I am happy that we have the TH films because 1. Martin Freeman's Bilbo. Back when he was Arthur Dent, upon seeing Hitchhiker's Guide in the theater, I "called" it. He was my Bilbo, I declared. I am happy to find I was quite right about that. 2. Dwarves rock! Great to see them fleshed out, especially the ones who didn't get much focus in the books, like Bofur who is my favorite so far. 3 Gandalf's back--and lets himself get ragged on! I thought it was great how he's taken down a peg a couple of times at the beginning. Like when he coughts awkwardly when questioned about his Dragon-slaying credentials. ALso when Bilbo asks, tartly: "Is Radagast a great wizard? Or is he more like you?" I admired how Sir Ian played him as perfectly cool and unflappable about it, and totally humble. 4. Meeting Radagast and his critter buddies. Seeing Radagast as an effective wizard, when he's focused. 5. Seeing the White Council in "action" (by which I mean talking, but in a good way). 6. Finally being back "in" Middle-earth, and having 2 more "visits" to look forward to! 7. Enjoying the return trip to Middle-earth with others, and talking about it with others who enjoyed it, or even just to discuss it. 8. The soundtrack! Esp. the Mountain theme! Also blunt the knives! 9. Gollum's back! that whole scene was electrifying! 10. Being introduced to new settings in Middle-earth: Dale, Erebor, a new perspective on Rivendell, the Stone Giants' Pass, Goblin-town.
