I went into the theater with low expectations (despite all the hype) and left feeling pretty amazed. The first installment of The Hobbit was more than I hoped- a luscious journey through spectacular mountains, forests, and caves. I wanted to see the familiar characters and be fascinated by the imagined world of Tolkien. I have to say I was. It was not too drawn out for my tastes, though I do understand why some would be irritated. Once all the films are finished, I can see a seamless epic. And the super-realistic quality and 3D did not make my eyes water- it was masterfully done. I just loved seeing all the mossy branches, jagged rocks, and sparks. I will be watching this again and again.
