okay so I just saw the hobbit on demand and it was cool. between the hobbit and fellowship which one was more epic(I hate using that word but since these movies are based on quest..). which of the heroes in these movies faced more hardships. what did you like about your choice. discuss.

    i'm going with the hobbit. I like how they tied the hobbit in with fellowship in the beginning.with Bilbo's birthday and Frodo going off to meet Gandalf. I like the impressive visuals with the stone giants fight for example. I think the hobbit had more action. the escape from the goblins lair had the best action sequence imo.

    LOTR is going to end up being better because it will require less stretching of the source material. Three books --> Three movies >> One book -> Three movies.

    I still need to read the hobbit first before watching the movie, but even after I think The Fellowship will always better for me. It got me into the whole genre of fantasy and ? . I still don't agree with making three movies based on the hobbit though, they coulda just made a saga with The Silmarillion or the war of the last alliance.

    Bah. ROTK though had a very detailed description of the Last Alliance, I just wanna see a movie based on that. But I most likely won't so I need to leave this thread before I get my nerd on.

    I don't care if they are expanding it to three movies . just like the other trilogy this trilogy will release its sequels exactly in a years span of each other so we'll be seeing the next chapter the desolation of smaug in December 2013. I can't wait to see smaug.

    I was just recently forced to watch all these movies and i'm gonna say The Hobbit by a landslide. I quit halfway through The Two Towers, but TFOTR and Two Towers were two of the most boring, overrated, drawn out for no reason movie experiences i'd ever endured. I guess Return of the King makes it all worth it? But I didn't care enough to see it through. The Hobbit tho...that ? was dope!

    Your gonna despise the Return of the King if you think The Two Towers and TFOTR is long lol I think ROTK is the best but thats cause Gondors is the ? .
