I still can’t stop but think how stretched out the Hobbit films were, for an otherwise short book. That’s a sin that stains forever with me. The Lord of the Rings films, do have their own flaws, but they’re fairly contained and can be debated as to whether they were good or not. I have so much trouble excusing anything with the Hobbit though.
And I hope we never, ever see anyone tackle The Silmarillion. Simply because, there will be so much improvised fluff in that would-be film, that it’d make the Hobbit films blush.
The biggest problem with Star wars is how each subsequent movie keeps inventing bigger bigger lasers to destroy more and more planets. It’s as if they can’t think of anything else.
In the last movie the first order destroyed multiple planets in one shot, despite the fact that they supposed to be this scrappy little fighting force that’s all that’s left of the empire. They’re supposed to be terrorists or something and yet they have technology that can rival the empire at its peak. How’s that supposed to work?
