I love the LotR trilogy, just so well done. I knew De Toro started the Hobbit and I was hyped! Then he departed and it was a bit concerning, but Jackson was coming to the rescue so it couldn't be that bad, right?
It did not need to be a trilogy. Adding more characters who are women was a good idea, but doing it for a romance subplot was stupid. Legolas didn't need to be included at all, there were enough characters already and another dude didn't help out.
Then there was the inconsistent tone, the stupid barrel ride crap and goblin caves super mario scene and the whole thing missed the point of the book which was about a bunch of bumbling dwarves, most of which were past their prime, hiring a hobbit to be a spy to raid a dragon horde. Instead we got superhero dwarves doing outrageous stunts and a ton of side characters padding out a trilogy.
Pickles, aka the fire cat, is born homelss and lives in a barrel before being adopted by a nice lady and then eventually joining the fire department and improving himself to become a better cat.
Here is Pickles being an asshole by chasing a kitten up a tree, because that is something cats do.
If I remember right Pickles wasn't able to get down either and had to be rescued by the firemen. It leads to his journey to learn how to be nicer to other cats and improve himself.
That is consistent with US grading scales where 70% is a C and 80% is a B.
It is stupid, but it tracks.
