By turning 1 action packed movie into a trilogy. <br /><br /> How exactly are they going to make the hobbit a trilogy. It's smaller than any of the three LOTR books. It's a simple straightforward story. Leave home-kerfuffle with trolls-kerfuffle with the goblins-rest at Elrond's-kerfuffle with spiders-kerfuffle with the elves-rest at the lakemen-kerfuffle with dragon-big kerfuffle with the 5 armies-go home.

If anything, I quite liked how they handled the mystic element. The wisps and stone circles and witch weren't clear-cut good or evil, just... other. Results entirely dependent on user. Like alcohol, y'know? ^_^<br />But the story disappointed me a wee bit. With two strong female leads, I was really rooting for a water-tight (or plothole-tight) plot, but it wasn't.

Then lent out another copy a year ago and it's yet to come back (yeah, I learn slow). No way I'm lending out this copy till I'm done...and maybe not even then. Weird thing is that I like it more than I did when I tried it out the first time those 5 years ago.

There are a few book adaptations coming out almost at the same time. Life of Pi, Anna Karenina, World War Z and Les Miserables. All books in my list. All books I haven't read yet. But they all look to be awesome..except Anna Karenina which I haven't seen the trailer for but it's got Keira Knightley who I could stare at all day.
