"The first part of Peter Jackson's new epic trilogy will be getting 13 additional minutes of footage this November! "
that's abit ....pathetic by original films standards......... that definitely wont be day 1 for me
Roll on the extended edition! .
Its on Netflix!!
Finally got round to watching this. Pretty goddamn awful. Such a shame after the LOTR films.
(I'm a fan of the books, though The Hobbit was somewhat less readable than LOTR)
