I agree, but I think one of the most extraordinary things about the films is that I found them to match visually with the way I'd imagined the books - and everybody I've spoken to who knows and loves the books feels the same way. That's pretty rare, I suspect.Nina Butler wrote: ↑11 May 2017, 14:21 I would have to say that the books are better for the simple fact that a lot of stuff was taken out of the movie. I know they have time constraints and only so much money to work with.

That being said, I think the three movies of the Hobbit were a bit unnecessary and not as well done as the Lord of The Rings. While the Hobbit was originally meant to be a child's novel, Jackson often changed the tone of the Hobbit moves from a more serious fantasy to a farcical "oh look the fat hobbit broke the chair while eating too much food haha" moments. It was jarring for me personally. However this topic is about Lord of the Rings specifically, not the Hobbit.
