilogy because of the undeniable devotion Peter, Fran and Philippa have shown…”
I thought this … until I saw The Hobbit. Their devotion was clearly waning at that point.
Heard the actors were less than impressed as well.
I think devotion for LOTR must still be there with them today. The Hobbit feels more like a project your boss forces you to do after getting incredibly rich by exploiting you with your first passion project.
This new one feels like them getting some extra cash to finally retire.
Yeah, I wouldn’t blame Peter Jackson for that one. Although still not hopeful for a Gollum focused movie. Would have much preferred something outside of the known characters.
