A total of 6 or 7 hours to bring Bilbo's entire journey to life?
Maybe he should have gone for 4 movies.

Anything less than 12 HBO 45 minute episodes ala Game of Thrones is not going to do justice to Bilbo, speaking of which, would have been awesome if the movies were first made as episodic base HBO like productions and then put together as a "movie cut" that is the present movie. Would allow so much pointless (funny word to put here) dialogue in the movie and cut back on the ADHD hack and slash.
