We knew the reviews had said it was too long and so we decided to buy some cold drinks in the foyer. At £3 a time we decided we wouldn't be doing that again. Thankfully the tickets were purchased though our Tesco points so it felt like it was free.</span>

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #0000ff; font-size: 16px;">So on to the film... The Hobbit story is beautifully shot and the fantasy is brought to life with excellent acting, great CGI effects and wonderful scenery in New Zealand. Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins was made for the part and his dynamic with the dwarves was brilliant. The issues of trust between Bilbo and the rest of the company was a constant thread until the very end. The meaning behind someone willing to give their own life to enable someone else to restore their own home transcends the ages, it even transcends fact and fiction.</span>

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #0000ff; font-size: 16px;">We enjoyed every moment, even the fights that ran fast and rumbustiously across the screen with a myriad of creatures all carefully sculpted on screen. We look forward to the next episode.</span>
