And apparently they are awesome. Metro Goldwyn Mayer - again - did some great filming.

When I initially watched the hobbit parts, I was mad about not respecting the books. They kinda did, I know realize. In HD, and in native language these movies are a piece of art.

I had a very strong opinion about how bad they were - but I reconsidered. Even the lead actor Bilbo I opposed - He did a remarkable act. Anyhow. American influence hits hard, once it does. Started at some safari show with a lion named Clarence. Don't know the name but I loved it - as fair as I can remember.

Love all, but Some.

The first film and a half is rather good. It starts going downhill at the river barrel scene.

Then there was the dragon fight in the third one, oh dear was that terrible.

The whole Gandalf knocking off for a bit is cannon though, so I am fine. It kinda explains why the eye returned to Mordor after so long time.
