The problem here is they are adapting a book shorter than The Fellowship of the Ring into three films. The Hobbit would have done well as a single film with a length of about 3 hours or 3 hours and 15 minutes. From all the reviews I have read this film pleases the fans but is hardly a movie for the casual moviegoer. This is bad for me because, while I liked the Lord of the Rings films, I could NEVER get into the books because they were just too damn slow and boring.

I had to force myself to finish those books. I tried and failed to force read The Hobbit.

I thought the Hobbit read was amazing. I guess the school of thought is its not for everyone.

Read as a teenager and liked it. Came back and read some 30 years later and absolutely loved it.

I thought the LOTR movies were ok. There were parts that were great but as a whole they were just ok. I had a hard time with Elijah Wood and his overacting in parts.

I hope that the casting for Bilbo and Dwarves is good.

I dont like having to wait between movies but if it means a truer adaptation for the screen hell yeah.
