5. Everyone In The Hobbit Aside From Thorin
The first entry in The Hobbit trilogy divided audiences. The Lord Of The Rings generation relished a chance to return to Middle Earth, but pretty much everyone else couldn't get past the meandering plot and lack of any real development. Telling the tale of a band of dwarves travelling to reclaim their mountain home from a dragon without actually getting to the mountain or seeing dragon, its a sequence of heavily CGId action scenes intercut with lengthy exposition. The cause of this is, of course, Peter Jacksons ill advised decision to split a children's book into three two and a half hour films. And therein lies the problem. We've got very basic character development strained to stretching point, meaning none of the characters aside one change in any way. Over the course of An Unexpected Journey, Thorin, goes from harbouring a grumbling dislike of Bilbo Baggins to realising he could be useful in the quest. No one out of the massive cast has anything close to development; you could argue Bilbo changes, but as hed proven his bravery in the troll encounter two hours before, its not all that exciting.
