Fantastic movie in every way!

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2012)

This is the first review I write and it's for this movie. That means something...
I've read some other reviews first and I just can't understand why some of them are completely against this movie. Some say that everything is bad and boring. I just can't believe that they actually know what they're talking about.
I write this review because everything was just so perfect. This movie held the pressure of the Lord of The Rings Trilogy and yet it rocked! The tone of the hobbit is indeed lighter than LOTR, which is obvious because the hobbit is originally a children's book. Peter Jackson also added some very good jokes here and there. Sometimes when you don't expect it, it happens. I liked that humor very much. It fits with the movie very well.
Many people had doubts when the hobbit became a trilogy. They thought it would be too stretched. Well, I can honestly say that this isn't the case. The pacing of the movie was very good and the time flew by. I never got bored at all. Jackson also added the side story of Gandalf which Tolkien released at the back of the return of the king. He also changed little things that were necessary for the film. I won't spoil it, so you'll just have to watch it for yourself. This is the reason why The Hobbit became a trilogy. It was a good decision. It gives more depth to the whole story, and it links to LOTR.
The visual aspect of the movie is just off the chain. The HFR is superb together with the 3D. The movie is very clear and it really feels like you're in middle-earth. I didn't get dizzy at all and it didn't look like an ordinary TV program as some critics said. You should definitely watch it in HFR 3D.
Last but not least. Martin Freeman and Richard Armitage were born for those roles. Martin plays Bilbo perfect. Out of 7billion people they chose the right guy. He's funny, emotional and heroic when he has to be. The same counts for Thorin. Richard played this character so well that I think many people will choose Thorin as their favorite character of Tolkiens world. Outstanding performances. The rest of the cast is also very good but these 2 were the standouts.
Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens, Fran Walsh, the cast and crew that brought this movie, THANK YOU8
Can't wait for part 2: The Desolation of Smaug.
