The tomatometer rating...:(

sad panda

I thought there might have been a chance for the 2nd and 3rd movies to elevate the trilogy to greatness, but I think we'll have to accept that The Hobbit Trilogy will be considered good, but not great.

I know I might be speaking too early though...
 
I know this is typically a go-to defense of fanboy-ism, but some of the negative reviews almost read as though the reviewers went in determined to dislike the movie because of it's shear existence, which sort of tosses objectivity out the window. You'd think after AUJ some people would have come to terms with what this trilogy is - Peter Jackson's prequel trilogy to The Lord of the Rings that by pure coincidence happens to cover the major events from The Hobbit.

With AUJ it was clear as day that this is not JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit, so why anyone would waste time by being outraged at this point is beyond me.

I know it's only 11 reviews in but wow, please don't stay in the 60's.

How can some say it's better than TTT and say it's in the top 10 movies of the year while others think it's just bad?
I think the early reviewers were most likely nerds. But I also saw some DeS reviewers who liked the new one but thought AUJ was boring. It's really up in the air.

It seems all the new reviews coming out are all positive. Haven't seen another negative review since slant. Now 78%

RISE indeed :P
