Very disappointed

Rating: 1/10 (6 January 2013)

Saw The Hobbit last night and was very disappointed. Having read The Hobbit & LOTR in the 70's and re-read a couple of times since I really enjoyed LOTR because they were as true as possible to the books. In my opinion The Hobbit couldn't be further from the book. The book was written for children. Yes there's battle and violence in the book, but not on the scale of the movie. If anything the movie is darker than the three LOTR movies. The movie also take liberties with the story. I don't remember Thorin's grudge match with the head goblin. It just makes if more violent and darker. LOTR movie came out I looked forward to each new one. I have no desire to see the last two Hobbit movies, even when they're offered in the local library.
