It's a good "hollywood" movie - but it's not the hobbit

Rating: 5/10 (21 December 2012)

I want to start by saying that it is a good movie. It's funny, full of adventure. But if you are, like I am, a fan of Tolkien, and that you expect to see The hobbit, you might be as disappointed as I am. I don't really know if it's due to a need to appeal to the most people, or if it's due to a need of making 3 movies instead of 1 or 2 (because let's be honest, it would have been enough for the book. It's not that long compare to the lotr books, which was made into 1 movie each), but they complete write entirely scenes that never happens in the book, or any other books of Tolkien to my knowledge. They created a bad guy. They created "connexion" to the lotr story that didn't need to be made. And they screwed up some really important scene. To sum up, It's a good movie, but it's not the hobbit.
