I think if he had better producers behind him and these split movies were popular then, Jackson would've done a better job with LotR. I actually really liked the first Hobbit movie, especially the extended edition. My only complaint was that all the orc and goblin fight and chase scenes were dreadfully long and boring, and they fucked with Radagast which infuriated me. Fingers are crossed that they don't do the same with Beorn.<br/><br/>As for the new Trek movies. I don't think of them as "not Trek", just more like "frat boy party Trek". It's a box of wine, while Trek prime is a good (sometimes fine) bottle of wine. Good for what it is. But just doesn't have the depth of flavor.<div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=191946.msg9320111#msg9320111">Quote from: AndyZ on 12-12-2013, 17:44:18</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I appreciate that they took some time to make some serious changes to the timeline to explain all the other many changes that they're making to the setting.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Yeah, I like the whole timeline thing. Though some of the black hole stuff made no scientific sense.
