Okay, Tolkien did an amazing job with creating Middle-Earth and yes, the movies weren't an accurate portrayal of the books, BUT I love the movies. From watching the behind the scenes vlogs, you can tell how much work and dedication Peter Jackson and the crew put in and it's really fun to watch. I was really impressed with how he handled the dwarves because you have to differentiate them on screen as opposed to in the book and I was quite excited to see characters like Legolas come back. Tauriel was an unexpected addition and the love triangle was kind of unnecessary, but separating it from the fact that it was in Middle-Earth, it was a beautiful love story and now I'm even sadder that Kili died.Grace Bela wrote: ↑15 May 2020, 17:47 For a bit of background, I've always been a big fan of both Tolkien and fantasy movies. So when I heard about the Hobbit movies coming out, I was so excited. While the trilogy is blatantly untrue to the book, I honestly still loved it. Which I know is a VERY unpopular opinion. Seeing characters of one of my favorite books come to life was such an amazing experience. Martin Freeman was a wonderful choice for Bilbo and I was in awe of watching Smaug on the big screen. Even though it wasn't always what you would expect from the book and added a lot of material, I really like the trilogy's plot. What do you guys think about the movies versus the books? Did you enjoy the movies or think that they're not that great?
