part II) and it was awesome! Has anyone else seen it? How did ya'll like it?

You get excited AFTER watching a movie?

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of reading half of the book just
before I saw the movie, so it kinda ruined the experience for me since I
kept thinking to myself "That didn't happen in the book..." I'll have
to go back and see it a couple more times to wash the memory of the book
away so I can properly enjoy it. :)

Note to those who know the book: They changed it quite a bit in the
movie, so if you're overly concerned with them staying *absolutely* true
to the source material, you'll probably hate the movie...

Did any of you see The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings in it's cartoon
version?
Worth the watch:)

Well, having been seven years since I read the books, I don't remember much
of them. Actually, I spent the day watching the extended DVD version of the
Fellowship (yes, it was that long). The extended versions really bring out
a lot of things for people like me who either haven't read the books or have
forgotten them.

I remember playing the video game as well back in 1995 when it came out for
the Super NES - it was actually pretty good, but pathetic by today's
standards....

Can't say I've seen the cartoons though :)

From what I heard, the cartoon version of LotR was just plain awful,
both in adaptation and in animation, which is why I've avoided it like
the plague. The Hobbit, however, is a classic. :)

Note: The guy who voiced Gollum in the Hobbit (not sure if he did LotR
cartoon too) is the same guy who voices Gollum in the movies. He even
does the movements for him! :D

.....me precious:)

I loved the movie - i have never really been able to get too far into the
book for various reasons. I think the farthest i got was to Chapter 9 - A
Knife in the Dark...something like that.

Seeing the movie lit a new fire under me - i found my Hobbit book and am
reading that again, and afterwards i am trying on LotR again.

I seriously reccomend everyone to go and see this movie, its fantastic.
