Here we go again

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2013)

I have just returned from my seven o'clock showing of this fantastic film in dazzling 48 fps in 3D. This film successfully manages to turn a fairly short children's book in whats going to be a epic trilogy. This is no better than TLOTR but no worse either. It gets into the action fairly quickly. And keeps the story solid. I don't normally say this but the critics are very wrong this time. This film should not be faulted for its humour or light touch because thats what the Hobbit is about. Its supposed to be more light hearted than TLOTR. But doesn't seem it. However the goblins and orcs are done very well it almost looks like they have made them look slightly less scary and frightening. This might just be me, but its very well done if it is. All the characters are accurate and well portrayed. For me the 48 fps and 3D kind jumped at me all at once and in some of the action scenes looked slightly too busy. But other than that, the best picture I have ever scene on screen.
This may seem strange but I have only just actually taken to Peter Jackson's epics. But now I am in love with middle earth. I would easily rate this film a 9 but because of Bilbos sake a 10. Enjoy!
