I loved the Lord of the Rings movies so I was very excited to go back to Middle Earth in the Hobbit movies. I was giving a concert in Switzerland during December when the movie came out and was too busy to see it during its first two weeks. I mentioned it to the producer so much that he brought me with his son to see the movie a few days after the concert.
I've read the book and knew the movie had added scenes to it to give a one book story a three movie story. The quality of the filming cannot be denied and I enjoyed the movie a lot but there is a difference in the feeling between LOTR and The Hobbit. I felt more like there was a deep story in LOTR and more like the Hobbit was a fun story. That may be the goal of Peter Jackson while making the Hobbit. The scenes in the Goblin King's realm was a bit like a circus and the Stone Giant scenes were similarly fast paced, exciting and fun. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed myself but the difference in feeling between the two series stood out.
What do you think? Did you feel a difference too?
I am such a geek about Middle Earth that I made a video of me singing the Hobbit movie theme song dressed like a Ranger and even fight a dragon in it.
