I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Good start, but then it gets ruined
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
I think like everybody I watched the triology hoping to get the same affection as Lord of the Rings but did I get it: NO Because: the biggest problem is that it does not create the feeling that you are in the movie. I watched it as a cartoon. Another problem is that Gandalf does not have the control, even Aragorn in Lord of the Rings could not get before the role of Gandalf Scenes were created for the sake of the filling any gap, forexample in one scene suddenly an elf on the horse appears before Legolas summoning him to their country. Well at least they have showed him coming on the road in the far away camera before appearing. Another problem was composing, the music stole away the seriousness of the movie turning it into combination of the scenes where the outcomes were predictable. In the end, after watching the triology I had to check the director to see if he was the same Peter of Lord of the Rings.
Unfortunately, The Hobbit did not know what it wanted to be. It jumped between being the fun adventure that the book is to being a dark brooding setup for the LOTR trilogy. Far too many extraneous side stories found their way into this overly long and bloated children's story. The film should have been cut down to one 3 hour or, at the most, two 2 hour movies. Filling up some extra minutes with some Middle Earth backround information was ok, but a lot of extra junk that was unnecessary was thrown into this trilogy and especially into the Desolation of Snaug. In all honestly the best parts of these films were the stuff that was taken directly out of the book.
First off in case you don't know lotr and hobbit are very different stories and shouldn't be compared . lotr is a darker story, about a hobbit that needs to destroyed an evil ring created by great evil. Meanwhile in the hobbit , a hobbit goes on an epic adventure with a bunch of dwarves and a wizard to kill a dragon and take back the dwarves' treasure. Everyone that's is comparing the genre of the hobbit to lotr needs to stop NOW! The hobbit is a kid book for goodness sake and lotr is aimed for older people.Anyway let's get straight down to business. The movies had a great plot and amazing action scenes though had cgi problems.The movie was slow paced since it is the first movie of the trilogy and the first movie is always slow like star wars a new hope,lotr the fellowship of the ring and more.Adding characters like Radagast was pretty unnecessary,few scenes weren't that good but the Gollum scene was scaring and intense when he finds out that Bilbo stole his ring.The orcs look pretty meh... should had used real people dressing up as orcs.the action scenes were just fantastic. the best action scene was when throin was fighting azog ,gave me goosebumps a little bit.great character development with Bilbo though It may not show much since it is just the beginning of the hobbit series and you don't want him a lot of character development too early or else that would make the movie a bit rushed. Plus how thorin in the beginning of the movie he doesn't trust Bilbo at all and thinks he worthless and in the end he admits he's wrong is pretty good character development. We also get know his backstory .overall I give the hobbit a 7/10 would be higher it cgi hadn't been obvious pros: amazing actions scene(most of them) meeting Bilbo baggins scene,great character development,cons:cgi,unnecessary characters,awful scenes
Best to watch in 3d vision, Great work. I liked this movie when i watched it for very first time. Its kind of movie that you can enjoy with your family. Great graphics. And this movie has superb background music. If you liked its first version, you will definitely like next two versions as well which covers the remaining story.
