It isn't funny for me to watch that over again – two orc heads at once – I was just flabbergasted at that,' Glyer said.

She argued that the sections of Tolkien's story that this film covers featured almost no orcs, and that the carnage of orc death marred the film substantially. 'There are so many orcs in this film – I really got tired of watching them die,' she exclaimed. Glyer argued that Tolkien would have rejected the excessive violence in the film, just as she finds it distasteful. 'You're taking a story about a quest and turning it into a war epic.' Tolkien as Writers in Community explains the relationships behind the authors of Narnia and Middle Earth, drew a clear line between Jackson's films and Tolkien's children's book.

Glyer, whose book The Company They Keep: C. Richards praised both book and movie as 'a pre-evangelistic opportunity for Christians – dignifying Christian themes in a way that reaches out to secular people.' He also emphasized that the new films give Christians a chance to discuss these themes in the public square, to press for free trade in politics.

'The Hobbit' is a tale about restoring the golden age of Erebor, Richards explained, which involved 'a system of trade between elves and humans and the dwarves – benevolent, benign trade between three different species.' Richards argued that Tolkien's Christian values have been 'sown into the story itself,' even in Peter Jackson's adaptation. His forthcoming book with co-author Jonathan Witt, The Hobbit Party, engages Tolkien's political and economic ideas, as expressed in 'The Hobbit.'

'Later in life, Tolkien looked back to try to enrich 'The Hobbit,' and that's what Peter Jackson is doing in a cinematic context,' Richards argued. Jay Richards, distinguished fellow at the Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics, agreed.
