Subject: Is The Hobbit any good?

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle- victorious"

Is it on par with the original trilogy?
Rating?
Is it worth watching?

I'm going to watch it tomorrow.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Mixed reviews, generally positive.

From what I've HEARD it is good but it's apparently drags on a bit as it's a short book thats being made into a 9 hours worth of film.

"It is the cruelest fate, to have written words that meant well and see them made wicked and unwise. What was meant to encourage life, used instead to justify taking it."

I'm going to assume it'll be a masterpiece, but not as much as the original trilogy was. I'm seeing it midnight tonight.

I just got back from seeing it. It kind of follows the book but adds stuff to it as well, for example Azog is still alive and is hunting the group which isnt in the book at all. Also the forced Elijah Wood cameo at the beginning annoyed me alot. Some of the CGI just looked wrong, Radagast just annoyed me and Gollum was played off for laughs.

Its not a bad film but if you're a fan of the series you'l either be disappointed like me or love in blindly like my fanboy friends.
