I'm still skeptical. I mean, it could have been a movie or two movies, sure. But it doesn't really have a great formula for a typical movie, anyway. It's more like a series of rather isolated events that are more quirky and light-hearted (being a kids' book and all) and even the dragon bits aren't that climactic (some other guy not related to the main cast until this point shots the dragon, etc).

And that's not even considering how to make it fit into LOTR-universe, because you basically have to do that. You can't pretend orcs don't exist in this universe, the film really had to be directly a prequel to the existing LOTR movies, unlike the novel. So instead, you're left with trying to fit in darker, larger-world material to make it more coherent and compatible with LOTR, while still balancing the goofy adventures of Bilbo and Co.

I don't think it was an easy job. Granted, Peter Jackson did it exceptionally badly, imo, but it still seemed like a losing battle to me.

I went with one movie because then they could have cut it into a movie-shaped narrative. It doesn't have to be as linked into LOTR as they made it, not at all. Gandalf is enough there.

But yes, Jackson and co did do it exceptionally poorly.
