I read the book. I love the book. I love it more than the LOTR books.

I saw the movie. My mind was blown - in the best possible way. Jackson remains incredibly true to the book, changing only the slightest things in ways that make me think he and Tolkien are somehow communing in between worlds. Jackson also "adds" some stuff into the movie that isn't in the book, but it is canonical... It's a really excellent movie, that's all I can say. It does the book justice, it definitely does.

Just so you know he added two of the books combined. Jackson did both Silmarillion and the Hobbit to combine the two stories together. Hence why it will be three movies instead of one or two. That's why Radagast is in there and the Necromancer because they deal with "him" at the same time that the Hobbit is going on.

Oh I know. But I didn't bother mentioning Silmarillion because most people don't know about it.

Ah I see.. but it ties into the Ring as well... People need to start reading all of his books to understand the whole picture..... Even if the book is long.. and at times boring..
