It finally comes out this weekend, after waiting for years! The Hobbit has always been one of our family’s favorite books. And I recently saw The Lord of the Rings for the first time, so that will make it increasingly appropriate. After waiting this long, it had better be good!
From a young age I’ve listened to The Hobbit, and I just recently read it. Who couldn’t love Bilbo? All of the characters are excellent, though. It’s surprising that they made that little book into three movies, though!
I enjoyed the Lord of the Rings. I think I’ll like this one better though, because I am more into adventure than war. (And because we were forced to look away for a third of it!) I like more of the focus on Bilbo and finding out how a little hobbit can make such a difference in the world!
But, I am sure I will like the other two movies better. This one has…… dare I say his name…… Gollum! (shiver) I’ve had a lifelong fear of him. If you’d have seen the old cartoon version you would understand. He looked like a frog and had such an evil voice. And it doesn’t help that my siblings go around saying “Precious” and “IT came to me on my birthday!” So you can pity me as I lie in bed shivering one dark night after I see it…..
