On his Facebook page Jesse Tinsley wrote of seeing The Hobbit. Actually, he wrote that walk through the mall will cure your Christmas spirit because he'd been at the mall to see the movie. Here's his Hobbit review:

"Movie started slow and was long. But soon orcs were killing with wild abandon. Spectacular CGI but the story was a little circuitous. Meh"

For those who've seen the movie, agree or disagree?
