What is a Bagginses? .. Precious?

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2013)

The fact that this movie took almost 3 hours of my life and I didn't even flinch while watching it, multiplied by 4 (times watching it) .. says a lot.
Yes, I love the book, but I don't see any purpose comparing it with the movie. Movie is a whole another instrument of expression and director of this version of the Hobbit did a fine work (his impression and expression).
Pace of drama, action, comedy elements are done very well. Actors did a very good performances of their roles. 'Riddles in the Dark' chapter where Bilbo and Gollum have their encounter with each other is historical moment of human actor and CGI (human) actor where for the first time you can see the emotions on Gollum's face (and the Oscar goes to ...).
Sound and music are also very good - exiting the theater I was humming the main theme song. Director uses sound good for better immersion in the story, but there is some space for improvement. Overall, movie that will resist the test of time for years to come.
