I went opining night to see the Hobbit at Rave Cinemas at Buckland Hills in Manchester Ct. I was very surprised to find that the theater was not pack at all and there was additional setting in the screen room. But I'm not here to talk about the theater I am here to tell you about the move. I have read some reviews about this movie on how it was a little bit more "juvenile" than the Lord of the Rings. All I have to say to that is the Hobbit is a kids book. I thought the way they portrayed a lot of the characters was amazing and worked well even if it was not apart of the book. I found the movie to be a little more darker than that Lord of the Rings like the amount of violence and death inserted into the movie. But the comedy that Peter Jackson added into the movie made up for the darkness. Yes the Orcs are hairy instead of slimy but they made it work! The movie at times made me sit at the edge of my chair and at times made me laugh hard enough to almost make me shed some tears. I would definitely recommend this movie to people from ages 12 and up!
