WOW! Better than the book... loved it.

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2012)

The Hobbit, as a book, and as a story is a little weaker when compared to those of LOTR. But this movie for a change, outshines the book.... everything about this movie is awesome. The pace is perfect and gives us fan boys of the series, enough time to soak in LOTR nostalgia. The references are so very well placed too. For once, the critics who reviewed negatively do not matter. The scenes between Bilbo and Gollum are alone enough reason to give it a 10 rating. Add to that the ever wonderful background score, the amazing cinematography with stunning visuals, and some superlative performances by all the actors, this movie satiates everyone's thirst for middle earth adventure.
Watch it in anyway you wish to, it will still manage to surpass your expectations.
