Unlike critics and fan boys and everyone else in between, I went to see "The Hobbit" with zero expectations. I loved the the LOTR, as I believe they are masterpieces that will not be remade in my lifetime or ever.
The Hobbit, while not as serious or perhaps as developed as LOTR was. Think about the book that it has to draw its information on. It's a children's book, not an in-depth work of fiction for adults. It has been adapted and it has other sources of Tolkien lore thrown into it to bulk it out and mature its storyline. I felt that this was done to preserve the movie for years to come and to allow a wider audience to enjoy it. Personally as an adult, I don't want to follow on from LOTR (being directed at adults) then going to watch a children's movie.
Currently it's an incomplete story, before all of the naysayers pass judgment wait until all three films have been released.
Personally I am glad that more movies like these are coming out. Everyone I know carries on about how Hollywood has no original movies left and its just the same old garbage regurgitated and renamed. This is an original piece and I'm glad it's here to shake up the status quo. I think everyone should take a big step back and think about the kind off movies you want on screen - do you want another so called "comedy" from the likes of Ben Stiller or Vince Vaughn, or try hard remakes like "21 jump street".
No thanks...I certainly am over these movies. Bring on more movies like The Hobbit!
