Wow

Rating: 9/10 (14 March 2002)

I've read quite a lot of comments on this film and people either really love the film or really hate it. I for one loved it.
I'm 15. I had read the hobbit a few years ago when my auntie gave it me for Christmas and had really enjoyed. I was really looking forward to seeing the movie, as i hadn't read the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and i wasn't disappointed. I loved every second of it, so i went to see it again and I'm planning another visit soon.
What i can't believe is that people older than me didn't understand what was happening. I thought it was perfectly clear. Even my sister (who is 12) understood. I'd only ever come across Gandalf and Bilbo before, knew nothing of the plotline (except that a ring was involved) and followed everything. I then went on to read the books and really enjoyed them too.
I thought the movie was excellent and I'm really looking forward to the next two. They can't come soon enough. I loved all the characters and they were all cast perfectly. Gandalf was great, Frodo was believable and the Orcs were scary. I thoroughly recommend it.
