Good and Bad

Rating: 6/10 (28 January 2013)

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is a three hour 12a/PG-13 Rated Movie based on Part 1 of the classic novel. I had never seen a Lord of The Rings movie before, so I went in very much with an open mind. The fact the book was 300 pages and is split into THREE PARTS, was just an opportunity to drag a film out. And did it? Oh Yes, yes it did. The thing that annoyed me was that, there isn't much progression between the start and the end of the film and the so called journey doesn't begin until a good HOUR into the film. This film was so hyped up and it failed to live up to its name, but there are some good bits. Bilbo and Gandolph were casted perfectly and Peter Jackson's special effects never disappoint.It also had some cool battle scenes which I loved. I don't want to give anything away so I'll leave it there. Go in with an open mind and if your a Lord of the Rings fan just accept it for what it is.
