good but...

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2013)

i liked this movie it has what you may want from a fantasy action drama but compared to the lord of the rings trilogy well sadly it fails,what really went wrong with the hobbit ?actually nothing there is nothing wrong with it but because it was made after the LOTR it will look weak .having said that the movie seems to have a few flaws of its own like the scene with the white council which was poorly acted especially Cate blanchets portrayal of galadriel was really annoying in LOTR she was beautiful good and powerful and yet a little frightening and not completely trustworthy but in this movie she just walks around a stone table making faces and tells everyone that something biiiiiiig is about to happen. the dwarfs are cool and fun to watch but unfortunately are not given enough time for character development this can be said about Bilbo as well since we don't get to know why he does what he does so hopefully in the next installment we get to know the characters better. ps: the scene with dwarfs running away from their burning city while elves only stand by and watch is very moving.
