I am a Lord of the Rings fan, and of course also know the Hobbit. But to film the book in 3 parts and then to make the films as well as the 2nd part-long, just is not funny anymore. 3D or not. 1 hour less would have done if you have already make 3 movies. It's just boring. In particular, the neverending scene with the dragon Smaug, and so in the end he flies off to serve for the 3rd part of the pull-tabs. And yes, I'm going to look. But I'm still disappointed. The book and the ways of Peter Jackson deserved more.
