[quote]The Lord of The Rings Trilogy is a more faithful adaptation and they never had to do the last book in parts[/quote]
Too bad the Hobbit is the worst of all of them though. One book smaller than all of the LOTR books and spread over three movies? Ok.

I kind of thought this too, but I liked how they fleshed out the dwarf attack on Moria backstory from the appendices of LOTR. And Radagast was awesome. Now if you want to talk about how Bilbo goes down and saves Thorin, the creation of Bolg as more than just someone who gets their head chopped off in the Misty Mountians, and Legolas slicing people up in the second movie, I'm all ears for that. Jackson is taking liberties in other ways with the Hobbit more than just making it into three movies.

Whatever. -blam!- them.

Read the appendices to The Return of the King, then try again.

Too bad The Hobbit (Film) is based on more than just the book! It is actually very faithful to Tolkien's works! It is not only based upon The Hobbit, but also the other events going on in middle earth at the time of the hobbit (Unfinished Tales, Appendices, etc.). If a movie were to be made of JUST The Hobbit, it would be terrible. Because The Hobbit would not translate well to film by itself. Most the characters never speak in the book. Bard, the man who slays Smaug, is introduced and forgotten all within a few pages. How could an audience enjoy watching a man with a few lines and no screen time slay the main villain? They couldn't. therefor backstory must be presented. The movies Peter Jackson is making is exactly right for the book.

How do you know that they will expand upon those characters? In [i]An Unexpected Journey[/i], all of the dwarfs were forgettable except for Thorin, and Bard wasn't introduced yet. I know that they will be using the appendices but that will be for the third film, mostly. The [b]large[/b] majority of the story comes from the Hobbit which is quite a bit shorter than all three Lord of the Rings books. I feel like they could have made the whole thing into one movie, albeit a long one, and still had the plot about the Necromancer if they wanted to.

Have you read them all?
