To not agree to see The Hobbit until I've seen all three films of Lord of the Rings?

[lottie63]

Or am I completely confused over what comes first in the chronology of their storytelling?

YABU, you dont need to have seen the others to enjoy the Hobbit - go in 3D

The Hobbit comes before LOTR.

the hobbit comes before the 3 lord of the rings films so go and see the hobbit then watch the lord of the rings films

As above.

Technically, The Hobbit is the pre-history of LOTR. So you can see it first. Like that you'll understand a bit about how Bilbo came to have the ring. Even though you only have the first film of the Hobbit it fits perfectly before the LOTR trilogy.

Story telling The Hobbit comes before LOTR, The Hobbit is the story of Bilbo finding the Ring, LOTR is the story of his nephew Frodo's adventures with the Ring.

Actually the silmarillion comes first, but that's really really dull!

YABU for not having seen the LOTR films!

Thankyou all! Hv just booked 3D for Thursday with dd2 as a treat for her

look!

The Silmarillion isn't likely to be made into a film. Though I'm glad, in a way.

Agree it's helpful to have a little background, especially when they're discussing Beren and Luthien in LOTR.

YABVU.
