A Fine Adventure Indeed

[alee_grrl]

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was delightful. I'm not sure I would recommend it for those who are not necessarily fantasy/adventure fans, or Tolkien fans. But if you are a fan of either, particularly a fan of Tolkien it is a wonderful movie and a fabulous adaptation. The pacing may feel a little slow in places to some, but it captures the long boring stretches of traveling that often occur on such a long journey. I found the pacing to be just right, with wonderful visuals and details from the story and tie ins to the larger Tolkien universe. It is clearly a work of love, a movie made by fans and for fans.

I enjoyed it too! And it inspired my sister to actually read the book, so win!

Yay! I remember reading the book with my brother when we were kids. It was the book that really got him interested in reading. :)

Just had to tell you that I love your icon! I've yet to see "The Hobbit", but I hope I can do so soon.
