Not worth taking seriously.

typical lack of understanding of the book

Rankin/Bass proved that a one-film adaptation could be done...

Sub plot!

Fardragon

Welll I'm not suggesting that the Arkenstone should be left out...
|
Otaku-sempai

Sep 3 2012, 4:26pm

He proved that it's possible to cram everything together into one film

Well, Rankin/Bass isn't a 'he', it's a 'they'...

Sorry . . . can't agree.

Somewhere between 1 film/2 hours and 3 films/x hours is what I was hoping for.

So how long is reasonable for The Hobbit?

How Long

Agreed. And I wouldn't even call the absence of the Wood Elves feast a major
