Should have been 2 movies and filmed realistically

Rating: 7/10 (7 January 2013)

Loving the books and LOTR films Peter Jackson made, the Hobbit was a big disappointment.
Negatives:
1. They should have kept Hobbit in 2 movies (Jackson struggles to find ideas for 3 movies. I don't know who made the decision but it felt like the wrong one). 2. The movie feels like a cartoon or a computer game. 3. Action scenes were way too long and meaningless. They felt like a hack'n slash computer game where the characters are not in any danger at all (especially in the Goblin cave). Thorin receives a mace on his face, yet there are no bruises on his face (I know the big audience are children as well but we saw some heads flying too) 4. Jackson could have concentrated more on Radagast, a very interesting and easy-to-like character, and of the course the Dragon 5. 3D technology could have been better exploited especially in the mountain scene, dragon scene and fight scenes (arrows flying)
Positives:
1. Brilliant acting (Bilbo, Radagast, Gollum, Galadriel, Elrond)
Overall, I enjoyed the movie but unlike LOTR movies I would not necessarily watch it again
