I remember a quote from IMDB saying Peter Jackson directing 2 films based on one of the world's most popular books, a prequel to the most successful franchise in the world (based on the world's second most popular book after the Bible) with the biggest movie budget ever will make people's expectations rise to unrealistic proportions. While in my situation this is not the case (all films have their flaws) I DO have unfathomably high expectations of Howard Shore's score and here's why... Howard did a wonderful job with Lord of the Rings. A score that he himself regards as his masterpiece. While writing the music for Lord of the Rings he was already thinking about The Hobbit and has continued to think about The Hobbit for the last 11 years while performing the Lord of the Rings score at his live shows. The Hobbit will allow him to re-visit, expand upon and perfect a masterpiece, a chance that artists very rarely get the chance to do. I'm sure I'm setting myself up for a big disappointment, but there's still a chance that this will be the single best score ever made for a film and as long as that chance exists I'm going to keep enthusiastic!
