Middle Earth - The Final Goodbye

SPOILER ALERT: Please note that if you have not seen The Hobbit - The Battle of the Five Armies, this blog may contain a minor spoiler.

The last of The Hobbit movies  - The Battle of the Five Armies is showing in cinemas worldwide.  I dreaded going to watch it.   I wanted to...but I did not.  Maybe if you don't watch it, it won't be over.  As the soothing voice of Billy Boyd washed off the walls, I found myself glued to my seat, soft tears slowly slipping down my cheeks.

Is your tea cold?

When I watched the Hobbit from the legendary master JRR Tolkien, I was taken on a wonderful, amazing, wild ride. What a book, what a movie. With the amazing imagination of Tolkien, (although I fully believe that he was a traveller between parallel worlds, describing to his avid readers in amazing imagery, the worlds he had visited), combined with the mastery and passion of Peter Jackson, you are again taken away from the uncomplicated, ordinary life you lead.

It starts with the attack on poor Bilbo, by the possibility of adventure in his life. Would you take that step? Would you give up tea in front of the fire, would you give up reading of adventures in faraway places, to go on a breath taking journey, from which you could possibly not return? Would you?
