I enjoyed this film

Rating: 8/10 (5 December 2013)

When I watch a Peter Jackson film, I tend to find them much better when in a theatre. The LOTR trilogy and King Kong were both great epic's. The large beautiful landscape, the massive battles with dinosaurs, giant bats and orcs riding overwhelmingly huge elephants. These are tails fit for the big screen. I watched The Hobbit in a theatre, and I felt the same. It had huge landscapes, and creatures that are only fit for fantasy, and, in certain scenes it delivered that powerful emotional dialogue, combined with an awe inspiring backdrop. That which we seen in Sam's speech on the side of mount doom in the Return of the King, and when Ann Darrow sleeps in Kongs hand while the sun sets over skull islands horizon. It seems to take all of the intense energy, and horrifying reality's, slows it down, and crafts it into a truly beautiful scene. I certainly felt this majestic feeling in some scenes of The Hobbit.
Truth be told, this is the perfect film for an 10 year old kid, it is much less dark then the Fellowship and is much more of a humorous, light hearted adventure tail, which is what The Hobbit is. Tolkien originally wrote this story for young readers, before he built it into the Lord of the Rings. Saying that, I do feel as though this film trilogy will darken,and become bigger then what is seen here. It kinda feels like how Harry Potter starts off, light with charm full character's, and then it matures, as do the characters.It will be interesting to see were Peter takes Tolkien's great story, as it always is.
