Everything that i expected it to be, and more!

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2012)

The internet is filled with negative reviews about hobbit and how Peter Jackson took it a bit too far when he decided to split the book into 3 feature length movies. I read some of those reviews and in the back of my head i did prepare myself for disappointment but still on the surface i just couldn't come to terms with The Hobbit not being a spectacle! I mean it was peter Jackson and the hobbit, how could it go wrong! And let me tell you it didn't! Ignore all the negative reviews, set aside any doubts. I cant find one reason as to why they exist in the first place. People either have lost the patience to appreciate 3 hour movies or they just don't get what peter and co were trying to accomplish here. The movie flew me by and not once it was a drag. Instead it was just an indescribable treat to revisit some familiar places and faces. On top of that discovering new aspects of the world Tolken called Middle Earth. The movie has plenty substance to be able to justify its length and what it succeeds at doing is creating a link, a bond between all the new characters. This is similar to what i felt when i watched the LOTR series. The movie mixed great graphics, story, action, acting with a loving touch of character development to end up being another glittering jewel in the LOTR saga. Those of you who enjoy LOTR for its detail, setting and story can expect to have a great time. But if you are here looking for meaningless action, special effects, kabooms, let me warn you, you're watching the wrong movie.
