Horror's Greatest Hits
Kathleen asked this question about The Hobbit, or There and Back Again:
Who else here was disappointed in the hobbit movies? I thought there was too much CGI and it strayed to much from the book. Reply if you think so too! :)
Lorraine Ellis I love the Hobbit movies and I just did a re-read from 40 years ago, and love the book in equal measures.

I enjoy Jackson's additions to the book: humor, whimsy, snarky-ness and sweetness. And I feel that Thorin's two added scenes with Azog were just brilliant. That vendetta added depth to Thorin, rather than his sole desire being just gold and jewels. I must agree with others though about Radagast- that was a travesty.
I really thought I was a book purist; I was SO disgusted by the Game Of Thrones show, but I guess my literary devotion is flexible.(less)
