I do not think The Hobbit needed to be made into 3 movies. I think Jackson is getting greedy. I loved all of the LOTR movies. Hobbit needed to be condensed. I enjoyed the last 45 minutes or so. The rest of the time I was waiting for it to get moving. The plot was weak. I did not feel invested in the characters or particularly care what happened. Just one battle after another. Right when it was getting good, it ended. The first hour and a half was BORING.
