a nice movie: EXPECTED

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2012)

I don't understand why there is so much negative review among critics. The movie is simply: very good entertainment. Yes, it is lighter and funnier than LOTR but it doesn't mean that it is worse. Characters are nicely done, the actor that plays Bilbo did a such a good job-believable and witty. Others are good as well. Each dwarf has its own trait and you can easily distinguish them. Gandalf is great, even better than in LOTR, by my humble opinion. Special effects are one step further, although I think there is too much of them. The only big problem is action scene with orcs in mines that is very confusing and fast. You feel like your head is spinning because of digital camera movement. Actually this would be my biggest minus. The story is told well and it is almost 100% by the book, which is very nice for die hard book fans. But I am sure that everybody in the theater who did not read the book enjoyed the whole movie.
All in all: Very good entertainment for kids and adults as well. Definitely worth seeing.
