    The Hobbit trilogy were the most egregiously bad films I've seen. Stupid love triangle, random inclusions of characters, dragged out way too long, shitty CGI, etc etc. I don't need to dunk on the Hobbit, we all know it's bad, but coming from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, my favorite movies ever, they're so fucking sad. You can see the start of Jackson's downfall in Return of the King with the heavy use of CGI and Legolas flipping up an elephant and killing it in five seconds, but that's nothing compared to the shitfest that is the hobbit

    The most cringe movie I've seen is Ready Player One. The plot is stupid and the references are just "look, it's master chief! Look it's overwatch! Look it's Gundam! You must like our movie now!"

        It's called "The Tolkien Edit" and it improves the movie (it's all one 4 hour movie) tremendously. I totally forgot that elf chick even existed until there was one scene where they couldn't avoid showing her.

        It's like "The Phantom Edit" where someone went through and improved The Phantom Menace. Jar-Jar gets about two lines before being reduced to a character that stands around in the background for seemingly no reason.

          There are more edits , probably a nice hobby for aspiring directors. The "Tolkien edit" is probably the most famous but was apparently made with great haste.
