Instead we get a short novel stretched into 3 movies with tons of made-up bullshit.

Fuck you, Peter Jackson.

Also those events are from The Silmarillion and it hasn't been sold like The Hobbit and LOTR so you can't make a movie or anything from it.

Most of the shit in the Hobbit movies isn't even in the book, so I don't see how that's any better.

Then again the entire argument "Hurr its not as popular as the fucking fantasy bible so you can't adapt it" stinks of retardation.

It really was, which is why it deserves a better treatment than Jackson is giving it.

That book had too much content for one film, unless we go for the three hour special. However, I think it would have say nicely at two hours, as the made up shit is unnecessary.


Though I do love Bilbo and Smaug's interaction in the film, I'm glad they put that in.


As for Bombadil in the Fellowship, I am happy that was not added in. Three entire chapters jut listening to him sing and shit.

I should read it again. I need to read more.

There's so much more to be done with that World.
Real god damn shame Jackson majorly fucked up his second attempt.
