Jackson’s tumid trilogy has its defenders, who argue that much of what the director has added is in keeping with Tolkien’s own timelines, and that more than once the author himself went back to make (minor) revisions to The Hobbit. (Alternative title: There and Back Again and Again and Again.) Two years ago, when the first film in the trilogy was released, I described it as a borderline remake of Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films last year, I called the second movie “ bad fan-fiction.” Now that the third and final installment is upon us, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, I can finally say something more upbeat: It’s over. It’s that time of year again: a time for giving and sharing, for seeing family and loved ones, and for the release of yet another installment of Peter Jackson’s appallingly over-extended Hobbit franchise.
