Subject: It looks like the Hobbit is the new Phantom Menace


Posted by: Forever MS
Overlong, boring, too much CGI, annoying characters, nowhere near as good as the original trilogy, made exclusively to milk a franchise...

What difference is there between this and the Phantom Menace?


Must you keep doing this? It's pathetic.

But The Hobbit was written and set before The Lord of the Rings.

If anything, they were written to extend the franchise and make more money.

Checkmate OP.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

no, just no. Stop, please.
I loved that movie, don't you dare compare it to the Phantom menace. That movie was utter garbage.

Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo

J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit as a children's book. It was not intentionally designed as a direct prequel to LotR, in fact, when he wrote it, he didn't write in the power of the Ring because he had no idea what he was going to do with it yet. It was short, with easy to understand: conflict, characters, and moral dilemmas with very little tension.

Peter Jackson could have just rehashed The Hobbit as a movie that did just that, but instead he decided to add material from history and lore found written in other material by Tolkien such as the Untold Stories, Silmarilian, and the Appendices to make his rendition of The Hobbit much broader in scope. The movie isn't overly long, it's the introduction, and as with introductions it can seem slightly tedious at times. He laid the foundation for future conflict and branching stories which he merely hinted at in this story, granted, most people won't notice these slight jabs, but they're there for those who wish to find them.

Watch this 70 minute review of The Phantom Menace (it comes in 7 parts) and that should help explain why The Hobbit is nothing at all like The Phantom Menance.

Nothing can be as bad as the Phantom Menace and this isn't...

So much this.

The Hobbit is its own thing.

Maybe because it's in the same universe with the same director?

Uh...Hobbit has elves and magic and dragons and stuff. Phantom Menace has pod racing and space travel and Jar Jar Binks.

Big difference, bro.

He who cannot command himself should obey. And many can command themselves, but much is still lacking before they can obey themselves.
--Thus Spoke Zarathustra

You're crazy. The movie was amazing.

I swear... some people have horrendous taste.
