In My List of Top Ten Movies

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2012)

I'm an old man and ain't got time left in this life to write a lot. Took three of my sons to see the midnight showing of this movie (IMAX and 3D), paid big bucks to do so, and expected a lot. I've read "The Hobbit" and LOTR many, many times each, probably more times than some of you are old, and I loved the movie. I will go back a see it again.
I didn't care that the movie "strayed" from the book, it stayed true to the story.
It was entertaining, it was fun, and, even though I only have like another thirty or so years left in my life, the waiting in line for two hours, sitting in the theater for an hour and half watching the funny antics of all the kids, (BTW, of the over 600 people in the theater, I was the oldest by 10 years.), ~3 hours watching the movie, half hour looking for my car (forgot where we parked), and two hours of total driving, it was time very well spent and used.
