The following is a list of things we know about the film:

1) It will be too long.
2) It will deviate from the book too much.
3) Important characters will be mischaracterized in egregious fashion.
4) There will be stupid amounts of videogame-like action.

You do know that some of the material for the Hobbit movie was taken from Tolkien's Unfinished Tales ?

Your list is so true.

I will boycott the theater release of this movie. Maybe I’ll check it out later from my local library. - For “free” - already paid by my taxes.
