The Hobbit

[schmalts]

Just saw it. VERY slow start, not like the LOR movies. Got good in the end but then it ended (2 part movie) It was worht a see, but not as good as any of the LOR flicks IMO.

Rats!! I really enjoyed that book. I am really anticipating how they depicted "SMOG" the dragon.

good luck to all

I dont think I am ruining much for you but you will have to wait for the second half for that

If you read the book its really good. Follows it to a T. I didnt read it so I thought it was slow, but my buddy who read it thought it was the greatest movie because it followed the book so well. It probably didnt help going to see the premier at 1230 and not getting out till 330, I was pretty tired. Still a good flick. Should be a good part 2 and 3.

So this thread isn't about MtMiller ?

Short book for three movies so I guess it could be a little slow.

I'm a big Tolkien fan though.

Look forward to seeing this.
The Hobbit was a favorite book. The rest were good, though The Hobbit... was the best.

I just lost some respect for 8 people on hunttalk by reading one thread

I waited two and a half hours for Smaug-All I got was an eyball!
It's like dating a girl for months and never even getting to the batter's circle!

You mean it is NOT the entire HOBBIT movie, but split into three different movies?

good luck to all

Chapters 1-6 (eighteen chapters in the book)

It might be easier for me to read the book once, then wait for all three movies.

good luck to all

I haven't seen the movie, but would like to. I do like the productions of the LOR, I do wish this one, as either a trilogy or just one movie, would have came first to follow the chronology of events as the books did.

The story line follows the book, but they put in a LOT of extra that wasn't in the book at all.

The extra wizard (forget his name)
The Mountain scene was very different, liked the book version a whole lot better
The Giant Org or Ogre (whatever he was) wasn't in the book


The characters wanted to go to the Elves


Overall I enjoyed the movie, but it wasn't as good as I had hoped. I wish it had more similarities with the L.O.R movies

I'll wait till TBS shows it back to back to back to back next weekend....
