money well spent

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2013)

I have seen the Hobbit three times now and each time I find something new and my delight in the movie continues to grow. Contrary to what others might say I did not notice the time passing at all- the movie did not seem overly long and I felt as if I had walked out of a movie that was 1 1/2 hours rather than 3. Yes there are scenes that seem unrealistic and yes, the battle sequences in Goblin City are a bit far-fetched but it didn't lessen my enjoyment of watching them. I loved the music, the scenery, and the characters in this film, and would gladly watch the film again and again.
I am looking forward to Desolation of Smaug in 2013 and There and Back Again in 2014
