It feels to me like Peter Jackson is mercilessly trying to milk his LOTR franchise for all that it's worth. Much of what's in this movie alone actually comes from the appendixes in the LOTR books. The Hobbit was a very straightforward children's tale. Yes. The Hobbit was a children's book and was planned as a one-off to boot. It does not and will not have an epic scale like LOTR did. Peter Jackson seems to be trying to make it epic but he only made it overly long.

It's long? I almost felt sad when they showed the eye but still a great closure for part 1.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

Wow... how to review this.

Watched this on Sunday, in 3D...

After watching Lord Of The Ring, Return of the King, I really REALLY wanted to see The Hobbit, just to be complete.

After hearing all the drama, related to the copyright, the changes in director, and now have watched the first of the three movie, I am... underwhelm....

Don't get me wrong, it is beautifully shot! Nostalgia galore, and hence there lays the problem, there really isn't enough story to justify 3 MOVIES!!!!

He spread thing out, to the point of stupor...

Alright, he extracted information from the compendium, and also, that is the problem. It is compendium, which means additional information, NOT story....

Pacing is an issue. When action happens, it is NOTHING but, and when things slow down, they slow down to a stupor...

One thing I would like to add though, the "music" in this movie, is actually an improvement over The Lord of the Ring trilogy, which is a good thing!!

I'm a little concern for part 2 and 3...

It was a little bored before they left the shire but I have no problems with pacing after that. It feels slow because we all know they won't reached the dragon hahaha but it isn't boring. This is even slower than Fellowship imo and there is simply no sense of urgency

I doubt part 2 and part 3 will be slow...cause either one part will kill the dragon and the other part is the battle of five armies.

Actually the stone giants match is an integral part of the plot just not the way it was done in the movie. Nevertheless I love that part. But seriously, Hobbits can't be make into one movie. It will need at least 2. Why not make full use of the appendices to tie the story in better to the Lord of The Rings considering that his next book was 17 years in the making.

I heard there will be 25mins extended version coming in later for home videos. I can't wait to watch that too.

just got back from gsc garden

yes, THX + 48fps,

sound quality is superb, can hear everything with good clarity and punchy bass

but the fluidity 48fps made the movie less enjoyment, like watching cartoon, and it made the movie not as serious as the scene should be.

and the storyline maybe is not my type, didnt like it, fall asleep few times.

great movie, but feeling i waste my money for this

no more 48fps for me

then don't watch movies at 1080p because it is too clear like they are talking to you doh.gif

You are right, of course. In the books, there were no moths. I was referring to Peter Jackson's version which was inconsistent. The time it took the moth to relay the message varied greatly. Thus I was wondering if moths on Jackson's Middle Earth could break the sound barrier in flight. Wouldn't it have been cool to see the little moth make a tiny cone shaped cloud and hear the sonic boom as it broke through the sound barrier?  rolleyes.gif

Bro, you have to chill a bit with Peter Jackson. It is Hollywood after all. Do you remember the Frodo at Mount Doom part right before the lava? The ring had initially cursed Gollum that if he is to touch the ring again, he will fall to his death in Mount Doom. It is a very critical part because the message by Tolkien then is that Evil will defeat itself. Frodo is never meant to snatch the ring from Gollum but in the movies with Frodo snatching and him hanging precariously with only one arm is so much more dramatic.
