Doesn't live up to the book

Rating: 4/10 (14 December 2012)

As a follower of Tolkien, I went to watch the Hobbit with anticipation. There were a few really good parts, but most of it I was very disappointed with. After what Peter Jackson did to the Lord of the Rings series, I expected him to do a GREAT job with this one but I couldn't have been more wrong. I would suggest to Jackson to send the movie back and have some of the questionable scenes edited to reflect the mood and story in the book. He also seems to really like battle scenes so much that he had to invent some that were not even in the book. By the time all 3 movies are done, it will be a total of 9 hours, and we are talking about a 300 page book.
