From what I've ready, I think they learned their lesson and put it in a better wrapper than Promised Land. But yeah, I rolled my eyes after reading the plot line and thought OMG not another one of these.
So basically forced into watching The Hobbit, which I actually liked better than any of the LOTR movies, I dunno I guess because seemingly less running and far less of the truly obnoxious precious guy, but you know, when the climatic solution to save the day is something you could have done in the beginning of the movie negating all the stupid shit you had to go through to reach the climatic solution, then that's just some really stupid shit. Right? Why not just call the eagles at the beginning? For that matter, why not just call the eagles at the beginning of all of the LOTR movies, cuz it's not like you haven't done it before. Worked pretty freakin good first time, so...maybe just do that.
Hi Vegas. Glad you liked the Hobbit. About the puzzle as to why the eagles don't do everything for them. Without going to all the detail and subtext which can be found on Tolkien forums, Tolkien's Middle Earth stories are very heavily Christian themed and paralleled. Miracles happen or are divinely sanctioned. Jackson provided a lot of clues and subtext of the book details in the background and the music has clues too like in the elvish sung lyrics choral sections. If anyone wants to explore the LOTR world more, the "Silmarillion" pretty much explains a lot of the history behind the scenes.
