My Thoughts:
- The movie was good and very well done, but I have mixed feelings.
- I feel like they took a lot more liberties with this one than they did with Lord of the Rings.
- I haven't read The Silmarillion, and I know they added some things from that, so I can't fairly judge a lot of the liberties they took.
- I didn't like the giant rock dudes. They didn't add anything.
- I didn't like how Bilbo was going to leave the company. That was never the case. He complained about the comforts of home, but he never attempted to leave.
- I LOVED the dwarves' songs. They were awesome!
- I loved the dwarves a lot. They were wonderful! Thorin was cast perfectly! He was exactly as I imagined him, very regal and proud.
- I laughed a lot.
- I was entertained the whole way through. Some parts were slower, but I was still entertained.
- It was so much fun to revisit Middle Earth and it's beloved characters.
- I love that they made Gloin look a bit like Gimli!
- Kili and Fili were very fun. I always imagined them looking more similar, but they were awesome!
- My favorite chapter in The Hobbit has always been Riddles in the Dark, and that was a very well done part in the movie. They left out a few riddles though.
- The music was fantastic!! I love Howard Shore!
Hubby's Thoughts:
- I hated the rock giants.
- I hated how Thorin was a jerk to Bilbo.
- I didn't like how Bilbo found the ring.
- I loved that the story was still told.
- It was good overall, but it wasn't epic.
I'm a little bit worried about "the liberties" they took with this one, but I still can't wait to see it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it.
