So, you know when people always say the book was<wbr /> better because it went into so much more detail<wbr />? Well, The Hobbit is what you get when you take<wbr /> the time to write a screenplay that is more fai<wbr />thful to the book.You get (3) 3 hour movies, tha<wbr />t are a little slow at times, and depend much mo<wbr />re on character development, and story backgroun<wbr />d in order to keep the plot moving along.
<br />
<br />Mar<wbr />tin Freeman did an incredible job as Bilbo Baggi<wbr />ns. Great acting. But the other characters were <wbr />a little stale and predicatable. Peter Jackson u<wbr />sed some of the same tricks and dialoge from the<wbr /> LOTR trilogy, and really these two stories are <wbr />seperate from each other. I think anyone who thi<wbr />nks this is a prequel to LOTR may be setting the<wbr />mselves up for dissapointment. It was a roll of <wbr />the dice though, he (Peter Jackson) could have t<wbr />ried to go in a completely different direction a<wbr />nd risked alienating the fan base. So, all in al<wbr />l; not bad. But certianly not worthy of 5 stars <wbr />or a &#39;Must Go!&#39;.
