The Honest Truth About the Hobbit

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2012)

If you are one of those people who are looking for another Lord of the Rings you will not find that in this movie. While it shares many of the same elements that the Lord of the Rings movies had it differs from it through tone. The Hobbit is a much less serious and dark than the Lord of the Rings was, so that constant intensity is not there. There are many intense scenes but they never quite get to the level that the Lord of the Rings had it at. Should you see the Hobbit? It is honestly a completely different experience than watching Lord of the Rings so if you like more intense dialogue and less of the action found in Lord of the Rings you will enjoy this movie. Last of all, I recommend not going to the 3D HFR (High Frame Rate) movie screening which I did as it puts strain on your eyes and just looks extremely odd.
