Peter Jackson did it again!!!

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2012)

I watched The Hobbit at a premiere screening here in Malaysia. Although I did not get to watch it in the HFR(48fps) version, but I manage to watch it in IMAX 3D.
Now, this is a movie where people from all around the world had been waiting for a very long time. Many were mad when Peter Jackson is not directing it. But luckily, he step in to direct it when Guillermo del Toro step down.
Peter Jackson is no doubt one of the best filmmaker of all time. I'm really a big fan of him and I'm proud to say that I've watched almost all of his movies like The Lovely Bones, King Kong, LOTR Trilogy, and even films he made during the early days like Bad Taste and Dead Alive. His LOTR Trilogy was THE BEST Trilogy I've ever seen!
In The Hobbit, Peter really did an amazing job! The 3D effects were stunning and the sound was just amazing! You really have to experience it yourself to know what I'm saying here! The Hobbit is also as epic as always! The fight scenes were fast and epic! The acting was superb! Gollum looks so real! And who would not mention the scenery when it comes to Peter Jackson's films??? The New Zealand scenery is just out of this world! Just like the LOTR, Peter filmed The Hobbit in New Zealand where the scenery is just breathtaking. The scenery would just make you want to pay NZ a visit! There was also flash back stories for those who have not read the book to make you understand the movie better! I could go on and on but there's just too much to be listed here. You have to go see it for yourself!
But, there is one minor problem... It was too long.
The Hobbit was 2 hrs 49 mins long. That is a long movie. There were some scenes which I Think is not really necessary. So make sure you were ready before sitting down in the cinema for 2 hours watching it!
The conclusion is The Hobbit is a MUST WATCH for LOTR fans as well as Peter Jackson fans (like me). You will be drawn to its beautiful scenery as well as its epic battle scenes.
After watching the first part of The Hobbit trilogy, I was so glad middle-earth was back and know that there's more to come. I have no doubt at all that this trilogy will be the next epic trilogy after LOTR.
