John Marston Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 The Hobbit Trilogy > Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. Nothing against the Star Wars Prequels though...i liked that franchise too. But i think The Hobbit trilogy is a more stronger prequel trilogy. Martin Freeman's acting as Bilbo, is far better and more convincing than Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker. The acting for the cast in this trilogy is better. (Granted, they have some of the original cast, like Ian McKellen, Orlando Bloom, etc. We could actually feel for the characters, like Bilbo, Thorin, Gandalf, etc. Agree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misafeco Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I would also say that is more popular than unpopular. The Hobbits were probably received well enough to have them sit there as the more childish and less-epic little brothers of LotR. Personally I started out really rooting for TH... but with BotFA which simply wasn't a finished movie when it hit theatres I really couldn't hold back my disappointment with the trilogy, especially the poor they handled the time they were given to tell the story. I hope the EE of BotFA will improve the at löeast as much as DoS was improved by the extended scenes... that way one could actually watch a pretty great version of TH, at least if one is fastforarding some of the really bad stuff. But compared to SW, they are so much better... the production design and acting alone elevate them to a whole different level. I disagree. The Hobbit trilogy will be treated like the SW prequels in 10 years by the public IMO. Critically (RT) they are already equal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critically (RT) they are already equal. There is no Hayden Christensen or lines about sand so it Better not be lol Not to mention it at least looks like it takes place in the same world as the originals I don't think there will be extreme opinions either way Edited October 9, 2015 by John Marston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubes Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 First Blood is a modern classic. Frankly, I'm surprised at how many people disagreed when I brought it up in conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TServo2049 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Are these people who have actually seen First Blood, or are they people who assume it's the same as the other Rambo movies?

Webslinger Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I'm pretty sure that I have brought this one up at some other point in this thread (chalk it up to irregular posting and general laziness to check on such matters), but I still think that Love and Other Drugs is one of the most underrated movies of the 2010s to date. It's not Best Picture material, mind you, but it's one of this decade's smartest, sexiest (OHDEARGOD is it ever), and best-acted romantic comedies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 ROTS > OT And while I'm at it, Nostalgia Critics said it perfectly: when he's not delivering any of Lucas' godawful dialogue, Hayden C gives a pretty good performance. When he acts with his facial expressions, the guy is intimidating and demands a screen presence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShouldIBeHere Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 People prefer the star wars prequels to the hobbit prequels hence no_one gave a shit about the final installment and every installment suffered admission drops. So his comment is unpopular. In the US, yes. Worldwide AUJ and BotFA had pretty similar admission numbers for all we know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23IsEverywhere Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 These are bound to be unpopular: The star wars prequels were more entertaining films than the Hobbit movies. Also The Kingsman was better than any of the Bond films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
