I had some misgivings, given some of the dwarves seemed to have not bothered with make-up and obviously I knew there'd be changes.<br /><br />Once I started watching, and got enthralled by the film, with how the dwarf characters interacted with each other and what not, all these were forgotten. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and like you the film flew by without feeling dragged out or anything.

Probably more that the LOTR series maybe because it didn't seem determined to overawe (or maybe because I'm used to it now). I thought Martin Freeman nailed it in the first five minutes.<br /><br />I understand there's a fair bit of stuff included from the Lost Tales (Christopher Tolkein's attempt at a money spinner), but THREE films all pretending to be The Hobbit really is a bit of a piss take. However, if they changed the title(s) to something else it wouldn't be as marketable. Watch the money come rolling in eh?<br /><br />Cate Blanchett - now there's a fantasy worth having . . .GaryAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06963552380378929829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1581073256021644369.post-59288850420400439402012-12-31T09:55:39.825+00:002012-12-31T09:55:39.825+00:00I have won tickets to see it at IMAX, and I'm ...I have won tickets to see it at IMAX, and I'm looking forward to seeing it even more, now that I've read your excellent review!

This is somevhat of a victory in our house as it normally takes a Playstation controller to get any type of positive reaction out of him. <br /><br />As for the story being spread out over 3 movies with extra bits from the Lost Tales...yeah I can live with that.

It will keep my Middle-Earth interest and thus painting up LOTR stuff happily for the next couple of years at least... so long as my credit card can handle it!<br />Thats the only thing that has rankled me - GW's prices!

Eventually they realized this was the very last time they'd ever be able to visit Middle Earth, so we'll be seeing some things that aren't directly in the book.<br /><br />If I recall correctly we'll see the White Council drive Sauron out of southern Mirkwood (where he's in the guise of the Necromancer), as well as the defense of Loth Lorien and Lonely Mountain during the War of the Ring. <br /><br />There's a LOT of material they could touch on, and I'll watch them, and see how I feel they did.<br /><br />My one fear is being the guy that yells out "I've been there!" while seeing some of NZ countryside.
