Go and Watch it for the Visuals

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2012)

To Start off, I'm a fantasy freak and a huge fan of Peter Jackson's movies. I went to this movie mainly to see what different did he do from TLOTR and i must admit the movie was amazing. The start is slow since the characters needs introduction and once the mission is revealed the movie takes off at an amazing pace. I watched this movie in Real 3D and not in HFR 3D, so i didn't get a chance to enjoy the 48fps visuals, but nevertheless the visuals were stunning. The movie is quite long, it runs for nearly 160mins, but you would never know how the time runs off. Bilbo Baggins portrayed by Martin Freeman has acted so naturally and steals the show. He brings in the humor element. His Journey along with the thirteen dwarfs forms the main plot of the movie. All thirteen dwarfs have equal importance, but Thorin stands out. Ian Mckellen has once again proved that he's the best. No one could have played Gandalf better than him.
The movie has amazing visuals and the graphics are excellent. Experience the movie in 3D. There are lot of new characters like goblins and wargs. Gollum is back and his encounter with Baggins is definitely one of the main highlights of the movie. There isn't lot of actions/stunts and the end is quite disappointing. But nevertheless, go and it as you will definitely enjoy this epic. Peter Jackson has done it again.
