Spectacular

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2012)

What a Spectacular movie! I never thought anyone, even Peter Jackson, could beat the class of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Well, The Hobbit is well on its way!
I watched the movie in 3D and though it doesn't have that great 3D effects, the overall product is a masterpiece. The graphics and soundtrack are at par with LOTR and I wouldn't be surprised if Peter Jackson wins a new set of Oscars for these.
For those of you who don't yet know, the movie is a prequel to the LOTR trilogy. It begins with the story of Bilbo Baggins and has many scenes which you will remember from LOTR. The connection between the two franchises is superb. The movie is a little more light hearted at places which is great and it manages to make you smile and even laugh at many instances. The action is awesome and you can easily compare it with LOTR - in short, the movie feels very familiar and yet very original.
9.5/10. Waiting for Part-2.
