I still can't stop but think how stretched out the Hobbit films were, for an otherwise short book. That's a sin that stains forever with me. The Lord of the Rings films, do have their own flaws, but they're fairly contained and can be debated as to whether they were good or not. I have so much trouble excusing anything with the Hobbit though.
And I hope we never, ever see anyone tackle The Silmarillion. Simply because, there will be so much improvised fluff in that would-be film, that it'd make the Hobbit films blush.
I marathoned it blind, and I wasnt a Halo lore nut or anything, and I love me some space opera, yet it was just... a soap opera in a bad way? I couldnt believe it was a Halo game.
I heard even worse things about 5. And Infinite was such a waste of potential given the massive budget and the giant open world they barely did anything with.
