Reminder of Lord of Rings trilogy

Rating: 7/10 (26 December 2013)

The 169 minute version of the movie was an opportunity to watch some of the characters from the Ring trilogy develop and grow into the what they will be in the later series. We get to see a young Bilbo, unsure and unchallenged, become something more resilient an intrepid. Watching the 169 minute movie in a private setting allowed for any number of breaks and rewinds of the movie to catch on scenery and missed dialog. Furthermore, for a health enthusiast it allowed the opportunity to workout and watch a movie at the same time. The scenery in the movie was breathtaking. Sharing the movie with 3 teenagers allowed them to explain and relate parts of the "hobbit: an unexpected journey" to the ring trilogy. Good for someone like me who had seen the trilogy series a long time ago and forgotten some of the previous characters.
