Title: Okay... If you're not a Tolkien purist
Review: unfortunately, I am.I would have really liked this movie a lot more if I hadn't read the book first. Bilbo was nothing like I had pictured him. In fact Gandalf was the only one who was! Gollum looked like a giant, starved frog. Smaug's head looked like a giant cat's. They cut out Beorn completely. I really liked him.I did like the part where at the beginning of the war, the people who were fighting each other 5 minutes earlier were saying that they loved each other "Like brothers!"But besides that, it tried to hard to stick to the book, losing the essence.It is great for little kids who want to see the "big person" Lord of the Rings, but it is too sacary for them.
Is the review positive or negative?
