i was a big fan of the first trilogy.
I didnt' watch the episode 2 of this new trilogy yet.
i think GoT filled my ''medieval-fantasy-needs'' greatly. But maybe i should watch that episode 2 now.</blog>

Looks like this is actually going to be 3 movies now rather than 2.
- they should just try and make one really good one. who cares if its 3 hours long, just one stupid movie is enough.uuuuuu
- Yeah Im sure all 3 will be terrible just like all of the LOTRs were some of the worst movies ever.CygnusZero4
- i think thats sarcasm... the hobbit isn't 3 parts, why even have two? one good hobbit movie would be great but no.uuuuuu
- Do you realize how much story they're trying to squeeze into 6-8 hours? A hell of a lot.CygnusZero4
- you could do it in 2 1/2 hoursuuuuuu

Viggo Mortensen interview: Peter Jackson sacrificed subtlety for CGI

Jackson should play the Hobbit himself...he looks perfect for the part

I find it interesting that they are quite willing to turn their backs on a generation who will probably not have read said books (or even know about them for that matter), just because they don't like the way it is adapted. I know for a fact that when the LOTR films came out there was a massive resurgence in the popularity of the original books - is that really a bad thing? There is also the obvious thing about royalities ie they'd make a fuck tonne, but I guess they are pretty well off regardless...

Given that they had to sue the studios to get the royalties that were properly owed to them for LOTR movies, I am sure there is a taste of ashes in their mouth about any and all of it.http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/tv/s…
This was one of the issues that held up the Hobbit from being made sooner.

This is not like switching from bw to color tvs, which everyone saw as a great improvement. I watched a documentary on it. This is more like switchIng from albums to cassettes. Ppl who loved albums did not like what they perceived as a sound difference.
So basically george lucas shoots new star wars movies digitally with advanced chi effects = garbage
James cameron shoots avatar with improved 3d effects = garbage
Peter jackson shoots hobbit in 48fps = garbage
Chris nolan shoots dark knight on film with practical effects and 24fps = highest rated superhero movie of all time?
*sings* which of these things is not like the other
- avatar and new star wars = shitty script and acting and directing. dark knight = good acting and script.monospaced
- almost nothing to do with special effectsmonospaced
- I wouldn't call Dark Knight a great script... the last 20 minutes could have been cut, no need for dent to go crazy, etc.zarkonite
- and the new star wars looked like shit cuz they were shot like shit, I could do better with an 8mm cam.zarkonite
- umm dark knight had a ton of fx in itrobotinc

cygnus, i don't think you read the entire story because it sounds like things are actually not going very well.
- That cant possibly be a serious response.CygnusZero4
- yes it is. pffft.prophet
- Then you clearly have no sense for sarcasm.CygnusZero4

it really is too bad he's leaving because he brings great visual style to his flicks. i bet he would have done some cool things with this project. hellboy II was the cat's ass.
