May Contain spoilers

Rating: 3/10 (18 December 2012)

As one who has always been a fan of the hobbit (my first exposure being the 1977 Cartoon), I must say I was mortified by what I saw on that screen. First of all, there were characters that were never once mentioned in the book. That by itself baffled me as I would never have thought to tamper with the perfection that the book was. Second, there were scene that were obviously filler so Peter Jackson could stretch a classic tale into another three movies about walking and getting dirt under their fingernails. On top of that, I feel Peter Jackson betrayed himself as an artist with the standards he set in the first LOTR movie by not using actual extras for his Orc instead of CGI.
Anyway, I have now ranted and put my piece out there for anyone who is as in love with the real story as I, beware, and don't go into it expecting to see a true rendition, instead, go in expecting nothing and you will enjoy yourself more. Or, stick with the book and 1977 cartoon.
