I stopped watching any of these after the first LOTR movie(which I found to be fairly good) because I do not like the politics of Peter Jackson. What he did with the visually spectacular but loaded with leftist baggage, King Kong, was reprehensible. the original KK, as dated as it is, still is the best. the 70s Jessica Lang vehicle was laughable and like I already said...the Jackson version was gorgeous, Andy Serkis is a genius. but Jack Black was horribly miscast along with Adrien Brody. and the characters were either wimps, faggots(perhaps pedophile faggots), self absorbed melancholy ridden types or dyed skin zombies. Heroism was cleansed from the original Willis O’Brien Merian C. Cooper vehicle, by Jackson in this remake except when Jackson made into a caricature to be mocked, along with Jackson’s pperceived view of racism that he seemed to be apologizing for(apologizing for the 1933 movie).
so I will not give Jackson any more money than he already has pilfered from me......especially when JRR Tolkien who was a highly religious Christian would be horrified to find a Leftist tampering with his masterwork.
When you use schoolyard insults like "faggot" its demeaning and an attempt to take someone dignity. Not to meantion what difference does it make if the person is homosexual in a movie. If you take such exception to gays I guess you should never go to any retail establishment, restaurant, watch most TV shows, have your wife or GF get her hair cut, etc, etc, etc. Love the sinner hate the sin brother. Using the word "faggot" kind of displays your an idiot. I'd lose that filthy word form your vocabulary if you want anyone outside your family to really take you seriously.

Tolkien was NOT religious you are confusing him with his contemporary C.S. Lewis and Lewis would take exception to being called religious, he was a devout Christian but a not very religious.
I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy, it wasn’t perfect by any means but close enough for me to love watching it (multiple times)
But the Hobbit?? I saw the first one....ok. The second one....dumb and contrived. The book was good enough PJ, you didn’t have to, ahem, “improve” on it!!!!
In other words, the second one wasn’t any good.
You’re not missing anything by skipping The Hobbit II; it strayed far from the script, and instead of using filler like The Hobbit I (that described current events only discussed later in The Lord of the Rings), The Hobbit II was rife with useless PC filler and outright inaccuracies intended to stretch it to 3 movies (I always wondered how they made that little book into 3 long movies - mystery solved).
BTW, the first Hobbit movie was pretty good.
