Not a big deal, in 5 years those that stick up for this disaster of a prequel will trashing it just as hard. By then they will be objective, will have gotten over their own personal investment and anticipation in film. Bitterness will linger for a year or two, but a year after the final film comes out the Hobbit Trilogy, if it carries on the way its going, will just be viewed as another missed opportunity.
Critical failure, 55 percent Metacritic, 65 percent RT and a tragic 50 percent rotten top critics.
It's inevitable that one day this film will be viewed as nothing more than the second coming of Episode 1, nothing can change that. But hopefully Jackson will have enough class to leave the original trilogy alone, and not tinker tailor soldier fvck with the classic moments in those films.
But part of me doubts it.
eh whatever. I enjoyed it and so did most people I talk to. Who cares what critics give a movie? When did they become the experts on personal preference entertainment? Ridiculous. Phantom Menace is on a level of bad this movie doesn't ever come near to. You're just probably a goofy fanboy purist. No one cares its different from the book besides purists. Loved it. 9/10 easily.
I really don't think the movie sucked though, and I'm not in denial. I really, truly enjoyed it. Why is it hard for people to understand that this is true for a lot of people? I'm also a huge fan of the books and LOTR films. Also, no, you sure as hell don't know how this film will be viewed in a few years, it's not inevitable. Know what your talking about, because the overwhelming majority of audiences enjoyed this film.
