It captures a lot of my sentiments as well. My gut tells me that the three films will allow the story to unfold at a better pace and to really get to know and bond with the characters. It is a worthwhile investment. One of the shortcomings of the Return of the King was that it felt rushed even though it was very long, because it managed to simultaneously cram so much of the story while still leaving out so much. Fellowship of the Ring didn't feel rushed, but it still left out much of the story. The three films for the Hobbit, will allow Jackson et al. to let the story breath and unfold and tell the story right. And I'm also satisfied with a Summer 2014 release for Film 3 (I would have liked it sooner, but I understand the need to balance all of the film industry elements). I also think the film will end with the capture of the dwarves in Mirkwood. We need to see Legolas and Tauriel in Film 1 ;0). I am looking forward to these movies even more. (Wow! If we thought that the 48 fps debate was intense, we hadn't see anything yet!)

Of course, Peter is the creator...but IMO, in an instance such as this, it's not unreasonable for the audience to not co-create, but react to PJ's decision...
