Stretching The Hobbit to 3 films was undoubtedly a mistake but another massive mistake (imo) is PJ CGI'ing over everything and not using the brilliant costumes to their fullest (as per LotR).

TROS also basically de-canonized the storyline introduced in the 2017 Star Wars Battlefront 2 game. And it's only because of one small detail. In the first few levels of the game, you see pieces of the giant dish floating around in space, from the Death Star 2 explosion... but then TROS showed us that the HUGE chunk of the dish part of the Death Star somehow didn't explode and landed on some random planet other than Endor.

DC/WB were in a rush to catch up with Marvel but that wasn't their only mistake. Marvel had the 12A/PG-13 rated market locked down. DC tried to cash in on the same market by presenting something that looked different - more grown-up - but was fundamentally the same. It's only recently that they've started putting out quality content with 15/R-rated entries, allowing their creative teams some freedom, rather than trying to copy a formula.

LOTR justified three movies, largely down to it being a novel which was in three distinct sections. The Hobbit, on the other hand, was a short story (by Tolkein’s standards) and I’d argue even two movies was stretching things a bit. The fact it takes longer to watch the movies than it does to read the book is pretty telling, as is the inclusion of characters who had nothing to do with the original story. That said, I did enjoy them, so maybe I should just shut up…

The Hobbit mistake was completely changing the nature of Hobbits with Bilbo and the ring. The book was clear that it was an accident that Bilbo found the ring and then forgot about it until he put his hand in his pocket when talking with Gollum. This is important to the entire undertone of the Lord of the Rings books: Hobbits were less tempted to the power of the ring so would have the ability to destroy the ring. The movie changes that and makes it seem like Bilbo stole the ring and used the "What's in my pocket" question on purpose. Complete silliness.

It was just a creatively bankrupt attempt at Cinematic High Art using a subversion in the same way someone would use a sledgehammer to create a painting. The Last Jedi is like if someone wanted to make a good cake and ended up making a mud pie, and they thought that making a mud pie was good because it subverted people's expectations. If someone else comes along and tries to fix that mud pie by putting some whip cream on it and a cherry, you don't blame them for ruining the cake. The cake was ruined to begin with.

That right there should have told them that this was the place to end the story. There's only so much you can tell in this particular universe. The only other place to go from 3 is Prometheus, which again, they screwed up by caving to impatient fans that trashed Prometheus for not having the Xenomorph. Ridley was going to build to it. Instead, the story got rushed due to fans and they still didn't like what they got. Let the series rest. Same with Predator if this film, Prey, fails. Let the movies stand on their own.

Lots cut and moved around with Palps being removed fully from the end and Kylo becoming the main villain. And now I’m re working the Alien films ( first 3 with parts of Prometheus ) into a mini series that starts with 3 but jumps in time between them all ( ie you know Newts dead before you meet Newt, but don’t know how she died ).

Biggest mistake in the Saw franchise is similar to Predator, the biggest mistake was making ANY sequels. Saw is a good film, thats it. Forget the crappy sequels. Predator is a 2 film franchise, the first sequel is good, ignore the rest.

I never understand when people say the Last Jedi was the most daring movie since Empire. Guys, love them or hate them the prequels were daring. They were by no means trying to be crowd pleasers

How about splitting the final part of a trilogy into two films - just for greed - as in the Divergent series? And never finishing the second one.

I know the topic is _movies,_ but some _TV series_ are on such epic scale that I think an honorable mention should go to the last season of Game of Thrones.

As someone who grew up reading Dragonlance books....I actually loved how flushed out The Hobbit was....it was like actually reading a fantasy novel.

I don't see anything wrong with the Brother/Sister relationship in the Halloween series. I think it helps rationalise Michael's motivations.

I mostly agree with what you shared, with one exception. Alien 3. I know, not many agree but it’s my favorite. It’s a study in mortality, in despair in trying to overcome errors you made ie the prisioneirs

I love the Hobbit movies, I really do. There's a lot of sentimental value in seeing them with my dad and re-watching them together. I do not mind the 3, but I have to agree it really needed to be 2 really awesome movies. Still a fan tho!

This was a good list. I do not agree with the Bond franchise and Halloween. I did not mind that they connected the Bond movies, it seemed like a natural evolution with today's cinematic universes. I did not like how Daniel Craig's story ended. With Halloween, I saw it when I was 5 yrs old. Laurie throughout the franchise was Michael Myers' sister. So when it retconned that she was not his sister, I didn't like it.

Many people lost respect for Shane Black after Iron Man 3's Mandarin fake-out. I didn't mind that. I DID mind him taking a beloved movie - that he himself had starred in - and turning it into a bad stand-up routine with added aliens. Shane Black's Hawkins was the intentionally un-funny comic relief in Predator, half-swallowing his lewd jokes when he realises he's not getting a laugh. And then he gets killed off. Black seemed to think he was he best part of Predator and promptly gave everyone bad jokes to crack - only this time we're apparently supposed to laugh.

Idk about that last one Michael's purpose is to kill his family to satisfy Thorne so laury being his sister makes total sense this is also why everyone loved Jamie myself included cuz she was a cute lil innocent version of Michael

There is one mistake you missed with Terminator, in the first one, when Kyle is talking to Dr. Silberman he said that after Kyle was sent back to the past, the resistance blew the whole place, he said no one else comes through, so how the hell did they get there in the second one?

'the last jedi' was subversive in the sense that it sucked. Ow my expectations!

Of the series that I've seen in this list, the one I have to disagree with is the Daniel Craig Bonds. I think the whole Spectre storyline played out pretty well. It starts out with apparently stand alone stories. Then you gradually realise there is a master puppeteer behind it all. It builds up nicely and I enjoyed watching. Even 'No Time to Die', which veered away from this story line somewhat, mirrored "Casino Royale', by subverting expectations and (hopefully) rebooting the Bond franchise.

Forgive yourself for making mistakes ... and hope that WhatcMojo doesn't make a top 10 list about them. Seriously though, that was beautiful.
