Good to hear; the first part, while a good movie, lacked the genius of the LOTR trilogy for me.

I disagree. I foudn LOTR to be boring as bat shit with is dragged out story of usless dialogue.

Hobbit at least kept me awake. SO if the second is better than the first it will be great.

Fellowship of the Ring and Return of the King rank among the finest pieces of filmmaking I've seen.

Different strokes for different folks.

That's so true. I find the Fellowship and the Two Towers the best LOTR movies. The Fellowship being far better than the Two Towers, but the latter is still very entertaining. ROTK just seemed like a bloated mess, with far too much going on, with more of a focus on spectacle than substance.

Part of it is just my take on the story though, it's far more open and entertaining at the beginning of the book for me as well.
