For some odd reason, I loved these movies [Lotr saga] when they first came out! I scooped up the extended versions and watched them twice. Recently, I started watching them again and got so bored, I cannot even put into words how... lets just say I had to shut off the movie at the half-way part and never started it up again. I honestly don't know what changed between Lotr's release, and now. Having said that, I'm fairly cautious of The Hobbit since Peter Jackson and his script writing wife took the reins again. Will it be everything Lotr was? It might, and that is what I'm afraid of. Maybe since it's "new", I can get the same feeling I did the first few times I watched Lotr - I hope... If not, I'll probably end up leaving the theater before the credits roll. My 2-cents.
