[QUOTE="horacethegrey, post: 6852729, member: 40123"] It's my bloody list, so there. :p Seriously though, while I do have huge problems with[I] The Hobbit[/I] movies, I would never lump them in the same league of crap disappointments that is the [I]Star Wars [/I]Prequels. Aside from Smaug, the movies cast a perfect Bilbo in Martin Freeman, the Riddle scene with him and Gollum is wonderfully realized, the Dwarves were each given a distinct personality and look when in the book it was hard to tell them apart (my faves being Thorin, Balin, Dwalin and Bofur. Special mention should also go to Billy Connolly as Dain Ironfoot) and despite everything, Peter Jackson is able to coax out good performances from his actors, which is something George Lucas could never do in the Prequels (which the exception of Ian Mcdamrid as Palpatine). And I'm willing to cut Jackson some slack because he came on the project ill prepared (like I mentioned earlier, it was supposed to be Guillermo Del Toro's film), and the studio pressure didn't really help either (forcing him to make it a trilogy was the biggest mistake). Had he been given more time to prepare and more control of the project, I think we would have a very good pair of movies (like it was originally planned) instead of the bloated trilogy that we ended up getting.
