Maybe slightly off topic but I very recently watched the Cardinal cut of the Hobbit films.

It cuts the 3 films down to about four hours and imo is the best way to try and enjoy these films.
Here's a link with downloads and information about the edit.

I think that if Peter made The Hobbit first and then the LoTR trilogy that people may have liked this movie more. Yes I read the book but we just gave Peter such a high expectation to meet that we were disappointed with what we saw in the movie. Yes he didn't include some big parts but it's still a great film and I give props to Jackson for attempting not only the trilogy but also The Hobbit.
