The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

[Raph's Girl]

Just got back from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and loved it. Im not a LOTR fan at all and found the film enjoyable, and WAAY more entertaining than the previous LOTR films. Richard Armitage rox and I loved Sylvester McCoy as Radagast.

Pretty sure the last time I saw this movie it went by the name "Fellowship of the Ring". I had heard about the original elements utlizied by the writers and it really showed, felt like a waste of time to me. And the cliffhanger wasnt one by much either, ending it with

Spoiler:

the forest fire

would have been a good spot.

McCoy was the best thing about it.

A more cliffhangerous ending would have been terrible, I like the one they did. But they can still do it with the next one.

I agree,

Spoiler:

The whole point of Bilbo saving Thorin at the end was to make a solid friendship/connection between the two characters. ( a little too blatant if you ask me, Bilbo's not even supposed to kill anyone until they make it to Mirkwood) It ended on such a happy note so the next film can start out with Bil and Thor being best buds, all to make it more "extreme" when that friendship is broken when Bilbo gives over the arkenstone.

I fully believe the next film will end on a cliffhanger, having the 5 armies begin to move in on Lonely Mountain.

I noticed that too, it especially showed when they stopped in Rivendell, and

Spoiler:

Gandalf is telling them about the sword Radagast gave him.

I thought the movie was a lot of fun, though. I can't get enough sword and sorcery, so I can forgive the parts where the movie slowed down because the overall package was solid.
