They are awesome. Good review anyway, and I agree especially on this part:

There was nothing engaging about him, nothing I can see that matches with much Tolkien wrote, and his relationship with Bilbo is also underplayed and ineffective. It almost felt like he had to recite lines from a script to dislike Bilbo – because I sure didn't feel that he disliked him at all, sans that he had to.
Except I feel it was more about the script and the directing than Richard Armitage's acting - he's a fan of the books, and I would've expected him to get Thorin right.

Just wait till parts 2 and 3, we may yet see all kinds of interesting interspecies affection.

I shouldn't really be reading this kind of stuff this late at night, though, because now I'm annoyed with PJ again.

I notice that you are the composer of the much-lauded Youtube Audiobook of The Lord of the Rings with film soundtrack.
Wait, that means I've reblogged your art on Tumblr! See, everybody here knows you some way or other.
