Jackson is back. Not so magical and epic as "Fellowship of the Ring", but still amazing.

Rating: 8/10 (9 January 2013)

"Lord of the Rings" in 2001-2003 brought to the creators 17 Oscars and the international recognition for Peter Jackson – until now he is called one of the best directors nowadays. Even now the trilogy remains as one of the most profitable and known as one of the best in history. So it's not surprising that even with all the difficulties and delays, the same team started to work with "The Hobbit" and bring it to the screens.
In the beginning of the film first is seen 48 frames per second shooting difference. The view moves faster than usual, looks brighter and decorations, you can see that it's like a fake. However, it attracted attention just in the first minutes and when the film progresses, it doesn't make negative emotions, while the movement of the action scenes can be compared to a video game. By the way, the quality of 3D was really good, eyes didn't hurt after the end and during the film.
The first 45 minutes although slow, but really did not bored, it is interesting to see the new characters. I haven't read the book so the whole story is not known for me. Well, the remaining time gives enough action, spectacular natural images, visual effects and music. You know that it's the same world as the "Lord of the Rings".
Perhaps the dwarfs will get more attention in the sequels, because after the film it's hard to remember them. Only the leader stays in memory, while others, except maybe 2-3, doesn't. On the other hand it would be quite difficult to remember 13 characters, especially with similar names. Freeman is perfectly as Bilbo. He's comical, good heart, devoted to fellows character. We need to wait until the end of the film to see Gollum, but the game between him and Bilbo is one of the best places in the film.
It was a good film, but lacked the magical atmosphere, wasn't so epic. Also the characters doesn't attract so much attention, you don't feel together, there wasn't so much emotions as was with the fellowship of the ring. Now, it's more like a single film, the less serious than "Lord of the Rings". So, waiting for another parts to look and rate all three films.
