Very good but has a few mistakes

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2016)

A must watch, excellent scenes, wonderful sound effects and nice comedy. The diversity of the characters and the way they are portrayed by Peter Jackson is outstanding. The hobbit Bilbo, Gandalf the Grey Wizard, the dwarfs, their king Thorin Oakenshield, the 'creature' Gollum.... Thought there are differences compared to the book, the movie is wonderfully adapted.
The story starts with Gandalf and the dwarfs arriving at Bilbo's house and Gandalf choosing Bilbo as the 'burglar', the thirteenth member of the company. The story then plunges into the adventures of the company. And you can feel the adventure going through. But, I would say, the movie has some major mistakes. Starting with the introduction, it is unnecessarily long and boring at points. The dwarfs do not need to throw Bilbo's dishes around for minutes, and there is no need to keep on showing the filthy ways of dwarfs for another few minutes. The tricks that Bilbo uses on the trolls are quite amusing and comic too. However, these tricks can get you mad after a while because these people get saved at the last moment of every situation they fall into. Funny that they get away from the orcs, the trolls, and hundreds of goblins without so much a scratch, not to mention huge rocks crashing down on them. And there are childish things to add to them, rock giants fighting against each other is the limit. Its boring. But then it all changes when Bilbo falls inside Gollum's cave. The character Gollum is itself one of a creation. Kudos to the writer and the physical makers of the character. Not to mention the end of the movie where the to-be dwarf king Thorin is saved by Bilbo. Though they spoil it again up when Gandalf calls the eagles by sending a message through a butterfly. That's the edge of fantasy, seems to feel like a fairy tale. But this wont spoil it for you as thats not the real end. It matters that the heroes win.
The sound and videographic effects are excellent when the company is attacked by orcs on wargs. The landscapes are beautiful. And the best part of it is that the mood is light throughout the movie.
