How a Hollywood movie misses the mark

Rating: 5/10 (4 January 2014)

I think after seeing Peter Jackson before anyone else, it was no surprise that by the end of the movie, I was without any fingers and toes left of how many mistakes there were from the book. The next movie will be titled; The hobbit, Peter Jackson's climb to power, or my delusions of grandeur as big as Saruman's.
Example: how the troop meets Beorn how the troop enters Laketown how the troop meets the spiders how Thorin is not enchanted by the elves and the lights go out how Bilbo sees the butterflies but can't see the end of the forest how Bilbo gets to have his song about the spiders, etc., etc., etc.
Please don't take my favorite books and turn them into a shot in the dark. The Lord of the Ring movies were so close to the books, don't mess up The hobbit movies just because you have the rights to the stories. Shame on you Peter.
