Abysmal

Rating: 1/10 (26 December 2012)

Although The Hobbit was by far my favorite childhood book, Peter Jackson managed to turn it into the worst movie that I have ever seen. The movie was devoted only to the journey to the mountain, which did not need to be dragged out for three hours; rereading that portion of the book would have been faster than watching the movie. The Hobbit is a relatively short book compared to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, so there was no reason to split it into three movies.
Jackson left out the heart of the book, and instead got lost in the scenery and action scenes. If you're the type of person who likes picture books, then you'll love this movie. However, if you can actually read and are familiar with the elements of a story, then you'll feel like much was missing from this movie.
