This was Peter Jacksons re-write of the Hobbit.. I went to see the Hobbit brought to life in film. The Main villain in the movie is a creation of Jacksons, he’s completely changed the story to include that plot. The rest of the movie is great, but adding to one of the greatest works of literary fiction of all time is just wrong.

I do agree it was disheartening to find out that the main villain was an animation. However, given the exaggerated and in-depth idea behind it there is no way they could have made a costume that would have satisfied the height needed, the detail and the swift movements of the orc. It would have moved too awkwardly if it was all a costume.

Thank you! If people can’t take away anything from The Hobbit book, let alone the movie, a story of adventure, sacrifice, friendship and learning to have faith and push the boundaries of your comfort zone and eventually learn to step outside of it, I feel very bad for you and truly hope your comprehension and understanding of good literature and text improves.

Judging by your evaluation of the harry potter movies you probably haven’t read the books which were very different from the movie and in no way capture the mesmerizing and unforgettable plot of the book. Also, you cannot judge a movie by it’s length. Your evaluation of the length of the movie bothering you also leads me to believe that you didn’t read the book The Hobbit, which if you had you would have realized though the book may be 278 pages, it is almost all summarized. The book very rarely goes into detail, making it absolutely impossible for the movie to put all the action PLUS the detail into 2 hours or less. And you must care to take into account that if Tolkien had never written The Hobbit you never would have gotten your precious Lord of the Rings movies. My advice, start reading the books before you go leaving arrogant comments for movies you don’t know the story behind.

i think that is a good point, its to much of a difference from the LOTR series, the orc is a little too much but still a great movie

it was a great movie but to break it into three parts i think is insane, the movie will be 8 to 9 hours long

It was boring thru half of the movie. It would have been much better if it was half the length. There is no comparison to the Lord of the Rings Movies or Harry Potter which were GREAT.

My only problem with the movie is that after all the money Jackson made on the LOR trilogy, he could have given us more real people with more elaborate make up and quality sets instead of CGI everything. It just doesn’t give you a profound effect when the main orc villian is a cartoon.

failing to find Frodo the Eagle can always drop you…
