I’m going to divide this into parts to make it hopefully less rambly. Our official title for this pseudo-review is “What the 1977 Hobbit Movie Got Right." Critics have given this movie a lot of rough treatment over the years, and while I would be a liar if I said it was flawless, I think it’s a lot better than it is sometimes given credit for. And as I love to gush about the good qualities of works of fiction - particularly works that are generally written off as being "lame” - I think I am uniquely suited to give it a bit of good press in this trying time.
It’s gonna take a while, so I’m throwing in a cut here. Read on at your peril!
