How does this movie have an 8?


Yes it is fairly entertaining at times, but I can think of so many better movies with lower scores. This film tries so hard to be a great epic like Lord of the Rings but it only succeeds at being a cartoon parody of Tolkiens world. The constant misplaced humor and cartoon-style renditions just totally kill this series for me, never mind the ridiculous amounts of pointless filler crammed in to stretch the length of each film.

A better question is why are you on this board?

reply

Very legit question. I initially gave it a 10/10 because I was a blind fan and I used to have utter trust in PJ. I changed my rating to a 4/10, which I think it deserves.

I gave it a 6, I think it's the number that best represents the concept of "mediocrity".

The character development was a disappointment.

Well I for one think its a great film and deserves its rating

Just because it doesn't live up to LOTR (what movie does) doesn't mean we can't give it an 8.

You are a human with free will so do as you wish. But when the masterpiece LOTR films are are closer to a 9, why give such a mediocre trilogy of films a rating only slightly below?

reply

I personally give them all a 7 (The Hobbit trilogy that is). But on IMDb I give them an 8 only because they deserve a higher rating since there are a lot of films here that have an undeserving high rating, so why not these?

reply

Stenian, I gave them exactly the number they deserved in my opinion (rounding them off)
7 (6,8)-7 6,7)-6 (6,2)

Confirming you are a tool is a brave thing to do!

I would never give a movie that I didn't see a rating
