Hallelujah, finally got to see the Hobbit movie! I really enjoyed it. Things I liked:
The burning of Laketown, wow! And I’m so glad Bard took the dragon out with a bow (sort of) rather than with that giant iron thingy. Thank goodness PJ had the sense to do that. You could have heard a pin drop when Smaug fell.
Nuclear!Galadriel! Cor, that was awesome. Gladys kicks Sauron’s backside.
The sheer visual beauty of PJ’s Middle-earth. Bless Tolkien and New Zealand for taking me there.
Billy Connolly as Dain! Ahahahaa, ‘tell them to sod off!’
Thorin’s voice going dragony.
Bilbo putting on the Ring to go to help someone, not to protect himself.
The fight scenes were hard on my bladder but PJ certainly knows how to do them. I didn’t mind Tauriel/Kili so much this time. Sniffled a bit.
The ending was a great bookend, too.
ION, my heart actually sank when I learned Benedict Cumberbatch was engaged. What a tragic fangirl. But the ABC is repeating all the Sherlock episodes, on Sundays. YEAH!
