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?

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.

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.

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 ....

I think The Hobbit would be better with two movies or even just one very long one.

I'm not sure how great that'll work considering the first Hobbit film wasn't as huge of an box office success as the past LOTR films.

But basically I think it's fairly horrible, The Hobbit should have been one movie, the studio is only interested in squeezing as much money out of their franchise as possible. It really is as simple as that.
