The Hobbit - it's wonderful!

[cookiefleck]

Well, wow, I saw The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey last night! Finally, after waiting two years for it! I know some of you will be seeing it this weekend (and I will be seeing it again this weekend, too, in 2D and in HFR3D again), and I mainly just want to say that I think it is wonderful. It was great to revisit Middle-earth. Martin Freeman is

Yay, I'm so happy you enjoyed it. I can't wait to see it.

I will be glad for you to see it. It's wonderful to go back to M-e. After 3 viewings now, each time I hated to see it end.

Some of the reviews are just misplaced in their criticism. There are things to criticize, as with any film, but some of the stuff I have read (and I have read a ton of the reviews) are exaggerated, misleading, confused, etc. - dare I say mean-spirited or arrogant? I don't know. So that is frustrating.

I hope you enjoyed the film!

Yay! I've seen it 3 times now and need MORE! :) I just want to stay in M-e for a bit longer...

Cool! Can't wait!

I'm avoiding the spoilery so I didn't read that part, but I'm SO happy to hear that it was a wonderful experience and I just can't wait!!!!!! Thank you!

[claudia603]

oh yes! :) I did have to return to this - thanks for reminding me!

I did love the additional heroic parts PJ gave Bilbo! I agree about Rivendell being a good place for a bathroom break! During FOTR I used to take a bathroom break in Rivendell, too, during Aragorn and Arwen's scene, lol!

Yeah, I thought Rivendell was going to be full of great scenes of Bilbo-in-awe, but once that passed by fairly quickly, the film was just a bit slow at a time when we all really didn't need to stop and catch our breath and would have rather kept the action going, IMO. Have seen it two more times now, will probably post some comments and pics soon. :)
