Oh god, so Hobbit is a classic now? It's a classic children's book, which essentially means "enduringly popular". Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoyed it when I first read it at about 9 years old, and has some good stuff in it, but having read it at a later age (as expected from a LotR fan), it's hardly a great piece of literature.

Also; as entertainment Thor 2 was much better than any of the Tolkien films (even if the multidimensional end-fight would probably have benefitted from being rethought once more from the start.)
