Loved the movie

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2014)

I am lucky enough not to be a purist, who speaks elvish and can recite verbatim parts of the books. I did however read the Hobbit as a child and I must say I wasn't impressed, it was okay, maybe it was because I was a girl? Not sure. These movies however I love from beginning to the end. I am thrilled Peter Jackson is at the helm of these 3 Hobbit films. I was one who was thrilled that Jackson and the Lord of the Rings Films won the Oscar, in my opinion it deserved it. They are stunning stories, stories that keep me glued to the screen. When I am thinking of nothing but what is going on the screen you have captured me, its engrossing. I will again be very sad when this trilogy is over, I loved the first one and love this 2nd one. Wish Viggo Mortensen would of chosen to be in the film. Love the addition of Evangeline Lilly, and like an old friend loved seeing Legolas again! and the mention of Grimley, wonderful!
