Like, it's not even close. The 1977 cartoon is crisp, has beautiful artwork, and more closely matches the spirit of the books. Jackson's Hobbit trilogy meanwhile is a bloated mess. I was so bored and uninterested I couldn't even finish the third movie.

    I just accept the first two Jackson movies which were somewhat decent (minus the "love story") and fill in the rest with the final part of the 1977 cartoon. I just want to forget about the pile of shit that was the third Hobbit movie...

      I don't think I can ever forget about that shamelessly corny part where legolas (who shouldn't even be in the main story) runs up falling debris like a wuxia movie

      I love anime shit as much as the next guy but come on

      I'm not even sure if that was the third movie, I was pretty high. But I'll never forget it.

      Also the garbage CGI with smaug. The dragon looked cool but nothing else about that seen did. The molten gold? Wtf
