I think they did a fine job on elaborating on everything in the Hobbit. The dragon was exceedingly good and horrifying. the battles at the end were alarming and good…I give the whole trilogy an A + !!

They were my favorite books growing up. I must have read The Hobbit and the entire trilogy a dozen and half times, maybe more.

I didn’t like the ending where everything in Hobbiton was just the same as always.

I know what you mean. Maybe I’m bored with the ordinary - mine not being too satisfactory.

Loved the books and glad of the LOTR trilogy. Great movie making with source.
Hobbit. Horrible. Didn’t even get through first movie. Too much liberty with source which was a great little adventure that should have translated well. All the additions I found out about and saw made it so bad. It was just rubbish and should have been a two movie at most classic.
Just my opinion as a LOTR fan.
Ps. I see they are/thinking of doing a Silmarillion series. That could be awesome!

I find these books childish. I don’t know why

The hobbit was a kids book. The Lord of The Rings had a lot more to it and was adult. It was weirdly adult though. It was very boyish. It was a lot about males and questing and females were poor characters mostly.
Still. It defined heroic fantasy for all time and it’s left a great mark.
Yes. Every male named his sword but there was an innocence to the writing and it made it ok!
