And glad to have the voicing of my thoughts on the matter serve to express the notions of others as well. I too greatly enjoyed the slower pace of this film's first half. It allowed for more absorbtion of the wonders presented, though I think the slower pace was also well served by the more colourful, vibrant and more cheery atmosphere. Like yourself, I thought the tone was very much appropriate and different from LOTR in a good way. I have come to appreciate the changes made to the story and I might have the odd quibble here and there, but overall I am very happy with the movie, and are looking forward to the next two. In terms of pacing, the seriousness and briskness of the Fellowship can be kinda distracting, and I am happy with the pacing of the hobbit in this respect. "Hear me, hounds of Sauron, Gandalf is here! Fly if you value your foul skins, I will shrivel you from tail to snout if you step within this circle!" "Do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

Why, to my mind, An Unexpected Journey greatly adds to rather than detracts from LOTR's fim legacy.

Thror getting killed before the main battle is essential to understanding the war and the dwarves.

The tone of the prologue for AUJ is mixed, like the movie. And it does not go

Almost exactly. Point well made. Indeed, Galadriel tells us definitively that something HAS been lost
