I didn't mind them much. If any person on earth other than Tolkein himself has the right to "alter" the story a bit, it's Jackson. From start to finish I really, really liked it. Certainly a different tone than LOTR, but for the lighter tone of these Hobbit films I thought it was superb. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment! Wolf of Wall Street is a great film, but if you don't care for rated-R material, stay far away. Fingers crossed that Jack Ryan can start a sweet spy series! Not sure that he could do any better than Mission Impossible and James Bond's last iterations though. They were basically perfect in my eyes.

Jackson took way to many creative liberties with this one, imo. The parts that were actually in the book, felt too rushed and the parts that weren't,well... The dialogue was clunky, the 'romance' was awful, and all the action scenes had WAY too much CG. As good as LOTR? Not even close I'm afraid. But, hey, Smaug was pretty awesome. :)<br /><br />Haven't seen many of the other ones you mentioned but I did hear about The Wolf of Wall Street and I'm not sure how one would justify sitting through all of that filth.<br /><br />I did see Mitty, though, and it was quite good.<br /><br />Not really planning on seeing anything this month but we'll see. Jack Ryan looks interesting.<br /><br />Thanks for your reviews!Jake P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-87714745994729578852014-01-02T22:33:41.522-05:002014-01-02T22:33:41.522-05:00If it's anything like the third one then count...If it's anything like the third one then count me in! It's definitely a series that still has scares if its done with care and attention to detail.

Glad to hear I'm not the only still I interested in the PA series especially since they are doing a Hispanic offshoot now, hence the 2nd title.

I totally agree with <a href="http://suspendeddisbeliefsteve.blogspot.ca/2014/01/american-hustle-2013.html" rel="nofollow">American Hustle</a>, maybe they should have ended the movie with the last con and then just did a written summation.<a href="http://suspendeddisbeliefsteve.blogspot.ca/2013/12/lone-survivor-2013.html" rel="nofollow"> Lone Survivor</a> is easily best war movie of last decade. It also has an ending that is slightly off.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.com
