The Hobbit

Lucky me saw The Hobbit in Singapore a few days ago. Beats me in this day and age why Australia has to wait. The Hobbit hasn't the depth of LotRs but of course it is a children's book. I guess given that so much is similar to LotRs, you expect the pathos to be similar. It is a very enjoyable film but it is a shame it wasn't made before LotRs. It has the same problem as StarWars in that we know Anarkin Skywalker goes bad. In The Hobbit, we know Saruman goes bad later. Still, all fantasy writers like me are thrilled when fantasy is made into terrific films. We all dream of seeing our own characters on the big screen.
