i'm hoping that i rewatch the 3 hobbit movies (many) years from now and love them. they just have felt like a letdown after the massive and entertaining LOTR movies, and i think i resented them for stretching out one book into three movies. i've basically been forcing myself to watch the hobbit movies because i know they look best on the big screen (and in 3d) and peter jackson is talented and made a bunch of movies i like, i just wish i had some enthusiasm for these ones. the only enthusiasm i have is for what he can do next now that he's finally finished with tolkien.
