The first Hobbit movie

[steuard]

I saw The Hobbit a few days ago, and I enjoyed it. I started to write up some brief comments on the movie to post here, but they got a bit out of hand, so I've posted them on my Tolkien website instead. For those who are interested, have a look at my full review; comments are welcome!

Not to put words in Stu and prock's mouths, but in short, yes? In a beloved work with such a large number of heroes, it would be nice to have a little more diversity both so more folks could see some who felt a little more like themselves, and so everyone is exposed more to diversity amongst exemplary people (and related species). The lack on its own doesn't make the work *bad*; it's just a more-ideal-world wish.
