Finally saw The Hobbit.
Jan. 2nd, 2013 12:10 amFirst thing I have to say about Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: ( I loved it. )
The second thing I have to say about The Hobbit: ( And Peter Jackson doesn't understand The Hobbit at all. )
But all that aside: who cares? The beauty of Middle-earth as seen through the eyes of Peter Jackson cannot be compassed. The movie must be seen in the theatre to appreciate it.
The Hobbit, by which I mean the book and the movie, has something in the character Bilbo that The Lord of the Rings does not, which is a healthy sense of irony. Something Peter Jackson shares. So in the last line of the movie, Bilbo Baggins and Peter Jackson are a match made in ... well, perhaps the Havens?
( P.S.: I eagerly await the next part. ) Someone told me that it wasn't a cliffhanger because I knew the story. Oh, that's so not true!
