As a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings movies and an avid reader of the books of JRR Tolkien I had a bunch of mixed emotions tying tiny knots in my stomach when I sat down to watch the DVD of The Hobbit. For a myriad of reasons I missed the movie when it was in the cinema and held off watching the DVD version for as long as I could in fear of being disappointed. In the end I wasn't seriously disappointed but I was a little underwhelmed.
