Loved it in 3D

Rating: 9/10 (8 April 2013)

It's not Lord of the Rings and some people who I knew were disappointed with this film's juvenile humour obviously have either not read the book or understood that Tolkien wrote The Hobbit as a children's story. I don't think it would be wise to change child's folklore to appease the interest of an adult audience that lends itself well to the Lord of the Rings series. Peter Jackson goes further with this movie than does the actual book, but still in many ways does authentic justice to the characters in this film as they closely match Tolkien's characters as he describes them in the book. I almost wish that Peter Jackson could have done Lord of the Rings now with all the special effects he used for The Hobbit. All the battles or fast action scenes in the Hobbit are done with incredible precision. Many of the battle scenes in Lord of the Rings although extremely well done for that time (early 2000) did not have the detail and precision as did the Hobbit's. Love the book and love the film just as much.
