Give me an ending, and I'll give you the ten that this should be

Rating: 9/10 (19 March 2014)

As a member of the changed for life club it is great to see the new skinny (still bearded) Peter Jackson right at the start of the movie, like a welcoming sign of the almost perfect movie to come. Within the first five minutes you are ankle deep in action, and so many incredible special effects that most movies would already have blown their budgets, and just be winging it, but that is just the beginning, and they do not stop, or get cheap at any point. In fact in this world of washed out franchises this is one story that has been so over played in the past decade that it should really not be worth anyone's time, but instead I personally think that this is the one that all of the other movies were made just so that this could be made. This is the part of the original The Hobbitï»¿ that most people will remember from having it read to them in a class, or reading it themselves, or even the animated movie from the 70's From the Spiders at the Elven gate to the Poison arrow, and even the initial confrontation to start the movie these are the iconic moments of the story that have been so well buried within us all that with little tugs, and amazing flowing action, and effects we are treated to such a near perfect production. I Enjoyed every minute of this movie until it ended, and I was reminded yet again that this is still at least a year from being completed. So of course anyone would recommend this movie to you if you are older than say 9 or 10, and not prone to the night time scares then you will be seeing this one now or later, you will. I do think that the final piece of this story will be a great let down no matter how much work goes into it. This member of the sequel is better than the original club inductee is just going to be really tough to beat. I wish you luck on that one Peter.
