Wow!!!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2012)

When I heard they were going to make 3 movies with this little book: "The Hobbit", which I read awhile back, I immediately thought corporate greed, that they should be ashamed and it was going to ruin the franchise. Furthermore, I was also concerned about hearing that Peter Jackson was going to take liberties with his version of this great Tolkien classic .
But after watching "The Hobbit", I would like to apologies for my assumptions that I made. Indeed, Mr. Jackson's attention to detail justifiably needs 3 movies...and he made a great classic even more epic, but yet, still remained true to Tolkien's vision.
Was this movie really almost 3 hours long? Seriously, I lost track of time, I couldn't take my eyes of the screen, I was that mesmerized. Visually, scene after scene, one word sums it up: beautiful. The acting: superb. The sounds/music: powerful, full of emotion.
This movie is so good that I am going to do something I never do, pay to watch it again at the theaters.
This movie is a must see.
