My wife and kids wanna watch Lord of the Rings. They've all read the hobbit. I've read all the books numerous times, and seen all the movies except maybe 2nd Hobbitt.
Which movie should I start with? Fellowship or Hobbitt?
As I die hard Tolkien fan, a massive Wingnut films man, and someone who recently shared the world of Tolkien with my daughter....Just do the LOTR trilogy and if they all want more then do the hobbit.
Jackson made 1 3 hour movie per book of the LOTR trilogy yet decided to make a trilogy out of the Hobbit which is the simplest and least in depth of all the books.
The Hobbit moves too slowly and there is ALOT of "poetic License" with the story telling itself.
He took from other books to make Hobbit, so it wasn't all poetic license.
