Excellent! Amazing! Glorious!

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2013)

The most highly anticipated film of the year for me was "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey." Everyone in the film crew brought this amazing story to life on film. Being a person who completely enjoys the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", I can convey that the quality of work that was displayed and executed in LOTR is not only brought on the set of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", but also gives more refinement to the term "fantasy" as it relates to the expectations of this genre.
The cinematography is absolutely superb in acquiring all of the angles, camera movement, and depth of field in each scene. The sound and sound effects truly bring us into a fantasy world that is being portrayed in each scene. The lighting design gives us a sense of mystery, excitement, terror, anxiety and wanting more. The overall vision of the film that was directed by Peter Jackson completes the entire film to its glory. The ending of the movie brought on a sense of desire to watch the next installment to "The Hobbit".
As a supporter of Peter Jackson, I can only anticipate "The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug" to be equally as great as the first!
