Lords of Kobol, hear my prayer...

Ohhhhh my god I hear you. Not only am I madly smitten with Thorin, I'm also so sailing the S.S. Bagginshield. I can't even help it. Like, honestly, I've been reading this book over and over since I was ten, and I so did not expect to come out of the movie with a shiny new pairing. Whoops. :D

But yeah. I thought it was phenomenal. Some of the scenes, my god - it was like Peter Jackson and company reached right in my brain and took out the images there. It was like watching the book onscreen. The singing at the beginning, and the riddle scene with Gollum, and just... guh. The music, the acting (Martin Freeman = ♥, Ian McKellan was fantastic, as always, and Andy Serkis deserves a freaking medal), the characters, the music, the scenery... I'm just the happiest Tolkien nerd ever right now.
