...between the films, so no, I don't see it as a good thing. I wanted to see another director adapt the Hobbit book, not the same director adapt the book to fit his previous films. But this is all very simple. If you absolutely adored PJ's LOTR, than you are likely to be happy about him directing again. If you thought they were general subpar films, then you might not be happy about him directing again. Simple, really. However, I am optimistic that three films will allow Jackson to do a better job of creating a believable and immersive story.
