    Martin Freeman will always be the king of subtlety to me. His face does most of the acting and he's the only actor I experienced who can flawlessly hold a conversation with someone with just his face, not making a sound. It's a remarkable talent and I love him all the more for that.

      Hobbit would be a lot better if they focused more on the main characters and not pointless side quests like all this Gandalf quest to fight with Sauron, and Tauriel and Legolas. I think it would be better if Smaug was more mentioned and Bolg was a villian instead of Azog. And if Beorn had a bigger part of course. But they went with Radagast's character, Thorin&Azog backstory, Tauriel, Kili and Legolas love triangle and Thranduil hatred for dwarves. If they actually spent time on the characters maybe the goodbye scene from the Battle of the Five Armies wouldn't look so ridiculous.

I started watching it, loved Freeman's portrayal of Bilbo, and stopped what I was watching and went to An Unexpected Adventure, and binge watched the 3 movies in one day (Did the same for the Godfather movies LOL). From there I finally watched the LOTR movies last year after watching the 3 Hobbit movies.
      But my favorite will always be the Hobbit movies. All the actors did an awesome job, Ian McKellen across all 6 movies, of course, but Martin Freeman's portrayal of Bilbo is my most favorite part of the 6 movies. Freeman and Ian Holm make it completely believable that they are the same character, at different times in their life. Brilliant.
