I’m a huge Tolkien fan. I saw the last Hobbit movie. I have almost no recollection of it at all. Peter Jackson stretched a small book out into about 9 hours of nothing.

—Peter Jackson stretched a small book out
—into about 9 hours of nothing.

And 4 pages of a children’s book into
1 ponderous hour of battle scene

Gave up on the Hobbit movies after the second one. Huge disappointments.

I am too. I watched the first two Hobbit films, therefore I didn’t even bother with the last one.

The Hobbit was unnecessarily horrible. It was more like a video game than the novel. The only bright spot was the actor who played Bilbo nailed the character.

“Peter Jackson stretched a small book out into about 9 hours of nothing.”

What??? You mean you didn’t like 9 hours of continuous “epic” CGIed battles of Orcs being turned into Orcburger?

The first time I watched “The Hobbit” I fell asleep 1/2 hour in to it. The second time, I fell asleep 1 hour in to it. I woke up and it was still going. I did not attempt a third viewing.
