IT'S NOT JUST THE STYLE. PETER, FRAN, AND PHILIPPA UNDERSTAND THE BOOKS. THEY LOVE THEM. THAT'S WHAT REALLY MATTERS.

That is a very interesting comment. You have read the books, right Dayv?

If you ask me, Peter Jackson did an insanely awesome job with Fellowship of the Ring. The Two Towers and The Return of the King was lacking... a lot in a lot of areas (not going to get into this, this has been covered left and right on the internet).

The Hobbit shouldn't be made into a movie. It's too boring.

My opinion.

I think The Hobbit could be a great film. Yes, the book is very slow moving, but most people consider LOTR very slow moving and boring and yet look how successful those movies turned out. Even many people I know who proclaimed Fellowship of the Ring as their all time favorite movie the second they walked out of the cinema, ran out and bought the books only to read a short ways into FotR before admitting that it was far too boring for them to finish.

I personally think The Hobbit would be much more Fellowship of the Ring like in many ways if it were made into a film. The second two films are much more action packed, and those are the parts I find hard to sit through. I can only watch so many battles for so long. The Hobbit has action, but it has a lot of other stuff as well, I think it would transfer to screen wonderfully. But not in two movies. A single three hour or less film is plenty to tell the tale that is to be told, dragging it out for marketing's sake would be unfortunate.
