The Hobbit

The Hobbit used far more CGI than The Lord of the Rings, which made Sir Ian McKellen much prefer his time in the latter series. "I was miserable," he said. "If Gandalf was on top of a mountain, I'd be there on the mountain. The technology was being invented while we were making the film. [In 'The Lord of the Rings'] I wasn't involved in any of that, I was away acting on a mountain. I tend not to remember the bad times, but I don't think there were any. I think I enjoyed every single moment of making those films."
