Why it truly was an unexpected journey

Rating: 5/10 (11 January 2013)

I am a fan of the Lord of The Rings Trilogy, they're truly magnificent and convey a almost real-life feel that reading the books gives you. However, the Hobbit failed to match up to the trilogy. It was unexpected considering the hype that it got, it fell almost flat on it's face. With the exception of a couple of scenes, and tremendous acting from Martin Freeman and Sir Ian McKellen the Hobbit was rather elongated. It seemed to go on forever and I feel that this was due to the fact that the book is a small book (in comparison to the Lord Of the Rings). Peter Jackson's attention to detail cost him dearly, the plot just seemed to fade out during the film. If you're a Lord of The Rings fan give it a try, but I was immensely disappointed with it.
