    I'm more of a usenet sailor, but the Pirate Bay seems to have "The Hobbit M4 Book Edit" available. It seems to be the most liked edit, although it is rather long, there are shorter ones available (see the linked post).

    Awesome, I haven't heard of this before! I'm trying to download it via torrent from their website but it seems like it has zero seeds though 😭

      It's been a while, but that would be Sin City 2 for me. Back then I was young and naive, and didn't know that 99% of sequels are soulless cashgrabs. And I was really hyped, I loved the first one and still think of it as the best comic book adaptation I've ever seen. You could see the love in every frame.

          The problem with the Hobbit movies was that they were too much like the Lord of the Rings movies.

          Maybe in the sense that they were aiming to be a long epic similar to the LotR, rather than the fun adventure the book that the Hobbit book is.
          But i'd say that there are far more issues than just that.

            Imo worse than just them being bad is the gap between their quality and the potential of what could have been.

                I'm not going to argue about a movie neither one of us has seen in over 20 years.

                You're under no obligation to continue the discussion, sure, but it seems disingenuous to me to open a thread saying "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a bad movie because it fails to follow it's own internal logic". Then, upon having that assertion challenged, you jump to, "I'm not gonna argue about this." Like, why comment at all if you're not interested in discussing, and yes, maybe even defending, your take? Regardless, if that's not what you're here to do, have a good day.

                    Fury Road 2: They got rid of a lot of the practical effects that made the first one great. The plot and pacing was off. I was just annoyed because of how much I liked the first one.

                      The Avatar the last air bender ( live action ) movie. I was a child when the movie came out so I had no clue who the director was and how shitty of a movie I was in for. The ending recked me since it didn’t even have a satisfying conclusion. Just pure garbage

                      I was in genuine shock of how bad of a movie I’d gotten into. Never again

                        Transformers. I was very excited when this was announced, but it became a cold-water shower when Michael Bay was mentioned as director. Still, I had a sliver of hope that it would be at least on par with The Rock... It wasn't.

                          If you actually thought I was under no obligation, you wouldn't have sent your note, which I consider a masterpiece of passive aggressiveness.

                          I throw it back at you. You had all afternoon to actually watch the movie and present extensive notes.

                          Like, why did you comment at all?

                              the book and the movie have absolutely nothing in common besides the name. it was such a disapointing mediocre zombie film, based on a really good book that used "zombies" to explore war, survival, refuge crisis...

                                True. Although to his defense my understanding is that Peter Jackson came in late as a replacement and at least partially did it because otherswise many people would have been out of a job (presumably people in new Zealand that he knew well). Watching the behind the scenes extras imo show a quite stark contrast compared to the LotR trilogy.

                                    My biggest problem with this the sequels is that Luke's character just got completely butchered.

                                    You really want me to believe that one of my childhood heros, who against all odds, against his mentors judgement, decided to go all in on the "There's good in my father, I'll save him or die."-train would grow old and wants to kill his own fucking nephew because he's seeing something evil in him?

                                    That was last Jedi though, was it not?
                                    I never watched rise of Skywalker, the Luke story ended with him vanishing into the force at the end of last Jedi if I recall correctly.

                                      Arrival is leagues above interstellar in that regard imo.

                                        Suicide squad (2018 2016) was a disaster and a tremendous letdown.

                                        Though that was clear by the time it actually hit cinemas, so more of a continuous descent from its first announcement to its actual release

                                          Dull dialogue. Wooden acting. Jar Jar Binks. What a disappointment.
