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.
You remember Highlander 2?
Yeah, me neither.
Editing to add: Eragon. The only, one singular, thing that film got right was the opening scene. The rest of the film was an epic, blot-out-the-sun middle finger to the book and the fans.
My biggest gripe with Eragon… It’s Dragon, with the first letter switched out.
That’s hardly the worst Highlander movie, at least it had Michael Ironside. The Source was garbage.
To be fair, the book was a middle finger to the book and fans.
And Highlander 2 isn’t even the worst Highlander movie. Hell, I’d argue that on a ranking list of all Highlander movies and shows it would be right in the middle.
To be clear, I’m not saying Highlander 2 isn’t bad. I’m just saying that the franchise has somehow managed to produce things that are far worse. There’s a reason that basically every entry in the series is a reboot of one kind or another.
Highlander 2 was so bad you can’t even find it anymore. All you can find is the Renegade cut, which is also very bad.
