The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Hmm.. I guess I wasn't paying as much attention as I thought. Guess it wasn't good enough to pay close attention:)

In any case, the story is still shallow. Dwarves got their stronghold taken, now they wanna take it back. That's pretty much the whole plot right there.

This movie, as opposed to LOTR, feels like it's geared towards a much younger audience, but maybe that's just me.

Another thing that bothered me immensely is that the main dwarf didn't even look like a dwarf. He looked like he could have been Aragorn's brother with a scruffy beard. All the other dwarves had big noses, huge ears, extravagant beards, but no, the MAIN dwarf looks just like a friggin human. What happened? Did they run out of money for costumes ?!?!?! It felt really REALLY cheap.

Is not you, the hobbit was written as a "fairy tale" while LOTR was written for older audience.

Now they tried to make the Hobbit film closer to the LOTR films, but the source material is in the end a fairy tale, so they have their limits in making it looking "serious".
 
Honestly. I'm glad it became movies. The books are, how should I say this, boring. I remember In Fellowship of the Ring, Bilbo's going away party was something like 50 pages long. I mean cmon, get to the point already!

Not only that, his writing style bores me even during battle.

I read them when I was in jail. Hey, I had nothing better to do! (was incarcerated for 6 months). The library in jail had a shitty selection and those where the only ones worth reading.
