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.

Peter Jackson did an excellent job on LOTR. Anything that wasn’t included either would have distracted from the main storyline or would have left most movie goer confused.

They only screwed up a few things. One was the way they got their swords. The second was Tom Bombadil. The third was Arwen rescuing Frodo instead of Glorfindel. The fourth was the reforging of Aragorn’s sword. Other than that they were fairly true to the story.
