Speaking for myself, I haven't seen the
TH films, don't plan on doing so, and my feelings about them based on what I have seen and read are very similar to my views of the
LOTR movies.
I don't think the
Hobbit films necessary, any more than their predecessors, and I can't attribute to PJ or the Hollywood moguls any noble goal of bringing Tolkien to the huddled masses: the motivation is dollar signs. I dislike the merchandising.
And yes: I'm already this curmudgeonly at middle age, so pity my poor wife.
