By contrast, The Hobbit is a single story told across three movies, and watching just one doesn't bring the same satisfaction the audience would feel after any The Lord of the Rings effort. The Lord of the Rings is a sterling example of a film trilogy done right each installment escalates on the next, but simultaneously works well as separate stories, with clear beginnings, middles, and ends. The Hobbit also falls down when considering each film as an individual piece. Although Jackson insists otherwise, it's hard to imagine the decision to produce 3 films wasn't at least somewhat financially motivated.
Tolkien worked narrative gaps into The Lord of the Rings, and the initial film trilogy broadly follows the author's cues, but shoehorning arcs to fit the point each installment of The Hobbit trilogy ended felt forced by comparison. With so much time to fill, it was clear where sequences were being eked out or padding was being added, drastically sapping the pace and excitement of each movie. So, it's safe to say the show's reported $465 million budget has been put to good use.As one might expect, this made each installment of The Hobbit feel bloated and meandering compared to The Lord of the Rings.

"Our talented producers, cast, creative, and production teams have worked tirelessly in New Zealand to bring this untold and awe-inspiring vision to life."Īlongside the premiere date announcement, which came just as production for season one wrapped, Amazon Studios dropped a striking new image from the series. "I can't express enough just how excited we all are to take our global audience on a new and epic journey through Middle-earth," Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios, said in a statement. The upcoming fantasy adventure series, which has yet to be formally named, will arrive on Amazon Prime Video on September 2, 2022. On Monday, August 2, Amazon Studios announced the premiere date for their highly anticipated Lord of the Rings prequel series. Will this be the one show to rule them all? We won't know until next year.
