Sensing weakness, studios have done two bits of counter-programming for the final chapter of Peter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy. That won’t likely matter as Jackson is bound to top the list once again.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: I’m excited to finally get to the end of The Hobbit trilogy. Little else outside of Mr. Turnerlooks interesting.
Peter J. Patrick: This week’s releases run the gamut from highly anticipated awards magnet Mr. Turner to an ill-conceived updated version of the depression era musical, Annie.
Tripp Burton: How many weeks can I say it? The wide releases all look bland, but there is gold to be found in limited release.
Thomas LaTourrette: It will be nice to see the final movie of the Hobbit trilogy, but the series has felt padded out. Hopefully, it will be a stronger film than the first two. Mr. Turner sounds worthwhile both for the cinematography and for the performance of Timothy Spall.
