Never saw any of The Lord of the Rings films - Saw The Hobbit - Liked it

Rating: 7/10 (14 December 2012)

I am not a big fan of The Lord of the Rings films simply because they are just way too long... I'm sure the films are great, but I tried watching the second one and I ended up falling asleep.
I went to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey because my best friend wanted to see it premiere night and as her best friend I came with her.
Initially I thought it would be long and boring, nothing interesting. However, I was corrected. The movie was very interesting to watch, the landscapes are beautiful, the characters are likable, and the dialogue (the screen writing) I thought was incredibly well done. There is a point in the film that I felt was a little boring (I don't want to spoil it so you'll see what I mean when you go watch it). However, the dull bits are saved by the amount of action that's put in the film, which I found very amusing. One bit in the film I felt was a waste of film time, it ties in with the dull bit, but again I won't say because you have to watch it.
So if you are a fan of the trilogy, then I say you will very much enjoy it. If you're not a big fan, prepare for a long long movie that might interest you, but might put you off because of the long talking dull bits.
It's a good movie.
