There’s reason why this section of the book wasn’t adapted the first go around.
So while I don’t doubt that Colbert is an LOTR super fan with excellent writing credentials, I have serious doubts that can make up for the deficiencies in the source material they are adapting.
The Gollum movie looks like shit and The Hobbit movies were shit.
If I were a betting man, I would wager that this movie will hue closer to the quality of The Hobbit adaptations than than to the original LOTR trilogy.
Oh and making this a father-son nepo project doesn’t help boost my confidence either.
I’ll say it. The Hobbit movies are better than the book. Tons of fighting, no stupid weird Tom bomdewhatever. I read the book after the movies and lost my damn mind when Bilbo got knocked out for the entire final battle. How fucking dumb. How contrived.
