The effect of that was that there was waaaay more visual data and you could far more easily make out resin props like Gandalf's staff having a straight seam in it from manufacturing and so on. In theatres it looked way, way worse that it does on youtube. It was amazing how bad it looked. I saw it in theatres and it was almost on the level of looking for hidden cameras and thinking it was a prank showing.

For 20 year old films LOTR only has a few janky special effects in them, but they weren't made with HD in mind. I'm sure if you were to watch them on DVD on an old tube TV they'd look flawless. No clue why The Hobbits looked so careless.

I was working with a team building a VR demo of Smaug’s lair or something with WETA assets, and someone who had worked on the Hobbit came by to see a demo of it. While we were waiting for his turn in the demo room, the person inside it could be loudly heard to exclaim “this looks so much better than the Hobbit, what a piece of poo poo that was”, and Hobbit dude looked pretty surprised and pissed. But surely he must have known it looked awful, and that people talked about that?

The production schedule was a total mess after they turfed Del Toro and threw out 18 months of pre production then turned 2 films into 3 and rushed the whole mess out without giving VFX enough time to do their job properly.

IMO, it’s Prequel Trilogy Syndrome - the CG in those is atrocious, and it’s largely because George Lucas decided that he was no longer constrained by the limits of reality thanks to CG and decided to basically make ILM make him a cartoon with actors dancing around on top of it sometimes. Ironically, that’s not too far off from how blockbusters are made today. But even as recently as The Hobbit, things just weren’t there yet.

the hobbit opens with this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5BETb-hLgA and if that doesn't get you completely fuckin fired up to go on an adventure into the misty mountains to find the long-forgotten gold, there's something wrong with you. but that is the highest point of the whole thing. everything is downhill from ten minutes in.

The first hobbit movie came out in 2012 Iron Man 2 released in 2010. Avengers came out in 2012. 300 came out in 2007 Good CGI and effective meshing of actors with digital sets wasnt some unexplored frontier, they just hosed it up and didn’t give post production enough time.

Because you are drenched in classist American stereotypes and don't realize that rednecks are the same everywhere, i.e. they party like motherfuckers and occasionally have some extremely challenging opinions.

Recently watched this on Gemini Man, which was filmed in 4k, 3D, 120 fps. https://youtu.be/qlGdHd-XHcY It takes so much light to render each frame that it could only be filmed in bright daylight or flooded by artifical lights, which washes out the image and flattens everything. I can see Hobbit suffering from the same issues going 3D, 48 fps.

I just watched that Lindsay Ellis series on YouTube about this yesterday when someone here linked it Don't overlook the problem of it being a production run by the studio. There's so much poo poo wrong with big budget filmmaking in the past fifteen years, but the absolute worst is studio execs taking over a lot of what had been the director's job and running it by committee even before the director is actually on board. Studio interference has always been a thing going right back to Thomas Edison, it's just gotten so much worse. Those boring, personality-less CGI driven action scenes that add nothing to the movie? That stuff happens because the scenes are planned, developed, and have production started on them months and sometimes years before things like a script or director is decided. That seemed to be the biggest single problem with the Hobbit movies to my eyes. Well, at least the problems that appeared on screen.
