I love Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but I was skeptical when I heard they were making two movies out of The Hobbit. After they announced it would be another trilogy, I lost interest. I finally got around to watching them recently. I, too, rather liked the first film, even though it didn't touch the previous movies. I still liked the second and third parts but not that much. My suspicions were confirmed that they should have widdled those two down to one and I think it would have been better.
