I'll try and keep this is mind moving forward so I dont get your panties in a bunch but not agreeing with everything you say and think every movie is great bc it has a great book or big budget attached to it.
I do think I tend to be negative towards a lot of films coming out today but I think its with good reason. I feel majority of movies being produced today are lacking in quality when compared to films of past generations. I blame CGI and would love for just one year for Hollywood to be able to use it. It's annoying that terrible films like Spiderman 3, or the sitter get tons of publicity and marketing behind it yet great films like Drive (to use a recent example) have almost no marketing and is out of the theaters in 2 weeks. The Blind side is up for an Oscar (LMAO what a joke that movie was terrible) yet Blue Valentine isn't? How is that even possible? Blue Valentine was probably the best movie out that year. Hollywood is in a rut and uses CGI as a crutch, great storytelling is hard to come in a movie anymore along with decent acting or character development. Some of my friends call me a movie snob, which I can see and agree with, but even objectively I think most would agree majority of the big budget movies are ****.
I dont doubt the Hobbit will be decent, but lets be honest. If you've seen The Lord of the Rings, you've already seen this movie.
I never said the Hobbit will be great. Heck, I never even said it looks great. I think it will be
entertaining based off of the LOTR trilogy. It just seems any time someone tosses out a new film, you are the first one to shoot it down because "it's the cool thing to do" or something. I mean, no one is proclaiming these as academy award winners. They are simply mentioning films that
should be entertaining, and I tend to agree/think that 75% of them are. You, on the other hand, it's more like 5%. I find that sad/disturbing that you cannot find entertainment in movies like this.
For example, I bet you hated Will Smith's
Wild Wild West. Sure it was corny and not even close to the best motion picture ever, but it still was very entertaining and I got a lot of enjoyment out of watching it.
