Watched the Hobbit last night. The three hours flew by. Had a couple of slow scenes but it was worth it. Now I have to wait for the next release.
Next release?
Is this a complete movie or a "to be continued"?

I thought that didn't open until the 14th? I already have my tix, I can't wait to see it!

Just looked it up, three movies; The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, The Hobbit: There and Back Again.
At least three freaking years to see the whole thing
Beautiful torture! I'd rather string it out for three years because I'll be so disheartened when they're finally done. Hopefully Jackson will tackle The Silmarillion, it's the only one left.

Yep, they are stuffing in a lot more stuff than just what was in the Hobbit. Because in "reality", that story was one tiny piece of a much larger story, the prelude to the war for the One ring. So I'm am cool with it taking three movies.
I was convinced it was going to be okay when he nailed Moira so well. The look, the sounds, the Balrog, it was as if he was able to see the images my mind had built for those scenes when I read it in 1976
The daughter and I were talking the other day about the Silmarillion, and hoping he gets to play in there also. Much harder to do, it's so disjointed without the detail and characterization of the other books. But if anyone can pull it, I think he can.

Looking forward seeing this movie!
This person for sure a big fan.......
"CHESTER COUNTY, Pa. (AP) — Worlds away from the Shire, a stone cottage tucked into the Pennsylvania countryside would make Bilbo Baggins feel like he was back home with his Hobbit friends in Middle-earth.
Nestled in a part of Chester County dotted with picturesque barns and rolling fields surprisingly close to Philadelphia, this Hobbit house belongs to a lifelong fan of author J.R.R. Tolkien who wanted a worthy — and private — repository for the rare books and Tolkien-inspired memorabilia he has collected in 30 years of travel in the U.S. and abroad.
The 600-square foot building is a short walk from his main house, on a flat stone path and through an English-style garden. "

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!
I've wanted a Story Book/English Tudor home for the last 24 years. I will build one...one of these days...even if I have to kill to do it.
A friend and I went to see it yesterday and LOVED it. We saw it in 3-D and I have to say I jumped a couple of times.
With all the "coming and attractions" before and then the movie itself, it was a solid 3 hours with no intermission. So be prepared for an "iron butt" experience but it was well worth it.

I saw it new years eve. The theater here in the dorf has reclining seats so I didnt have the "iron butt". It was a good movie, but now we have to wait for the next two.

I admit I haven't been to Waldorf in ages and may have to venture up there to check out the theater with those comfy recliners. We went to Annapolis to see it and while the stadium seating was nice, it just wasn't 3 hours worthy nice.
I don't mind waiting for the next installment. It builds anticipation and will allow me time to revisit the book first.

See we are not all getto up here in the dorf.
True, but it's the ones that ARE who worry me.
And a note to parents: please do not take your young child to see this movie. It is way too long for them and at times extremely violent.
I was seated next to about a 4 or 5 year old accompanied by his father and after about an hour he was squirming mightily and starting to talk. After being accidentally kicked several times, the father noticed and switched seats so the child was no longer next to me but you could still feel the vibrations though the seats of the kid bouncing around and occasionally hear him talking when bored. I give kudos to the father taking care of his child before it became an issue but it still was a bit disruptive at times.

NOT RECOMMENDED, if someone you are taking with you has not seen or are at least familier with the Lord Of The Rings books/movies, or hasn't read The Hobbit.
OMG, I don't understand how you can be a 'Murican and not know anything about LOTR or the Hobbit. I swear my mom must be a hobbit and doesn't know it.
So other than explaining everything after the movie (luckily the boy was next to her), it was a great movie!
