Re: The Hobbit
The wife and I went to see the Hobbit last weekend. I read the books as a 12 year old, and from memory, it seemed to follow along the story very well. I did think the graphics were a little much, almost like a video game, but that comes with the territory. I especially liked the scenes with the dwarfs tossing things around and singing.
The wife never read any of it and watched one of the LOTR movies. She enjoyed it. But toward the end of the movie, we both were getting sleepy from sitting so long. It should have been a bit shorter, but overall, we both enjoyed it.
