Hugely OVERRATED

Rating: 7/10 (3 July 2013)

Hobbit Unexpected Journey is in my opinion an average movie. I just don't get it why people would consider it to be one of the greatest movie ever made. There are several reasons in mind:
1. Adapted from the novel written by the author who wrote LORs so this have to be a good movie 2. Directed by the director who directed LORs so this have to be a good movie 3. A lot of dummies who probably have only seen several movies of same genres and can not tell if a movie is good or bad so if someone thinks this is a good movie then this have to be a good movie
Do not get me wrong, I don't doubt the quality of Peter Jackson's work, it is simply that the book 'Hobbit' is not supposed to be made into a trilogy. The story 'Hobbit' is good if it could be done in 3 hours, but in 3 movies that add up to roughly 8-9 hours??? No! In 9 hours time you can probably have all the details in the book presented on the screen but as a movie that will be a failure guaranteed.
The most recent time I fell asleep in theaters was watching 'The Hobbit', ironically, I was a huge fan of LOR.
I would rate it as a decent movie, much worse than my expectation. And sometimes the audience's expectation really matters.
