It will require two-and-a-half years to watch this two-and-a-half-hour movie, so one will have to sit through the
First Third of the Hobbit, to see how much narrative bloat, gratuitous CGI, fan-fiction cameo appearances (not to mention crass commercial product placement) to expunge from the mind so as to glean what part of
the Hobbit one has actually seen. Then one will have to repeat this filtration process over the next year-and-a-half with
The Second Third of the Hobbit and
The Third Third of the Hobbit.
Or, one could wait until 2015 for the extra-special director's-cut DVD featuring a properly edited, two-and-a-half-hour version of
The Hobbit.
