Guys the Hobbit was awesome
I love how the whole movie is about going on an adventure! I know it has a serious story behind it, but its not really the focus of the movie.
The thing about the lord of the rings is that it takes a serious tone very earlier on...the hobbit is quite different in that regard.
In a way the Hobbit is more of a homage to Tolkiens world...apparently they have added quite a bit in addition to the actual story in the book, which is why its 3 movies. I love it!
