Hobbits

Well today was an adventure! I saw the Hobbit, and it was well, ok. I am really comparing the Hobbit the the original Lord of the Rings trilogy in this review, so here it goes. You probably would not get the Hobbit if you haven't seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy and if you haven't, go see it NOW!!! Anyway, Bilbo, the protagonist, was living the quiet life until Gandalf, a wizard, urged him onto an adventure. In comes 13 dwarves, who sing, dance and eat a lot.  ok, that was believable.  Then this merry group goes on their quest to take back the dwarves treasure that was stolen from them by the vicious, evil, talking, dragon, Smaug.  They meet trolls and almost die, but don't.  They meet orcs and almost die, but don't.  Then they meet goblins and almost die, but don't.   This part was all totally believable, but what wasn't was why the giant eagles who rescue Bilbo and the dwarfs after their narrow escape from the Goblin cave didn't drop them off of their destination, the dwarf's mountain only a few miles away, or why they added 2 extra wizards (they were buzz kills in my opinion).  The oddest moment of all was at the end when Thorin, head dwarf after being saved by Bilbo, said, to Bilbo,  I hate you, you are worthless, etc then says that"s not what he thinks anymore.  It was so random that I just laughed out of confusion. Overall, it was a good movie that is all.....
