Like LOTR but more for the young ones

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2013)

Great movie. Very well done special effects and the 48 fps made the movie so very easy to watch in 3D. I am a guy who is anti-3D but it worked in this movie. Even though it worked in this movie didn't mean that it was great. In fact I will be seeing the sequels, the two upcoming Hobbit movies in 2D because that is the only way to watch movie. 3D technology just isn't there yet and maybe it will never get there. Anyway. If you liked LOTRs you'll like this. We get to see middle earth and all that fun stuff. I wasn't a fan of the trolls in this movie. They were just silly. I currently have the ranking of this movie at 8/10 but because of the troll I will have to bring it down to 7/10. Let me do that now. There we go. They trolls got a little too clowny for my taste. And the singing of the Hobbits was a bit much but forgivable. Martin Freeman was awesome. He did a great job and I believe maybe the best hobbit I've seen on film. I didn't really care for the hobbits in LOTRs but Martin Freeman was outstanding. I wish he played a hobbit in LOTRs. Just because of Martin Freeman I am going to change my ranking of this movie back to 8 out of 10 stars. Let me do that now.
