What a great film

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2014)

Well, great, but not LOTR great.
It is clearly very well done and hard work done by Jackson and crew really shows here.
I can't understand why people can compare these to the Star Wars Prequels. Those were at an extremely low quality, with bad acting, bad story, and bad special effects. The Hobbit is so much better, though still not as good as LOTR.
The action sequences are engaging and entertaining, but a lot of room for character development is still left. And that dragon: wow.
Overall, a great movie and a spectacular achievement in filmmaking.
