The Hobbit movie should have been made in a single episode.

I understand the economics of making three movies, but they should at least have the honesty to admit that they whored themselves for money, and not claim it is “art.” It is not art. It is three paychecks instead of one. Period.

Oh wah wah wah....

After this first two, I think that trying to do the whole story as one movie would have been too much. Done properly it can’t be done in two or three hours. No way. But it could have been closer to the Tolkien story.

There is a lot of material in the book for one movie. I loved the hobbit and this one. Not perfect but pretty darn well done. All in all jackson is doing justice to the books.
