I love Tolkien and I love seeing that world come to life. I want more and more and more!

But, I would have appreciated a faithful adaptation of the Hobbit. Just the Hobbit. Without all that other stuff.

CONFLICTING.

Given that the Tolkien estate will probably never give up the rights to Silmarillion or any of the other works of Tolkien, it's super unlikely that we would ever get another movie devoted to stories like the White Council and the Necromancer and all the backstory with the Dwarves or the fall of Numenor.

So I think that's why Jackson put SO much into the Hobbit to make it less about The Hobbit and more a general collection of pre-LotR stories and split it into 3 movies. Because otherwise, we would never get to see any of this extra stuff.

I think The Hobbit is probably more likely to be remade in the future than Lord of the Rings ever will be. And that might be nice I think.
