Just perfect...
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Unfortunately, The Hobbit did not know what it wanted to be. It jumped between being the fun adventure that the book is to being a dark brooding setup for the LOTR trilogy. Far too many extraneous side stories found their way into this overly long and bloated children's story. The film should have been cut down to one 3 hour or, at the most, two 2 hour movies. Filling up some extra minutes with some Middle Earth backround information was ok, but a lot of extra junk that was unnecessary was thrown into this trilogy and especially into the Desolation of Snaug. In all honestly the best parts of these films were the stuff that was taken directly out of the book.
What I liked 1. The song at the shire house 2. Gandalf and Bilbo's performance 3. The scene at Rivendell What I didn't like 1. Set up for future movies 2. The goblin king 3. Most of the dwarfs weren't that interesting This is not a bad movie. It is a lot better than any of the sequels, but it is still far short of the main trilogy
peter Jackson directed this even though gullimore del toro was meant so peter gave his magic to this big budget masterpiece from the books of the same name this was set before the lord of the rings I saw this in the cinema in 3d it was breath taking with a budget of 250 million I can see why this follows Bilbo bag-gins who along with Gandalf and 13 dwarfs led by thorin oaken shield is wept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost dwarf kingdom of erbor from the fearsome dragon smaug their journey will take them into the wild through treacherous lands inhabited by goblins orcs deadly war-gs the highlight here is under the mountain were there being chased by goblins in 3d with wooden bridges falling down hobbits fighting surfing wood down a rock side and Bilbo having a answer and question game with Gollum one of the highlights of the movie. there is another creature here necromancer along the way the dwarfs re led to riven dale a beautiful place were Elrond gives advice to Gandalf stunning place in 3d with waterfalls the Bilbo bag-gins not only discovers depths of ingenuity and courage that surprise even himself he also gains possession of a precious ring tied to all middle earth in ways he cannot imagine. we see they have to go the lonely mountain on their journey with a dragon in their way I gave this 9/10 brilliant film to start the new trilogy.
A story line from a book always makes a good movie. Like LOTR this trilogy tops the fantasy genre like no other movies can. I imagine how difficult will be to explain to my children what a quality cinema looked like and how they'll argue with me about that. I believe this trilogy is one of the last that count as "cinema"
