If nothing else, The Hobbit trilogy stands as another opportunity to see favourite Tolkien characters in action, both in 3D and in High Frame Rate. In doing so, The Hobbit films not only continued the saga but also gave a new lease of life to The Lord Of The Rings movies, as they renew their stance in popular culture and their shelf life in HMV. So ask yourself something: how bad could it be after all? Not only is it an opportunity to see the same, much admired characters, but fans are also joining them in a profound journey, as they set out to overthrow Smaug and recoup their rightful home. There is a compelling narrative at the heart of The Hobbit trilogy that takes the audience on a ride like no other and that mustnt be taken for granted. Across all three parts, the story has followed this family there and back again and theres an infectious humanity here that pulls you in close. That right there is what makes this trilogy every bit as good as Rings, if not better.
