great movie

Rating: 7/10 (24 March 2018)

First off in case you don't know lotr and hobbit are very different stories and shouldn't be compared . lotr is a darker story, about a hobbit that needs to destroyed an evil ring created by great evil. Meanwhile in the hobbit , a hobbit goes on an epic adventure with a bunch of dwarves and a wizard to kill a dragon and take back the dwarves' treasure. Everyone that's is comparing the genre of the hobbit to lotr needs to stop NOW! The hobbit is a kid book for goodness sake and lotr is aimed for older people.
Anyway let's get straight down to business. The movies had a great plot and amazing action scenes though had cgi problems.The movie was slow paced since it is the first movie of the trilogy and the first movie is always slow like star wars a new hope,lotr the fellowship of the ring and more.Adding characters like Radagast was pretty unnecessary,few scenes weren't that good but the Gollum scene was scaring and intense when he finds out that Bilbo stole his ring.The orcs look pretty meh... should had used real people dressing up as orcs.
the action scenes were just fantastic. the best action scene was when throin was fighting azog ,gave me goosebumps a little bit.great character development with Bilbo though It may not show much since it is just the beginning of the hobbit series and you don't want him a lot of character development too early or else that would make the movie a bit rushed. Plus how thorin in the beginning of the movie he doesn't trust Bilbo at all and thinks he worthless and in the end he admits he's wrong is pretty good character development. We also get know his backstory .
overall I give the hobbit a 7/10
would be higher it cgi hadn't been obvious

pros: amazing actions scene(most of them) meeting Bilbo baggins scene,great character development,
cons:cgi,unnecessary characters,awful scenes
