    Actually, the Lord of the Rings are six books published in three volumes.

    Edit: You meant the Hobbit, of course, and are spot on. Silly me!

    Look for the “Maple Films Edit” if you need to watch the Hobbit movies. It’s a fan edit condensed into one movie with stuff like Legolas cut out completely. It doesn’t make the movies good but it does make them… shorter.

    imo the book has enough content to fill three movies or even more. It was the execution that was just bad.

      Wait are you talking about The Hobbit?

      When I heard that the first movie was part 1 I assumed there would be a part 2 but when I found out they made an 8 hour 40 minute trilogy out of that skinny little children’s book I knew they were going to fuck it up and they sure didn’t disappoint.
