• I was worried after hearing the reviews – but I had to see it anyway. I loved every minute of it! This is a wonderful film and amazingly connects the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit in ways only hinted at in the books. One of the things that always annoyed me about the Hobbit was that Gandalf would disappear from the book on “important business” Now we know what the business is and how it connects to the events n both Hobbit and LoTR. I thought that Jackson’s King Kong was a bit slow in places, but I didn’t feel that way about the Hobbit. Its a wonderful addition to the franchise – Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. Go see it.

• So with inflation, as well as a 3D and HFR ticket price, it still lags behind Two Towers and Return of the King at this point of release. Which is fair, because it’s nowhere near as good.

  • To be fair, TTT and ROTK opened on Wednesdays so their 4th and 5th days were on Saturday and Sunday.

• The critics are unfairly comparing The Hobbit to the LOTRs trilogy; saying it’s not as epic. Which I say: “Duh! It’s not suppose to be.” It’s a prequel, a setup, on the grand scale of things, it is not suppose to be as epic.

  Having said that: this movie is outstanding in it’s own right, and in my opinion just as good, if not better than the Fellowship of the Ring. I have faith in that it will get even better in the next part to this adventure.

  Forget the spoiled critics; go see this movie, it’s incredible.

• I was expecting bad things after reading the reviews on RottenTomatoes.

  But then I saw the film and was absolutely blown away by it. Amazing. Film of the year, easily. What the hell were the critics watching??? It sure wasn’t the film I saw.

  Everyone in the cinema were applauding at the end.
