The book was bland and needed an extra oomph which the film has provided

Rating: 8/10 (23 November 2014)

In my opinion the 'hobbit' is not a very eventful or exciting book. I love lord of the rings it is by far the best fantasy film that has ever been made in my opinion, but the hobbit has a very repetitive storyline. They get captured by elves they escape, captured by trolls then escaped, they get captured by mountain trolls then escape captured by spiders then escape...And so on. It is just not very good book compared to the brilliant Lord of the rings. The book needed an added story and many more events for it actually to be successful and enjoyable. The films have added many more layers to the story and actually make it have a good storyline. The book was bland and needed an extra oomph which the film has provided. It was as good as it could have been in my opinion,
