posted in Reccommend thread but I'll put it here too.
I liked the Hobbit. But its really been too long since I read the book for me to remember which parts were in the book and which parts have been added (although I think it's pretty clear anything having to do with Sauron and such wasn't). So I think that allows me to just sit back and enjoy the adapted world of P. Jackson and not constantly compare what happened in the movies to the book(s). It seemed like they used a lot more make-up clad Orcs/Goblins etc... And that Azog (sp?) looked waaaay better than he did in the first one.
I do think Jackson is having a tough time making the Hobbit a bit more kid-friendly while rtying to keep the LOTR fans happy. There are some parts (Dwarves rolling down cliffs in barrels) that make you go "Ok, well its a kids movie so that's alright" but then 3 heads go flying in the next scene. Just a little odd I think. Same with Thorin riding on liquid metal on a metal sheild. Ummmmm.
Overall it was decent. I just think it's being stretched too long and 2 movies would have done just fine.
