Alkaline Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 That looks great It is a long time to wait though and then it's split in two parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Glad it's in two parts TBH.Part of me thinks "obvious cash-cow is obvious" but it'd kill the story to try to shoe-horn it all into one film.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gladstone Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I haven't read the book, but it looks like a fucking big book to try and get into one movie, so two parts is probably a good idea.Loved the LOTR movies, so looking forward to this.

Guest Gladstone Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yeah man!I have read many books, but not The Hobbit. I tried reading the LOTR books but to be honest, I thought they were shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I must admit, I've never even got that far. Enjoyed the films but they seem like a lot of qork, especially once you already know the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 The Hobbit is a waaay better book than Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings is total shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 read the hobbit many times as a child. probably better than LOTR. for starters I never managed to finish all three LOTRs and i'm not a slow reader or anything.

Alkaline Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 The Hobbit is a waaay better book than Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings is total shite.I draw the line at someone calling LOTR "shite". It's a difficult read in all honesty becuase there is so much to remember names and places-wise but it's still a fantastic read if you like fantasy novels. The Hobbit is a much easier read and the story is a quicker progression.Depends on what you like reading i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because it's a 'difficult' read though. I do think that The Hobbit is very good however, despite not being much of a fantasy fan.

Guest Gladstone Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Ah - right. I thought it was longer than that. 310 pages isn't long at all. I think I based that on seeing some kid at primary school reading it and thinking it looked like a massive book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that The Hobbit is very good however, despite not being much of a fantasy fan.I didn't mean difficult as in "you're a grade 1 reader and i'm grade bazillion na na na na na na!" more as in unrewarding at times.

Guest Gladstone Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I thought LOTR was a difficult read. It was the poems that got me - that's LOTR right? I got really fucking bored of the first story about half way through (if that). Not a fantasy fan at all though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I read LOTR years ago and recently tried reading them again. I think my mind had blanked out the pages and pages of elven poetry...Didn't even finish Fellowship in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I hated Fellowship for the first while but I eventually got totally sucked into it. I love the poetry and long prosaic passages about nothing at all.I read it more as a really, really fucking long poem with the story being almost incidental than it does as a traditional 'Novel'. It entirely depends what you're after when you read it. If you want an action-packed page-turner then it's not for you (the Hobbit, however, is). But if you want a really well-written, prosaic story which plunges you into every detail (from the mundane to the breath-taking) of it's fantasy realm, them the LOTR series is a must.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I enjoy reading, but I didn't enjoy LOTR. I didn't even finish the first chapter. I had seen the film and new about the party. But I was about 10 pages in and we still weren't there. Nothing had happened at all. I'm determined to have a crack at them all again some point. There's just other books I like more to read first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
