it's not a child's fairy tale even if he did originally write it for his kids.
ye it is

the only time it starts to get 2deep4children is near the end.

The whole book is deep.

What does a child know about taking or not taking a life?That's early on in the book.

A child can read that, but only some people will truly understand it.
Yeah but there are lots of little things like that in children's books/movies/tv shows. They're still childish things.

The Hobbit isn't a "childrens book" in the sense that, say, Harry Potter is or Where the Wild Things Are is; but it's undoubtedly light-hearted and childish.

I agree, but Riddles in the Dark wasn't a scene to mess with.

The Hobbit follows in the footsteps of a movie series considered to be "god-like" by fans and critics. Every movie has its flaws, however when a movie that serves as a prequel to a series that won over a dozen academy awards comes out critics will nitpick it apart. In reality the film is really well done, however people went into it expecting the film to be one of the best pictures of all time.

If the Hobbit came out before any Lord of the Rings movie it would have been received just as highly, if not, higher then the Fellowship of the Ring.

I don't understand how people can dislike a higher framerate. That's just nonsensical to me.

Because higher always means better, right?

In terms of frame rate? Yes, you utter ignoramus.

Brainwashing, idiotic media: "hur dur, vido gaems cas vilenc n iz nt gud. dey ned 2 b baned."

Logic: Really? Then please explain how there's violence in third world countries. I guess they're all poor due to the large amount of video games they buy.

Because people are trying to compare it to the LOTR trilogy in the following ways:

- Under-developed characters (Dwarves)
- Less serious
- More humorous
- Kid friendly

Funny thing is that if these critics read the book then they will have noticed the following:

- It was intended for kids
- It was intended to be a non-serious tone
- It was intended to be funny
- The book developed the dwarves even less then the movie did

How do I know this? Because I had to read The Hobbit back in 7th grade.

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

I didn't like it.

Bilbo was an uninteresting protagonist who did sod all and I hated the way they just jumped around.


And Radagast sucked

I didn't like:

- The light tone
- Trying to be funny
- Too different from Lord of the Rings
- A bit too long
- The CGI

But I still loved it. It isn't as good as the Lord of the Rings films, but still a fantastic movie, and I really want to see it again. I just hope the next two get a bit darker and more realistic in their approach (like the LoTR films).

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

Because it was the worst LOTR film by far. But still a great movie.

I loved it. Screw the critics, your opinion is what counts.


The hobbit was written for children/younger audience.

Of course it's going to be less serious.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

I've never seen any of the LotR movies or read the books; I saw The Hobbit yesterday and thought it was an excellent movie.

He threw down a glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up now you're gone
The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
The choice of weapons is done
He'll tear you apart as soon as you start
You know you don't have a chance.

People didn't like:

-CGI
-High Frames
-Not like LotR
-Pacing

These are some of the main reasons I see when looking at negative reviews for the movie.

I liked:

-CGI
-High Frames( makes the movie so much better )
-Not like LotR
-Pacing

  • 12.22.2012 6:08 AM PDT

I thought it was pretty good.
