Indeed. Although The Hobbit was intended for very young readers, I think, and don't quote me on this, that as The Lord of the Ring developed it grew with readership of The Hobbit, so to speak.
What film did you watch last night?

That makes a lot of sense. I think this is the problem with aiming at the films at the larger audience; people who haven't read any of the books and more than likely aren't going to. Because LotR films came first, people expect more of the same with The Hobbit; the same gritty tone. Ideally PJ should have made The Hobbit first, but he had a hard time selling LotR, so I don't know if The Hobbit would have been an even harder sell. Having said that; maybe if they had been made the other way round, people would expect the same lighter tone with LotR then complain it was too dark for their kids.

Jack the Giant slayer, saw this last night in 3D with the missus...enjoyed it immensely and even the missus liked it a lot. Lots of CGI effects but then what do you expect from a fantasy type of movie.
Like i said not a bad movie at all, quite enjoyable 8/10 for me.

Just finished watching Children of Men. Forgot the powerful image it portrays.

Watched Pontypool the other night. Second time I've seen it and really enjoyed it again. Quite an unusual story. 7/10.

It's been a while since I watched this. It's a target of mine to watch it during my two weeks off work.

End of watch. Not bad but not great. Predictable ending for the wrong reasons. Shows police in a more human way though. Not a faceless force of goodness or good cop/bad cop but just as normal people doing a police job.

Liked the idea of that film, but the execution was horrible. I found it barely watchable.
Shame as I really loved his previous two films Wicker Park and Lucky Number Slevin.
the mist
was enjoyable and was nice to see some of the walking dead cast, although the ending was rather weird/crap I thought
6.5/10
saw this movie quite awhile ago - I really liked it also - the ending was your typical steven king ending (he was the one whom wrote this).
I remember listening to the audio tape back when I was a kid and was really scary.
6.8/10

Killing Them Softly, really not very good, slow, plot didn't do much.

Django Unchained
Quite enjoyed this as I normally like Tarantino films, it got better as the pace built up later on. Good cast and overall a good flick.

Wreck it Ralph
Really quite a good movie with lots of game references and characters making an appearance
