The thing is, this movie looks fucking EXPENSIVE. So I don't know how much money they're actually making, as compared to say, Adam Sandler making shitty comedies with padded budgets.

It doesn't strike me as a cynical cash grab, it strikes me as Peter Jackson liking action scenes and nobody questioning the guy who made the Lord of the Rings which made everyone a shitzillion dollars.
