“So I went to The Hobbit marathon. Yes, my fangirling has reached the level where Iu0026#39;m willing to sit in a theater for nine hours straight.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFirst of all, seeing the first two movies on the big screen again (and for the last time) was a wonderful experience. Seeing all three on the big screen in one night? Very cool. And getting to watch the character transformations and story lines in a row, fantastic. The effects, casting, acting, setting, action… everything was good. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMartin Freeman should win some major awards for his acting… actually everyone should. Theyu0026#39;re all incredible. I must say, I cried for most of the last fifteen or so minutes. If youu0026#39;ve read the book etc., you know why. If not, please go so you can cry too.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe action and battle scenes are captivating, intense, and extremely fun to watch. We get more info about Sauron, which makes me very happy. We also get more Legolas and Tauriel, and letu0026#39;s be honest, who doesnu0026#39;t want more Elvish epicness?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere were a few moments I could have done without, and a few moments where the CGI seemed off, but other than that, I honestly couldnu0026#39;t ask for a better movie. I feel like braiding my hair and learning to wield a sword now. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePeople complain about these movies so much, but honestly, this is as good as it gets when it comes to book adaptations.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e9/10u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOnce again, thank you Peter Jackson. Agorel vae. Galu.”
