why is this a trilogy?

Rating: 1/10 (19 July 2013)

far too long, drawn out and boring. I actually got up and walked away for a bit to get some fresh air then came back and watched the rest. the story is from a small book yet they have drawn it out into 3 movies at 3 hours each, and the story really suffers as a result. like what were they thinking except money money money. I understand why the Lord of the Rings trilogy was well a trilogy, because it is based off 3 books! I am a childhood fan of the books, but I will not waste my time on the next two movies as they have ruined the whole series in my eyes. I am just going to have to pretend this movie didn't exist for my own sanity. Please if You are a fan of the books or the lord of the rings trilogy DO NOT waste your time on this poor movie.
