    “For over two decades, moviegoers have embraced the ‘Lord of the Rings’ film trilogy because of the undeniable devotion Peter, Fran and Philippa have shown…”

    I thought this … until I saw The Hobbit. Their devotion was clearly waning at that point.

    Heard the actors were less than impressed as well.

      I think devotion for LOTR must still be there with them today. The Hobbit feels more like a project your boss forces you to do after getting incredibly rich by exploiting you with your first passion project.

      This new one feels like them getting some extra cash to finally retire.

    This is gonna suffer the same issue that Star Wars has. They have an entire world and myths to explore and they just stick with a core group to focus on.

    Did you all know there is already a The Hunt for Gollum? Found it online. It’s fan fiction from 2009 from the UK but reviews sound good.
