Ahhhhhhhhhhhh The younger yrs I can say that was a long long time ago...I was so engrossed in the hobbit...I went to the public library and got the original ; the Lord of the Rings Trilogy ( Tomes of JRR Tolkien )...What was unique was he had written a diff language for almost every race in Middle Earth...The cartoon was awesome ; but alas there was only one...The modern movies sucked ; I either fell asleep or cried lol...The special effects were enough to draw me in to see one or two scenes again and again...They should have called it the Lord of the Rings stories...No mystery and added characters just made it Mehhhhh...This last biopsy tale has been drug out to 3 movies intend of just 1 Epic...

Hated the Hobbit movies and retroactively hating the LOTR movies while I'm at it. Just my 2¢.

I did read that the VII preview might not actually be attached to Hobbit, so you might want to hold off getting tickets until there's an official announcement.

If it is, I'll be the one that buys a ticket for the preview and skips the movie. I knew quite a few people that did that for Episode I. Hell, I'd even rather see Meet Joe Black again than Hobbit 3.
