Excellent movie!

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2013)

Hobbit: Unexpected Journey
1.Special computer effects: marvelous. Weren't too obvious and fitted the movie perfectly. Great work on animating riders mounting computer-designed animals. 2.Other special effects: very good work on making main characters seem shorter than they are in real life - dwarfs and hobbits were definitely smaller than elves. 3.Music: Fitted very well, one of the best movie soundtracks ever. 4.Plot: according to original book and adding some themes from other works of Tolkien 5.Prologue: not too long, clear for those who did not read the book. 6.Ending: too sudden. Only bad part of the film. 7.Characters: good actors, good makeup and costumes. Excellent dialogues. 8.Our personal opinions: -you shouldn't expect a LOTR prequel -you can be a bit disappointed with Dol Guldur theme (which will reappear in second movie but in this one was not clearly explained) -you can be a bit disappointed with "Riddles in the Dark" -you can laugh your a** while watching this film, it's really brilliant!
