Not looking good....
This is what happens when you stretch one book into three movies.
Having LOTR be three movies was perfectly understandable as the one book was divided up into three parts to begin with. But I mean...Somehow Gone with the Wind (a 1,000 page novel) was able to be made into ONE 3 hour film...Yet The Hobbit is about 350 pages and needs 3 films which each span 3 hours?

UPDATE: Now down 68%
