Loved it!

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2012)

I have to say, I really enjoyed this. Did it drag at the beginning? I didn't think so, but I can understand why some might say it did. Did it deviate from the book? Yes, but not the plot. Everything that happened was canon to the series, even if it wasn't necessarily in the Hobbit book proper. I personally loved the music, and had no objections to reusing the themes, though it wouldn't have hurt to keep the specific themes to their specific characters. The dwarfs I really liked. I get that the Hobbit is supposed to be a lighter show than LotR. I like how more developed they are than in the books, where you can even remember half their names. I've seen it twice, once in 3D and once in 2D. I enjoyed both, though the 3D was a bit distracting, it was very well done. I personally had no qualm with the pacing. TBH, I found LotR dragged more than the Hobbit. Also, loved the scenes with Gollum. I don't think anyone can complain against those, that was a GREAT scene! Hope to see it again soon!
