Everyone here is talking about the movies but I’ll say book wise The Hobbit is a great read. I’ve probably read it more than the LOTR trilogy

Except the Hobbit movies actually suck, and Faromir just isn't Boromir. Couldn't even die right.

Hobbit the book is a fun, whimsical romp and a prelude to LOTR, while Hobbit the movie is a miserable exercise in corporate franchise milking. The two are not the same.

I just bought the extended Hobbit 4K blue ray collection….is this a time for the Hobbit to show its quality?

It’s not perfect but it has Dwarves singing about dragons gold, Bilbo and Gandalf I’m happy to spend a few hours in Middle Earth

Once I finish the LOTR rewatch of course.

I'm not a fan of the Hobbit movies nearly as much as LotR, but I do enjoy some of the scenes and recognize that if not for Peter Jackson we would have gotten either nothing at all, or someone other director's version with pieced together parts of what had been done. I actually like Del Toro's concept he was trying to do, but it was obviously too complex of a puzzle.

If this were truely accurate Faramir would be like three of the unfinished clones from Alien 4.

fuckin. ded.

My books are spent....
