Alan's Review

I have been waiting for this movie all year .  The first one was fantastic in that both actors and crews did a wonderful job bringing this book to the big screen.  What ususally happen is the first movies is the great and then the following movies are so so, not this one.  I believe this was better than the first.  Well worth the cost of a the ticket and popcorn.  You will not be disappointed by this film.  This a great movie to take the kids to and all members of the family will have a great time.  I give this one a 4 out of 5.

Bubba's Review

Yeehaa, I took the youngins to see this and boy it was better than this years county fair, even the eatin contest.  My youngest boy now instead of wanting to be one of those Jedi's, now wants to be one of them hobbit's which we are thankful fer since the hair that is growing on his feet actually may make that possible.    So I am going to give this a 5 porkskins out of 5 cause it was so good.
