Fabulous film trilogy.

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2016)

First of all I'd like to say I didn't see any of the Hobbit films in the cinema. I've just recently sat down & watched all 3 on blu ray on my big TV. Secondly I was aware of all the mixed reviews they all got so I was expecting to be disappointed if I'm honest. Thirdly & most importantly I've never cared what others like, Its what I like that matters to me. That's why we have menus in restaurants.. we all have different tastes. A critics review in a paper is meaningless, its like a food critic saying Cumberland pie isn't good when millions like it. Fourthly now we have established criticism is a personal rant.. how can we tell how good a movie or series is. Money of course.. over 3 billion dollars the last I heard in cinema & DVD sales. Personally,I loved all 3 Hobbit films, I thought they were really fabulous. I'm not gonna sound like an art house nerd here dissecting every frame as if I were writing a doctoral thesis. I simply enjoyed each film, right from the start I could see how much love, thought & care went into each frame. The cinema photography was stunning..my big TV has never looked so handsome. Some of the finest scenes I have seen. The films were well balanced & had plenty drama & excitement in them, perfectly woven throughout. Yes it was not as enjoyable as the LOTR trilogy but there are not many films out there that are if you ask me. The LOTR book is a much better read than The Hobbit so in a way its fitting the films are the same. There was a much better musical score in the LOTR which accompanied more emotional melancholy scenes.. that's what I thought was lacking in the Hobbit. (Was Enya on holiday or something lol)Saying that, scene for scene The Hobbits cinema photography & CGI were superior. Scenes with Smaug in the 2nd film were just stunning. Well done Peter Jackson, the films were great. You will be laughing all the way to the bank.
