I read the Hobbit in 1967, I think, getting old, when I grabbed a book from a Red Cross care package in Viet Nam, hooked.

I introduced the book to my coworkers at a power plant in 1969 most were enthauled, we even had a coworker who is still known as Frodo, 43 years later.

I hope they haven't screwed this up as they did the Lord of The Rings.

I hope they haven't screwed this up as they did the Lord of The Rings.

Having read the LOTR probably six times over the last 35 years...I thought the movies were very well done

I think Jackson did a outstanding job taking the book form into a movie format

Granted he left many important details out of the movies, but you are talking probably six movies to put everything in...

My biggest beef was he left out the the most important moral aspect of the story..

“I hope they haven’t screwed this up as they did the Lord of The Rings.”

Me too. Jackson seriuosly screwed over several characters making Frodo feckless and Faramir evil. I’m hoping he leaves the Hobbit characters and story line alone.
