Thorin’s hero back-story is marvellously fleshed out. Little wonder there’s already major buzz around Armitage - his Thorin is to The Hobbit what Viggo Mortensen’s Aragorn was to The Lord of the Rings.

Armitage is positively heroic in the role and Jackson gives him plenty of camera time to shine.
Thorin Oakenshield, however, is a Dwarf apart.
