A Masterpiece. Tolkien would be proud once again.

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2012)

Going into the film, I was confident that this would be an excellent film, as I know Peter Jackson wouldn't air anything close to an average film. I had some doubts about the story line however, constantly hearing how it was too long. The Hobbit novel is only about the size of one of the Lord of the Rings parts, so I thought it would be very stretched across three films. This was certainly not the case, it is constant action, with extremely great dialogue with the odd laugh during some scenes. As everyone expected, the middle earth world is vast and extremely beautiful, and captured perfectly by Peter Jackson.
I feel that the trilogy is very well established with this first installment, even my 20 year old sister who would have much preferred being at Twilight, admitted how great the film was.
My final words are to encourage anyone, no matter who you are, to go see this film. 10/10 for me. Perfection. A year is going to be a long time, but I know it will already be worth it.
