With the boy having finished The Hobbit, he’s been after us to let him watch the movie. The only catch is the Wife and I haven’t pre-screened it yet. We’re doing so now.
I’ve been wondering how the heck they were going to turn a relatively short story into 3 movies. I just didn’t believe the source material was sufficient. I figured maybe the whole story was worth a good 3 hour-epic type format.
We’re about halfway through now and the basic tact has been to extend certain scenes, like the dwarves arrival, for comic relief. They also seem to have added filler material here and there.
Overall, it’s been good and, I think, at it’s best when working straight from the source material. Luckily for the boy, nothing to object to so far.

At least you’ve reviewed the other three movies !
