CGI kills it

Rating: 5/10 (22 December 2012)

This movie lasts 169 minutes. About half of this time is wasted for some annoying computer generated 3D images. 10 or 20 minutes more are left for stunning views of mountains. Which I actually liked a lot. And the rest is beautiful.
The first thing one should understand this movie is not a rendition of the book ¨Hobbit¨. It is a kind of prequel to Lord of the Rings trilogy made by Peter Jackson that is loosely based on the book.
And this prequel is just great. All the key moments are made to the greatest standards. My only rant is about tree-hanging scene which suffer from the same ailment as the rest of the movie - it is made to last way too long.
And this brings me back to my vote. I vote 5 since only half of this movie worth watching. And it is better by far to watch it home where you can skip this irrelevant CGI.
