The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

I realise I'm somewhat late to the party on this one, but there wasn't quite enough buzz about the first Hobbit movie when it came out to persuade us it was worth the time and effort involved in getting to a cinema, so we only just saw it, courtesy of LoveiFilm.

I liked it and I liked McCoy (although, like you, I like him as the Doctor too). I even saw it in the cinema, which is rare for me! Martin Freeman was great too. It is far too long, though, although it seems to me that almost every film is too long these days (maybe that's just me).

TBH, we don't watch a lot of modern movies, the LoTR movies were long but I felt mostly justified their length. I think the last movie we saw in the cinema was Brave, but I suspect children's movies operate to different rules about length. We've recently watched most of the movies in the Marvel franchise, and I didn't feel they outstayed their welcome in the way The Hobbit did.
