Better than expected

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2013)

I went to see the Hobbit last night, I walked into the cinema afraid that the film wouldn't be very good, at least compared with The Lord of the Rings. I was very wrong. This was without a doubt the best movie I have seen in a long time. The Hobbit was action packed but still it got you to laugh a couple of times. The new characters, the dwarfs were a lot better than I had expected and unlike many others I wasn't bothered by the excellent video quality, I don't know what all the fuss was about. Personally I thought it was way better than The Fellowship of the Ring and given that the Lord of the Rings movies got better and better I can't wait for the Desolation of Smaug. Hats off for Peter Jackson who may have just directed the beginning of the best movie trilogy of all time.
