Animated films? Singing hobbits? Oh, my. Though I suppose if you don't want to spend six years working on the project, that's the way to go...
I wanted to love the films, and I was kind of embarrassed that I didn't love the first one, though I did sit through the entire thing. I watched everyone on my FL go into raptures over it and wished I could join in the fun.
Most of the time, I dislike the kind of "epic" movies that take the moviegoing public by storm, but I really thought this one would be different for me. I do think it would have been more enjoyable if I'd read at least the first book and had a little more background on the whos and whys of the story. I like characters and character-driven stories, so there's really no way this would be a favorite of mine, I suppose.
