I have seen Hobitit, I liked it very much. Tob Bom there is quite a unique take with his indigenous look, a different twist on the guardian of his land. But my favourite parts were surprisingly the Book IV equivalent, which is not my favourite to read.
I am yet to see the Soviet adaptation, though several people have sent it to me already. I will absolutely post impressions once I do! At first glance though, I think I get most dissonance from Galadriel and least dissonance from Bombadil. Making Frodo look a 50 year old bachelor is also something that I believe is unique to this take. This Gollum reminds me a lot of the Hobitit Gollum, which I suppose is just in the nature of what you can do without a green suit.
