I watched it, but honestly it’s still far, far too much for just the Hobbit. 4 hours, I think? I’m pretty sure I could just read the book in that time.
The writers couldn’t have made anything good out of what little they were licensed to use, IMO.
But the main complaint online, that Galadriel is abrasive and bossy, doesn’t gel with me because that’s literally part of her character growth. I’m too lazy to look up the exact passage in the Silmarillion, but the reason she joined the Noldor’s exodus out of Aman was to set herself up as a ruler. By the time the Fellowship meets her in LOTR she’s thousands of years wiser.
I strongly dislike when a single book is turned into multiple movies. You get 1-2 movies of nothing but set-up and trying to turn minor events into a climax, then one manic movie of nothing but climax
I’ll do you one better.
I like Tolkien, and I like Rings of Power. No its not a perfect adaptation, but its fine. Its better than those god awful Hobbit movies.
The M4’s Hobbit version has vastly improved my opinion of the Hobbit movie(s). I now include it in my yearly LOTR marathon.
