Stuff.co.nz Hobbit review

'At times, the story could maybe have been told a tad faster, but we're talking Peter Jackson here,' says Jule Scherer. “Compared to LOTR, which tells of an epic fight of good and evil, The Hobbit is more light-hearted with many laugh-out-loud moments, but still delivers gory and glorious battle-scenes.”

Our reaction: Good news – hopefully not just a Kiwi going easy on her countryman.
