The Hobbit will be divided in 3 movies!

What do you think? Are you happy or pissed off about this?

Personally, I'm a little worried... 'The Lord of the Rings' were 3 huge books and 3 movies was a good idea but 'The Hobbit' was one single childbook so I'm not so sure if it will benefit from being streched over 3 movies.

So, any thoughts?

I'm sure Peter Jackson will do The Hobbit justice. (After all, he did an excellent job on the Lord of the Rings!)

Even though The Hobbit is a much smaller book, compared to the how big the Lord of the Rings are, I think making it into just 1 movie would be a mistake. I actually would prefer it to be at least 2 movies, if not 3, so key parts of the story are included. Just my opinion though.

Yeah, I was allright with 2 movies but I'm not so sure about 3 movies. Of course, I will watch all of them anyway.

Meh. I'll just have to make extra room on my shelves.

Sounds like a good plan to me, even if it feels stretched or spread a little too thin (which I doubt) that is much better than leaving lots of things out and not doing the story justice. Then it would be just another bland, lacking, pointless adaptation. I'm glad to see people wanting to put money and effort into an adaptation to make it the right way.

I heard on the internet that it could be the first completely literal adaptation ever made. What I mean by that is that when they adapt a book, they always remove some stuff. This time however, they will put literally EVERYTHING that was in the book something which has rarely been done especially if such a book. My feelings are still mixed. On one hand, it is an interesting idea but, on the other hand, movies are really different than books and there is a good reason that they remove some (for example, the pacing doesn't work the same way). We'll see ....
