Hands down, for the production money that went into it, The Hobbit trilogy.

This is the only movie series that legitimately made me mad. The book seemed so simple to adapt to the screen. Just follow the book, with a little cut out to help with screen time, and watch the money roll in. Instead, we got one of the worst book adaptations Hollywood's ever seen.

You make more money with a trilogy!

Just make each movie of the trilogy 30 minutes long! Copy the TikTok hype and call them "shorts"!

The live-action Hobbit movies are the only movies that have a worse budget-to-quality ratio than Star Wars Episode II

Episode II aged better than Episode I. I'll die on this high ground.

In much the same way roadkill ages better than a roadside piss bottle

Words do indeed matter.

From the moment they decided to milk it for three movies I knew it was going to suck. It's a simple little adventure story ffs.
