A pretty good start, as long you watch in 24 fps

Rating: 8/10 (15 September 2019)

I was a wee lad when I saw Lord of the Rings. Both versions in fact, the Jackson films and the animated movie. I became a big fan so when I heard about a prequel, I got more than excited. I loved it the first time and while I still do, I can recognize its problems. First of all, you need to watch this in 24 fps. It's just a way better experience. All three movies also tend to use way more CGI than in LOTR, and while it looks pretty good, it is noticeable. There's also a character in here that might annoy you. Other than that, the movie is really enjoyable to watch. You have plenty of scenes where people are talking, but it's done really well. The action is exciting, the story is interesting, and the characters are very likable, especially Bilbo.
Overall, I'd give An Unexpected Journey an 8.0/10 (Great)
