I loved the LOTR movies (cut and uncut) but couldn't watch more than a half hour of the hobbit movies. Should I give them a second chance?

Personally I think the first is pretty ok, it's the 2nd and 3rd that kind of just go way off track.

And now to add something on topic, I too like watching either versions once in a while. I've got both because I enjoy both. Of the Peter Jackson adaptations, I've got DVDs of all the film theatre versions, and I've got DVDs of all the extended editions with the Making Of extra DVDs and the audio commentaries. Listening to the commentary tracks lets us discover even new details.

I have the VCD of The Two Towers.. but I have it all on iTunes and, I may be wrong, but I feel they keep adding bits.

..the only change I think I would add to the originals is having the Mouth of Sauron scene replace the whole Sam & Rose bit.. it'd be fine to cut from Aragorn's coronation to the scene at Greyhaven and then to the end bit with Sam, Rose and the kids..
