i think gurrillamole del tonto was asked by the studio to turn his 2 movie plan into 3 movies.
and he realised it couldnt be done without breaking everything. so he took a way out.
What surprises me is that Peter Jackson said yes to work for the company that he had only just finished sueing to get his fair LOTR profit share.

no the fuck it isn’t. they took a 300 page book and made a trilogy of 2 1/2 hour movies out of it while shoehorning in a bunch of OC bullshit to pad out the running times. i remember walking out of battle of five armies so pissed off. FUCK the hobbit movies.

Hobbit 1 is kino (the first half anyway)
It suffers from the same multiple endings that people complain about (I don't care about that I have much worse issues with it)
All smushed into the last 4 minutes:
Why Did you Come Back?The End?
Out of the Frying Pan...
Oh Noes, Thorin's Dead!
Sike, Thorin's Not Dead!

All I know about this debacle is from that Lindsay Ellis video: iirc he was initially only a producer and was forced to step in in order to keep the production in NZ and save the jobs of his compatriots.

Yeah, Hackson really outed himself. His lotr was kinda sloppy and generic but at least it had cool real effects and some decent actors like based Vigo.

That studio had the IP rights and was going to do everything they could to squeeze every last dollar out of it they could, so the people involved in the first trilogy decided that if someone was going to get paid, it may as well be them.
