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
