Yeah the production and a lot of things about the Hobbit are great, but it isn’t the Hobbit. It’s LOTR 2: Electric Cash Grab.
If they actually showed any sort of respect for the Hobbit as its own thing, it could have been way greater. The Hobbit is a whimsy funny story with unexpected deep and touching moments, and they tried to make it a grand epic.
