One of the best films ever made!

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2013)

I grew up to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and am a huge fan of the films as well as the books. When I heard that they were going to make the Hobbit into a film I was overwhelmed with excitement but questioned if it was going to live up to the standards of Lord of the Rings. However, when I heard that the Hobbit was going to be directed by Peter Jackson, I had complete faith in the films success. The fact that this film was going to be in 3D made it 10x more intriguing and exciting on the day my family and I decided to go and watch it in the cinema. I expected to get an amazing and fantastic film, just as good as Lord of the Rings and thats exactly what I got. One of my favourite things about this film is the fact that its an adventure, action and comedy film, and is not just one genre but multiple which attracts a vars variety of the public. I actually found the Hobbit to be a bit more humorous and not as serious as the Lord of the Rings trilogy which defiantly helped with the films success.
The special effects are marvelous. In fact, I think that this film should win an Oscar for the best special effects. There were so many different effects that were very dramatic and fascinating to watch. In some action films, the special effects and action can become too much and can subsequently bore the audience. However in this film, the special effects and action were very realistic and done to a perfect amount.
It is incredible how much work went into the film. I was so inlove and obsessed with this film that I went out of my way to watch the making of it. I was astounded of how much effort and time went into this film. Every little detail was vital for this films success. Middle Earth looked so realistic and as if it had once existed or does exist. The amount of work that went into building the different kingdoms and places of Middle Earth such as the Shire and Rivendale is astonishing. The landscapes and dramatic scenery on this film has also motivated me to fly to New Zealand. I especially want to visit the piece of land where the Shire was built because every detail was worked onto it to make it look the way it did in the film. Such as, they had to grow flowers and build solid cottages, as well as place the hobbits and farm animals there too.
I think Peter Jackson has proved that he is the best director to have ever lived. He has so much talent and determination. His love toward the books really inspired him to make the Hobbit into a masterpiece. He put so much effort into this and worked extremely hard. He inspires me to do and accomplish what I love. He put so much love and knowledge into this film to make it into probably the best film ever made (AS WELL AS LORD OF THE RINGS)!
Not to mention, the acting is brilliant as it was in Lord of the Rings despite some different and new characters such as the dwarfs. I think Martin Freeman did a fantastic job portraying Bilbo Baggins. As usual, Ian McKellen did a fantastic job as his role as Gandulf. And of course Andy Serkis was AMAZING as his role as Golemn and really knows how to portray his character and his voice. The dwarfs are also great and amusing characters. However for me, Peter Jackson did the best job from everyone working on this film because he showed dedication and determination and encouraged all the actors and actresses to perform how they did on the film.
Extremely well done, you have made me believe in Middle Earth once more!
