Can work in more than one way - whole extra dimension of nostalgia brought on by seeing Sylvester McCoy back on screen.<br /><br />I will forgive the link-dropping just this once as I love your blog too ;) tell me more about the unofficial Bill Murray fan club - how do I sign up?Sci-Fi Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038987149801517138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450657908743578837.post-59327186371373536392014-03-01T20:30:08.155+00:002014-03-01T20:30:08.155+00:00Love your blog, I am such a sci-fi junkie so it...Love your blog, I am such a sci-fi junkie so it's always good to find others like me too :)<br /><br />I really loved this film, but I can't work out whether it's because it's so nostalgic for me because I loved the book so much while growing up. <br /><br />So far The Hobbit films have not captured the adventure, or excitement as the LOTR trilogy but I do think this second film was better so hopefully it's going in the right direction! <br /><br />Christie, www.inthereelworld.wordpress.com Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04522611233398362680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450657908743578837.post-6460602732388751102014-02-19T08:45:29.027+00:002014-02-19T08:45:29.027+00:00Yes - all in all I'm looking forward to part 3...Yes - all in all I'm looking forward to part 3. Tolkien was famously averse to any cinematic versions of his books, I doubt this would have changed his mind but you never know...

So realistic! I really felt like I was there. Unfortunately, sometimes feeling I was "there" meant feeling I was on the soundstage with them. I also like the infusion of a female character. Don't thing J.R.R. would have minded. In LOTR there were some great female characters. Kind of odd that he didn't have one in The Hobbit.Janenehttp://www.momsarefrommars.com/moms-blog.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450657908743578837.post-43290708527618843742014-02-14T01:05:44.864+00:002014-02-14T01:05:44.864+00:00Nice to read that someone else really liked it.
