I prefer three movies from one novel than one movie from three novels.The proof is in the watching, so I'll wait until number 3 to give a verdict.
I'd still love at least a trilogy of The Silmarillion, which is one book, but could easily go 6 movies. It all depends on how much of the source material the director wants to use.
I do believe one of the main reasons the Hobbit will be split into three parts is because Peter Jackson wishes to put a lot of covered material in the Sil into the movies, along with a lot of other pieces of Tolkien.
The movie was good but they are just trying to milk it for all the $ they can. I was disapointed because I felt like it didin't follow the book enuff
It seems it did more than the LOTR.
I didnt like the LOTR.
Man i have been gone a whole week an nobody has said anything!
Maybe everybody except you considers the topic closed.
Hm didnt think about that.
I was pretty disappointed in the movie. I loved the book, but the movie was a let down. I think the movie was such a let down because the lotr movies were so great, and because of this I had high expectations. Unfortunately the Hobbit did not live up to my expectations.
To me it was the opposite i saw the hobbit first and the lotr i thought the hobbit was better
I watched the movie prior to reading the book. Instead of being disappointed with the changes in the movie (took me some time to realize that), the movie actually intensified the epic reading experience I had with The Hobbit. Well, it helped me understand it better.While I was reading though, I couldn't believe at first that that 1/3 of the book was just part 1 of the movie. That was funny.
Has anyone noticed that in the second hobbit movie, The Hobbit:The Desolation of Smaug, Peter Jackson has added another character...the women....Tauriel. It feels kind of messed up to me, because the story is as good as it is from the beginning and it is kind of nice that Galadriel is the only women in the whole story(basically).
I say eschew the movie altogether.

I actually really loved The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and I just finished reading The Hobbit before the second movie comes. Even though I loved the novel, I'm still pretty excited to watch the movies because I just really enjoy the movie adaptations of these novels, I think they might alter the storyline a bit (like most adaptations)but it also brings a lot to the story with the amazing visuals and the soundtrack. I personally can't wait to see the whole Forest, Elvenking and Barells part on the big screen :3
you should read the book first. the movie was pretty good but it did leave out a couple of things.

14 rows down 5 over from the left.
I read the book recently as I'd seen the first few minutes of the film and been pleasantly surprised. The books is just incredible, I can't wait for the second part of the film. I still haven't finished watching the first part! And Bilbo reminds me a little of myself - shy and fond of home comforts, but a bit of an adventurer too! :D
As a rule you should always read the book first. Though the movie may be a let down after reading the book you get a large amount of background and feelings and thoughts from the book they cant effectivley put in a movie.
go to the second message ever on de first page
If you read the book before, you'll ruin the movie. If you watch the movie before, you'll ruin the book. If you've never read or seen either, read the book. But if you've already read the book a long time ago, don't refresh, just see the movie. Then, maybe after the experience has gelled for a while, go and read the book again.

Pretty good advice
