That he had have lived, and you had died in his stead (now is a time for Faramir, captain of Gondor, to show his quality)

Everyone here is talking about the movies but I’ll say book wise The Hobbit is a great read. I’ve probably read it more than the LOTR trilogy

Yeah the book is fantastic isn’t it

The rankin bass movie is quite enjoyable

Except the Hobbit movies actually suck, and Faromir just isn't Boromir. Couldn't even die right.

The Hobbit clearly suffers from trying to force a 90 min movie into 8 hours. Someone on Lemmy mentioned that there was an edit (90 min, or 2 hrs maybe? ) that was fantastic. Haven't seen it though.

Yeah, but you can't magically make Tom Bombadil appear. Absolute travesty that you pull so much shit out of your ass but you don't put in a character from the book (he is kinda meaningless, but it's beside the point).

But hey, we got unnecessary Legolas 🙄

Idk, I liked the first one quite a bit, and the second one was mostly decent, all of my big issues are with the 3rd movie

Hobbit the book is a fun, whimsical romp and a prelude to LOTR, while Hobbit the movie is a miserable exercise in corporate franchise milking. The two are not the same.

I just bought the extended Hobbit 4K blue ray collection….is this a time for the Hobbit to show its quality?

It’s not perfect but it has Dwarves singing about dragons gold, Bilbo and Gandalf I’m happy to spend a few hours in Middle Earth

Once I finish the LOTR rewatch of course.

If this were truely accurate Faramir would be like three of the unfinished clones from Alien 4.
