The hobbit

[mbc]

I'm a Tolkien fan so went to watch it and IMHO Jackson has a good feel for bringing Tolkien to the big screen and I enjoyed it, I even thought the 3d was good when I mistakenly booked a seat for a 3d showing.

I am not quite sure how they managed to make the little book that was The Hobbit into 3 (long) films........

But I will probably check it out at some point.

We're off to see it in about half an hour. My 11 year old has a knitted beard, cape and pipe. He's threatening to wear them.

I would go as gollum - but it's a bit cold where I am at the moment

3D was the best I've seen, but would have preferred 2D, but the Barbican was only showing the former.

OK, looks good, not as bloody as I expected, but still a bit of a Chinese meal and fairly lightweight.

What have I got in my pocket?

Yes we thoroughly enjoyed it but you're right. LOTR sets the bar so high (book and movie) that The Hobbit will inevitably fall short in comparison. Good enough that I'd go watch it again though.

Of course, my eyes also go funny when I have a puff on a pipe

Particularly a knitted one . . .

Little boy....................

Whoops shouldn't say things like that with what's obsessing the press at the moment
