Unwittingly misunderstood by critics

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2012)

Unwittingly misunderstood by critics as a a book directed towards a slightly younger audience. The hobbit captures the stunning light hearted story telling of this phase of Tolkiens world. Bringing its passionate messages to the big screen.
Courage, Helping your friends and loyalty are just a few of the messages that present themselves and are done justice by the film.
Whats more the characterisation is absolutely stunning. Gollum steals the show but familiar characters like Saruman, lady Galadriel and Lord Elrond gave me the nostalgia i was desiring more so than Bilbo or Frodo.
This film has inspired me to think of more mature tales that should be told to children to make meaningful messages more interesting. I think that Tolkien felt this way, as should other aspiring educators and writers.
The faults of the film are not worth mentioning, as they are written on the parchment of the hobbit its self, and although they may be short comings, they make the narrative that much more enjoyable!
All and all it was an amazing film that a lot of critics clearly just didn't understand. Which is a real shame for them. I can't wait for the next one!
