Anyone else who felt that The Hobbit trilogy (temporarily?) ruined Middle-Earth (films) for them?

But anyway, I see where you are coming from. I think it would be very hard for a person to enjoy/appreciate the music when the person does not like the actual movies.


Nope – it just says 'Nothing Found'. Angelic Dinna worry about it.

Trouble is, the same applies to the music in the Hobbit when it comes to the scenes that I DO really like.

Music appreciation is such a personal thing, anyway – though it does surprise me that I feel such massively contrasting emotions when it comes to the music for the two trilogies, given that the composer was the same in each case.

BTW I can't figure out how to link. If you want to copy and paste the link into your address bar, I think that'd be the easiest way.


It was a foggy day in London, and the fog was heavy and dark. Animate London, with smarting eyes and irritated lungs, was blinking, wheezing, and choking; inanimate London was a sooty spectre, divided in purpose between being visible and invisible, and so being wholly neither. - Our Mutual Friend, Charles Dickens.

It is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen. - The Silmarillion, J. R. R. Tolkien

Nah... [In reply to] Can't Post

The LOTR's films are brilliant and nothing will change that! The Hobbit films were atrocious - Star Wars Prequel level bad...so I just pretend they don't exist.

The one area that it does kill for me is the little things you can't erase e.g. when Gandalf talks about Thorin my brain goes straight to Thorin from the films rather than the Thorin that used to be in my head...
