The middle chapter in a trilogy that should have never been 3 movies drags its heels on streaming

From the very beginning, there was very little chance The Hobbit trilogy would come close to recapturing the magic that made Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy such a landmark achievement in cinema that will endure forever as a story for the ages, but the worst decision without a doubt was to extend the prequels to three films.

It was a call that was clearly and cynically made to extract as much money as possible from the enduring popularity of the blockbuster Middle-earth saga, and if that scans as possibly a touch too harsh, let’s not forget that The Hobbit was only announced to be a trio in July of 2012. That’s a full 16 months after shooting had started, and only five before An Unexpected Journey was due to release.
