My God, what an overlong, bloated, stupid and pointlessly loud movie. Most of it is just watching nameless sailors getting picked off by Weta Workshop's CGI monstrosities in overly elaborate action scenes (which brought to mind the worst parts of the Hobbit trilogy).
Also, Jack Black's character should've gotten his head torn off by Kong. The character was a massive piece of shit, all of the deaths were his fault but noo, we're supposed to think he's funny. He even gets to deliver the awful final solemn line the movie ends on.
Between this and the Hobbit movies it's a miracle his LOTR trilogy ended up being as good as it was. What a hack fraud
He’s a union buster too. Engaged in some back channel dealing with the NZ PM and warners bros while filing the hobbit to break a strike and making unionising here much harder for the film industry.
The part of the Lindsay Ellis video series detailing that shit made me truly angry
Oh haven’t seen that, will check it out. Yea watching your childhood heroes turn out to be terrible is lame
I recommend it, she even went to NZ to interview the crew and one of the Dwarf actors
