Part of what made The Lord of the Rings great was Peter Jackson's directing, imo. The LOTR story didn't suck me in until the movies, and while I admit the book trilogy was good, I too was bored by The Hobbit. Jackson could have redeemed it, but I'm not sure I'll be seeing it now. I'll be quite interested to see what poor guy has to fill Jackson's shoes. He's gonna get so much flack if the movie does badly.
