Can't Get Enough of This Series!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2012)

Hobbits, wizards, dwarfs, elves, trolls, goblins, and dragons adorn this wonderful movie. I have read The Hobbit and all three of the Lord of the Rings books more than once. I am also aware of the complaints that Peter Jackson did not follow the story exactly. So what! He understands the spirit of Tolkien exactly. He has high standards and meets them.
This my first 3D movie. I was impressed! I really don't understand the negative reviews. I was held spellbound from beginning to end. Middle Earth has never looked so beautiful. The special effects are astounding.
Some very effective scenes were the battle against the goblins and the troll fight.
The guy who plays Thorin Oakenshield is great. All the dwarfs are just as I would have imagined them.
I have missed there being no LOTR movies at Christmas. Now we get to look forward to two more Hobbit movies.
Cheers.
