Good movie, but...

Rating: 6/10 (26 December 2014)

When I watched The Fellowship of the Ring, I felt in love with the atmosphere of the Shire, a mix of comfort, beauty and simplicity. I had just finished the Lord of the Rings trilogy of Tolkien and Jackson seemed to have understood the wonderful world which Tolkien created. Then, the epic quest of the Ring began and never had enough and watched many times the extended editions.
Some years later, the adventures of Bilbo the hobbit were going in cinema. When I learned it would be three movies, it seemed really strange, but I gave it a shot. Since the first movie went out, I was disappointed. The hobbit is one of my favorite book : it is charming, simple and it is an incredible adventure. But I never had the feeling of adventure which I link with the Hobbit. I found the first two movies were very good, but it was missing some ingredients. The last movie was a bigger disappointment. The first half was good, but after that, it was just battles after battles, with a supersonic Legolas and a Super Saiyan Galadrielle, with bosses which seemed to be created for video games. But the feeling of adventure was absent, and it ruined the movie for me.
In the Hobbit, the charm of the book, which is not reflected in the movies (particularly the third one) can be resumed with the end :
" "Of course!" said Gandalf [...] "You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins and I am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little follow in a wide world after all" "Thank goodness!" said Bilbo laughing, and handed him the tobacco-jar".
