The hobbit is shorter then the twin towers and thats the shortest LOTR book. No way in hell it should be more then 1 movie. | ||

There are a lot of events in the book that's only mentioned in passing. The big battle in the end takes like 1-2 pages ffs! :D Most of the dwarves have very few lines in the book as well. If it was written in the same style as Tolkien later used to write Lotr, I'm sure it would've been at least three times as long. | ||

People need to stop thinking about how many books there are, and think about how many events there are in the books instead. (1 book =/= 1 movie) Some event may be only be a few pages in the book(s), but can be explaining alot more in the movies. Have a more central role etc. | ||

I'm not surprised they managed to get 3 movies' worth of content. I think just as much happens in the Hobbit as does in Lord of the Rings, it's just written out longer in LOTR. | ||

Yes, a lot of things are unseen in The Hobbit, but it pales in comparison to what's happening in the LOTR. Not only did Jackson trim a lot of content from the books to adapt it into 3 films, but there are far more peripheral events going on during the original trilogy. Either you haven't actually read the books or it's been a while. Just the fact that Jackson has to use materials from the appendix of the ROTK to fill up his Hobbit films should tell you enough. | ||

Even if it doesn't stand up to the book, it's still going to be better than 90% of the other movies that come out. Tolkien wrote un-filmable books, so of course things need to be adapted and changed to make it more interesting and I am happy with the way that the LOTR films came out, regardless of if there was a lot missing, I think it still got the proper message across and told the story of the ring very well. I have faith in Pete and weta.  Also I'm glad they're pulling more material, eventhough I enjoyed the hobbit as a book, I dont think it can be adapted word for word into a movie, I'd be awfully boring so adding extra content even if they adapt the characters to whatever roll they need like they did in LOTR. Its not like I'd recommend people watch LOTR instead of read the trilogy but it does the job and I believe that the hobbit will do the same. | ||

-_________- Also, as everyone already said... this "trilogy" is all about the money, as the Bilbo book is tiny compared to Lotr. | ||

The lotr movies cut out a tremendous amount of events, details, songs, etc that took up a massive amount of pages due to Tolkein's writing style. The Hobbit, if anything, is more concise and fits more into its pages. Then, add addition mentioned but unexplained content + appendix notes (Dol Guldur) and you've got a fair amount of stuff to show. I'm not entirely sure about 3 movies, though. | ||

I'm sure everyone is very sad that you're not going to watch the films. No wait, nobody gives a fuck. I can't believe people are actually complaining about three more films about Tolkien's world. | ||
