Don't Listen to the Critics!!

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2012)

Hi, this is my first review but i must speak out from the appalling reviews i have heard from many sources, and put them to rest.
first of, i am a avid Tolkien fan, and i have watched The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on 2nd day of its release, and i have to tell you all......it was absolutely amazing! so much fun watching, so easy to get in to as well but i must point out that i watched it in 2D and in 24fps.
from what i have heard from such critics as the ones interviewed on the BBC show "The Review Show", those critics have no idea what they are saying regarding the duration of the Hobbit, because it isn't slow moving and the characters don't look like children's cartoon!
Now, onto the actual review:
1: the duration of 169 minutes is not slow at all and is not at all boring!
2: the acting is pretty astonishing, especially from Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Sir Ian Mckellen and the rest of the cast, if any of the cast from the film are reading this..good show :)
3: the story blends in to the novel quite well, apart from a few situations but they aren't significant really.
4: the humour is very funny at times, and isn't cheesy as i would have thought it would
5: the action was awesome! a few over the top scenes with the Dwarfs in the goblin town but they were still awesome :)
now, i have read a few things on IMDb posts regarding some shots not in the film, the Gandalf shots are in the trailer are from the second film i think because that trailer was released when there were only two films being released.. "POTENTIAL SPOILER" the shots of Gandalf fighting in Dol Guldur are in the second film because Gandalf was never near Dol Guldur in the first film :)
and one last thing... the whole controversial thing about 48fps is risky, but it could be worth it.. after all it isn't about what the film looks like, its about what the film's like :)
Well done on Sir Peter Jackson, and all of the people involved in this film, and cant wait for the Desolation of Smaug!!
