The Hobbit

The hobbit is magical, long and full of detail. I was never really into the lord of the rings or the hobbit until i saw the movie.  Bilbo Baggins, the main character goes on a journey that every kid dreams of. Fighting middle earth and even the ascetics of the film are just so moving.  Every kid wants to go find treater and set of with dwarfs and magicians. I feel that after seeing the lord of the rings, i was kind of thrown off by the hobbit because of which came first.
The movie and book show how heroes are made along with fairy tales coming to life. Gandalf the greatest character is Bilbos protector considering he is yet a small hobbit.
The series lord of the rings and harry potter had the same effect on me, i was into the movies when they came out but didn't fantasize and read and watch them over and over again. The graphics in the movies were outstanding along with the acting and ascetics but I feel they had a time and then what was that. Everyone can agree that the shots are beautiful but there were many parts of the book that were left out for obvious reasons. Reclaiming the Lonely Mountain and saving the gold is always been a popular plot for young children. For example, even in pirate movies and older children films, kids latch on the a map that will find them treasure.
What i loved about the Hobbit, are all the fine details that build the characters backgrounds and really makes you think they were real. J.R.R. Tolkien took time to make the reader feel like there were times before the book was written where these characters were alive. It made me feel like i knew them more and really could picture their long beards and high beer bellies.
