The problem with the movie, so far, is it's too long. They added too much to the story to extend it. However, there are some additions to the story that really do a good job of setting the stage for the LoTR movies. And well, I guess personally I like that all the Dwarves are Scottish in this movie. What I never really liked about The Hobbit and then the Lord of the Rings is the disconnect between the two movies. In The Hobbit the Dwarves, Elves, and Man come together to defeat the foe and it seems the three are at peace with each other and willing to work together. In Lord of the Rings, not so much. They are, essentially, reluctant allies. The other problem is in Lord of the Rings it shows the older Bilbo obtaining the Ring and in The Hobbit, obviously the younger one is. That said, I'm interested in seeing the characters run around the screen a lot more in "The Hobbit 2: Really? Is this a Marathon or a Movie?" |
What? ... No.. The Hobbit was written way before The Lord of the Rings and it was meant to be a single book. On topic, I think most of the people disliked the movie because they were expecting a LOTR film, and the books are completely different. As a matter of fact I sincerely think The Hobbit is a better read than LOTR.. but that´s just my way of thinking.
