As much as i knock these Hobbit movies compared to the original LoTR trilogy due to their overuse of CGI which is why a lot of people felt more disconnected with these three movies compared to the original 3, i STILL love all these movies..the story is just so engrossing. I think out of the these three, this is my fave..can’t say the same for the first trilogy, they are ALL my faves lol..I watch this trilogy at least once a month to get my “fix” so to speak, followed by the other three of course..it is a full weekend of watching, but starting from this movie going all the way to Return of the King in one weekend, you can truly appreciate how AMAZING these movies are and how awesome the world of Middle Earth is..I read The Hobbit in Gr.10 for English class and it was one of the books that started me on my love for this genre (Fantasy of course) and i am SO glad it was the book that did it because it was so well written, so engrossing that you are constantly chasing that…what is the word..satisfaction i guess?..from all other books you read afterwards, and i admit, i love the journeys i get taken on when exploring for new worlds to delve into (Robert Jordans Wheel of Time series [amazing!], Forgotten Realms [Drizzt Do’Urden is my all time fave hero] and The Sword of Truth series are my top three after all my years of searching for grand, detailed and immersive worlds to live in). I read Fellowship of the Ring and half of Two Towers back in the day..never got to finish it..I am actually looking to buy the entire series, including the Silmallarion (did i spell that right?) which supposedly is a book of short stories covering the early history of Middle-Earth, how the Wizards came into being, Saurons story of how he turned from Good to evil, and it also follows stories that occured during the War of the Ring that were touched upon during the reading of the books but were never finished, so it supposedly gives closure to some stories and explores other events that happened while Frodo was travelling to Mordor but events that were just as important as a whole to the main story if you know what i mean..i am actually really looking forward to reading Silmarillion..Tolkien really created an entire Universe in such detail that you have to read the books to truly appreciate how deep he delved into the history of Middle-Earth that he created which is why he is known as one of the greatest writers of all time. Anyways, sorry this is so long lol. 10/10!
