Yeah now that you mention it I don't think I've disliked anything more than the Hobbit films.

I think they have to top my list. Both from the fact they managed to be boring (which is quite a feat, given what's going on) and the fact they shat all over one of my favourite books from when I was a kid.

Turning a short, whimsical children's book into a boring 'epic' that had absolutely no charm whatsoever. Grim.

The characters not being in danger during anything just makes it stupid. On the one hand its all serious stuff (tm) and then the barrel scene happens....

The mines was the worst for that for me. It was like a video game cutscene. Hundreds of goblins killed with no effort whatsoever. No sense of danger or tension in the slightest.

The BBC audiobook I listened to as a kid had a thousand times more character/atmosphere/tension.

Just awful.
