Okay,
so...the Hobbit. It was a nice film. I enjoyed watching it. I probably enjoyed
watching it more than I enjoyed reading the book, since I never particularly
liked it and I’ve read it only once. However, I don’t really think it’ll leave
any kind of mark on me. One of the reviews I’ve read said “three hours later, I
don’t even know I saw a Hobbit”. Which covers it pretty well, I think. Not
literally, of course, as a Tolkien fan, I’m bound to think about it quite a
bit, but the story simply isn’t that memorable and the film doesn’t really
bring anything new. The sceneries, the battles ... we know all of it already,
from The Lord of the Rings. It still works well, but the wow effect simply
cannot be there after all this time.
