Maybe Mr. Jackson should have stuck to: “Kill Smaug - Part One” and “Kill Smaug - Part Two”
i can easily see how you COULD fill 3 movies with everythign that takes place in The Hobbit (the first book I ever read ON PURPOSE - and which led me to a lifelong love of reading, gratefully) - the most he should have tried for is 2- especially if all 3 are not brought out to the theatres in rapid succession.
