I enjoyed it, but i can see why others may not have

Rating: 7/10 (30 January 2013)

Prior to seeing this i'd heard quite a few bad reviews about The Hobbit, the main problem being that it was 'boring' and nothing much happening in it.
Me being a huuuuge fan of LOTR decided to go and see it and find out for myself. I personally enjoyed it although i can see why others didn't. This is very much all about setting the scene (in fact its about an hour before we even leave Bilbo's house). The book certainly doesn't spend long focusing on the conversations between the dwarfs, Gandalf and Bilbo however being as this is gonna be three films i guess they wanted to pad it out as long as possible. As enjoyable as the film is its certainly nowhere near as dramatic as LOTR nor is their as much suspense. There is a good dose of humour though and it is good to see Sir Ian Mckellen back as Gandaf the gray, not to mention Christopher Lee playing a good Sarumon!
