The Hobbit

[AFan1571]

I thought it was great, but I do think three films is a bit excessive for one book even if the third is based on extra stuff. Still looking forward to seeing the next films though.

[AnnieM]

I found it really enjoyable - although some of the changes to the book seemed a little odd (in this case, omissions rather than additions).

[Thundershot]

The sheer length of these films puts me off, at nearly three hours long it sounds a bum numbingly long time to be sitting in a cinima.

[AnnieM]

It didn't feel like nearly three hours (despite the bloke in front of us who laughed at every flippin' line).

[Thundershot]

At my advanced age I'd definitely need a wee break half way through.

[Chopper]

Just make sure you have a bottle handy, Ed. Counting down the days here........

[Red Laser]

Is that a small break Ed or a need to make your bladder gladder? I'm a bit cynical about the Hobbit being a trilogy but just as long as it still has Smaug being the major threat I want to see it. I have seen a Legolas figure packaged for the Hobbit but don't remember if he was meant to be in this.

I adore the LOTR Trilogy, it made for three great Christmas cinema trips with friends and family and I loved all three!. I'm 50/50 on this one. My main problem with movies nowadays is actually how much they give away in the trailers! I mean, come on, a trailer that's a minute and a half to two minutes long! Just tease us, don't outline the entire plot and show us every scene including the finale!
I reckon I'll go and see this at Christmas, but as discussed here, normal 2D will do me fine. 3D makes my bum go funny.

[Chopper]

How many here have read the book? Not sure but I'd bet most LOTR fans already know the plot.

[The Baron]

I have. A wizard, hobbits, dwarves, goblins, trolls, dragon. The end.

FFS They better not flesh it out with Tom Bombadil.
