Which book didn't deserve to be split into 2 or 3 films?
Harry Potter and Twilight's last books were over 700 pages each, so I'm okay with those being split into two films, but The Hunger Games being a 350 page book didn't need to do it, and much less The Hobbit being turned into 3 long films... what do y'all think?
The Hobbit actually works because that universe is really intricate and fleshing out all of the characters is necessary. Mockingjay is beyond pointless. I liked the movie, but most of those "propaganda building" scenes could've been axed. Could've been one movie for sure.
Twilight. It was a mammoth of a book and literally NOTHING happened in it at all, so to try and stretch 1000 pages of nothing across 2 movies is just like ugh.
All of them. The only reason they got split is because the studio's wanted to milk as much money out of the series as they could.
Sounds like a very generic and uneducated answer. If you had even read the books The Hobbit clearly couldn't be faithfully remade in one movie even if it were 4 hours long. The book may be rather small but the sheer amount of events that took place warrant the 3 movies. Harry potter worked fine with 2 movies. Not sure about mockingjay cause the book seems like it could of worked as one movie but BD defiantly didn't need two movies.
Hobbit could have be done in two, so much could have been cut out of the first two. Not here for dwarfs singing around a table for no reason.
Harry Potter did and didn't. The first part of DH isn't fantastic, it lulls in the camping parts but Part 2 is so brilliant because they got that stuff out of the way which set that film up much better for the "this is the end, one of them is gonna die" vibe... so I think it was worth it in the end of HP.
