I read and enjoyed the Tolkien books decades ago so when the first Lord of the Rings film was released I was quite interested in see it. While it was technically interesting I was not overwhelmed. I found the 2nd 3rd films tedious ... so, I will be skipping The Hobbit altogether.
There's an old saying ...the best movie derive from short stories, even as short as a letter. Novels turned into films generally fail because they satisfy neither the book readers or first time viewers.

Those movies almost killed me. I dont' sit still well.
I read the books a long time ago, and found the movies interesting, but with so much going on not completely satisfying.

I think I'd check this out for a look then decided if I wanted to see it again.
Whoops! Sorry, Joe, that was me not my husband Wayne! :-)
