Jar Jar is literally the only bad thing about the prequels. You are cherry picking when you use him to say the movies were bad.

>Del toro drops the Hobbit in Jackson's lap right before it starts film
>lol why the Hobbit turn out so bad

I don't get the Hackson meme, is it just uninformed idiots or what?

Scott was always a hack who just like Lucas was surrounded by people way more talented and smarter than him that had the balls to stand up and stop them from ruining those classic movies.

I hate RLM but I've got to agree with them when it comes to Cameron. He is master of making brain dead blockbuster movies. You might hate them for what they are but they don't pretend to be something deeper and greater.

Jackson got fucked by Del Toro and he pretty much took the blame and did those movies anyway cause of pure love he has for Tolkien's work. Normally he would prepare himself years before shooting. He is just a very systematic director who needs time and preparation.

Spielberg is just old and he gets involved in those bad projects.

He's still responsible for the end product. If he didn't or couldn't make it right he shouldn't have.

"Last minute" doesn't explain why he inserted so much bullshit. It doesn't excuse the lack of focus in the story. Why Legolas is back. Forced love story. Forced stronk womyn elements.

Why is the thing three goddamn movies when they clearly didn't have material for that?

why is cameron there?

It's always so easy for you NEET faggots to assign blame isn't it, without even trying to think about the logistics that go into, you think they could just scrap the damn thing and just be done with it?

Fucking mong

Cameron has been doing the Disney blockbuster formula longer than Disney has been doing it. I wouldn't be surprised if they brought him in as a consultant for how make 100% mass appeal movies.

Unironically Jar-Jar is the one I find least annoying among those.

Explain this Hackson.

>Midway through production, the studio says they want you o split the originally planned 2 movies into 3

This is a blatant lie. Hackson didn't get his normal prep time, so at the end of principal photography he hadn't figured out the battle of the five armies sequence, so he panicked and called the studio and lied about having enough material for 3 movies, that way he could push the battle shit back another year.

This also answers this question >>84243383
So much shit was inserted because he had come up with an extra 3 hours of content for it to work as a trilogy. Now I'm not defending Hackson, even with prep time he still would have put in stupid shit, we saw this in the lotr trilogy, but the Hobbit would have been significantly better as just two movies.

its old age and their brains starting to go.
directors peak between the ages of 30 to 50 then after that its dementia time.
