It’s been nine years since our last visit to Middle-earth, and yet it feels like we’ve hardly been away at all. Lord of the Rings was the cinematic event of the early Noughties, leaving an indelible mark on many a youngster and inner youngster. At the time, having just come off one of the riskiest and most gruelling shoots of his life, director Peter Jackson swore he’d never adapt The Hobbit, Tolkien’s original and much shorter, simpler foray into Middle-earth. Indeed, he only took the reins on this film after production delays led to Guillermo del Toro having to …
