Today I went to see The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies. And I cried. Those who know me know that I never cry for movies. Never. This was the first time. It was a really good movie. I can see where many of the critics got their criticism, though. For example, they said that Bilbo really didn't do anything. And while, he did do a couple of important things, he wasn't the main focus. I mean, the whole thing is about a war. How much can a single person do in a war? Also, someone observed that it was just an endless slaughter. Someone fighting, getting knocked down, almost getting killed, then getting saved because someone came up behind them and killed their attacker. Yeah, that happened at least five to seven times, but somehow they made it mostly original almost every time. All the main-ish characters who died (don't worry. I'm not giving away any spoilers:) were all killed in the same way, though. They did a good job with the character development for the most part. The actors and actresses did a great job with conveying natural, believable emotions. Richard Armitage did a great job making Thorin Oakenshield believably going mad with greed. Anyone love the golden floor in the hall under the mountain? Remember the attempt to kill Smaug with the gold in The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. The connection was neat to see. Martin Freeman had such a funny quirk playing Bilbo and I loved his facial expressions. I loved Bard's relationship with his family. His love for his children. And I con't care if it wasn't in the book, I loved the romance between Tauriel and Kili. Tauriel: If this is love, I don't want it. Take it away, please! Why does it hurt so much? Anyone love that line? Okay, I've ranted enough. This is my opinion on the movie:)

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
