Hobbit off

Even though I have no interest whatsoever in the Hobbit movies, I see that quite a few reviewers really seem to be glad to see the back of the whole, drawn out, Peter Jackson obsession with Tolkien.

I got to that position ahead of them: after about 60 minutes into the first Rings movie.

In other "I am not alone about movie trends" news - I see Tim Burton says the Marvel superhero formula is getting boring.  True, even if I found Guardians of the Galaxy pretty good.  (But being an outright comedy meant it was not part of the formula - and the characters were not superheros, either.)

  1. Prefer the books to the LOTR moves but I think the Hobbits movies are far superior to the bok which I always found boring.

  3. Yes, I was being generous, Tim.

    I was personally got bored with them long ago, but I have never been a big superhero fan.
