Making “The Hobbit” movie trilogy has cost more than half a billion dollars so far, double the amount spent on “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy.

And yet it's only half as good...

yeah looks like NZ is not as cheap a place to make movies after all. might be time to move to another country with less expensive production costs.

LOTR was a great series of movies. I started to watch The Hobbit on TV a few weeks ago and fell asleep. Nothing in comparison to LOTR...
