But why did they decide to make three instead of two movies, no wonder they haven´t had enough time…
My guess is the studio wanted three blockbusters for a revenue stream instead of just two.
“Peter Jackson admits he didn’t know what he was doing on the Hobbit movies”
The godawful quality of those films makes that clear. But I know from experience that Jackson has a horde of fanboys who think he can do no wrong (as long as he’s not making “chick flicks” like The Lovely Bones, which was flawed but still a million times better than the Hobbit trilogy).
Eric, apparently expanding the Hobbit movies from 2 to 3 movies was Peter Jackson’s idea which he pitched to the studio. However, the fact that this decision was done in the middle of the production of the first movie, shows once again how little was thought out ahead of time.
On top of it, they had to shoot it in 60 fps, which looks just terrible on film. So glad that higher frame rates never took off. I want my movies to look like movies, thanks.
Seriously?! I don’t understand why people don’t enjoy the Hobbit. Yes, it’s not as good as LoTR but nothing was going to be regardless of how much prep time there was.
