Oh, man. So ends my dream that The Hobbit may be any less mangled than the LotR.
When you think about it, the book and the movie adaptation are two separate art forms. And personally, I generally liked what PJ did. Not the dramatic peasant bits in Rohan and Gondor, nor the Leggy stunts, but the economy of characters and such can be, erm, forgivable. All in all, LotR isn't too bad. Not too faithful to the book, but it didn't disappoint me the way HP4 did--faithful to the book yet... in our language, minadali in order that it be too faithful (I can't translate it properly! Must work on English skills now).
