OK, well... no...

I'd consider it highly interesting that after all the reviews I just read the only image in my mind is that of a witness. A witness of rape to be precise. Unable to comprehend, embellishing the hellish experience and when asked about it completely in denial. Once upon a time... actually yesterday I went to see the Hobbit. I had to calm myself and trim any expectations I had whatsoever. In fact, I always do that before visiting the cinema, usually spares my the disappointment. Now what can I say about the Hobbit. Imaginge... a bar, that you're holding onto. Beneath you bubblingly hot lava. No need to worry, the bar is very high still. After the first hour however you feel the bar lowering itself through the magic of forced humor and ugly one liners. To bad the bar wont rise again, instead it keeps on getting lower and lower and you feel feel the sole of your shoe melting away and the heat is starting to make your own blood seethe and then, it's over. So the Hobbit doesn't go down completely. It's more the way I just described it. It is effect cinema. Mesmericingly beautiful visual effects and action scenes choreographed into perfection. But I could only wonder why, oh why didn't the creators just inserted a loud burp-sound whenever a character would speak. But screw my judgment. Make up your own mind about The Hobbit - An unexpected Journey.
