The first two movies where too damn long. The director is in serious need of an editor and someone to say STOP!

He has destroyed the Hobbit which is supposed to be a short children’s story. It would have been better if he had had ONE 2-3 hour movie that followed the book precisely.

Hell, I fell asleep at the second movie. Never did se the whole thing. Too much CGI too much superfluous crap!

Bard kills Smaug at the end. Bilbo walks home.

There, I said it. Ruined it for everyone.

Loved the LOTR movies.

Found the first Hobbit movie tedious and never saw the second one.

Greed

and

Arrogance.

What SHOULD have been 1 movie, has become 3.

The arrogance of these silly fag writers to think they could create better than J.R.R. Tolkien himself!

Self-Delusion is a powerful stimulant!

Should have been a single feature length from Aardman Animations, the guys who did the claymationy Wallace and Grommet movies. Think about it, instant classic people would be talking about 60 years from now. This glitzy special effect stuff isn’t going to be remembered, it looks like a lot of movies from this era. A movie with a special style all it’s own is a much better choice for something like the Hobbit.

I thought the movies were fine. So what if they are ‘too long’? After going to all the work of setting up this monster of a movie, might as well create lots of film. Plus, seeing Evangeline Lily prance around in an elf costume is very enjoyable. Imagine if she captured you and forced you to be her mate? haha!

Snore. I can’t stay awake during the first one. I don’t think I will make it to the third.

Letteri went on to speak about how the ending of this movie would lead into and help fans better understand the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

How could it, when Peter Jackass totally butchered the story ?

And they weren't just lttle changes. Some characters became the exact opposite of the way Tolkien had written them.

After being disgusted by the travesty of LOR, I have refused to see Hobbit. My wife has, but then she's more tolerant than I am.
