It's alright

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2012)

As a children's film about a fantasy adventure this is alright. Don't go in expecting this to be as spectacular as the Lord of the Rings trilogy or you will definitely be disappointed. for the most part this is a decent, but the antagonist is definitely not as strong, but why should it be? The Hobbit was actually written before the Lord of the Rings was, and I genuinely find it interesting just how much of it connects to the Lord of the Rings. the true problems come from over the top comedy which really has no place in any fantasy story we are supposed to take seriously, but I suppose since the original book The Hobbit was written for children, the movie was probably trying to just be more child friendly. so its decent enough movie.
but I do have one huge peeve that drives me nuts. how could you take a book 300 pages long and make three movies out of it as long as a 1200 page long book?
