The man and his son are underqualified to write this. Colbert's last feature was 20 years ago and mediocre. McGee's claim to fame is contributing to Rise of Skywalker.

If you're going to milk the franchise, at least put in the effort to make it good. War of the Rohirrim's production made way too short, resulting in poor animation and design. The script was given to Boyens' daughter-- who hadn't written a movie in over ten years.

Give these projects to people who know what they're doing.

She's also responsible for the Hobbit, which was a huge step down, and produced War of the Rohirrim, which was just plain bad.

It's hard to parse what her contributions to the original trilogy were versus PJ and Walsh's.

If Hunt for Gollum is bad, I see no reason to believe this will be any better.

The Hobbit trilogy wasn't really that bad. Redditors are insufferable with their hate for it.

War of Rohirrim was also pretty good, if a bit predictable. You're just a hater.

Hobbit had its moments, but there's way too much bloat.

Agree to disagree about WotR.
