The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey



Starring: Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman
Director: Peter Jackson
Rating: ●●●●○ - Does not disappoint

This week's movie is a much expected one: The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey
It is worth saying that I have not read the book and so I will not comment on much faithful to the original the story is.
But I did see the Lord of the Rings trilogy of which the Hobbit is the prequel.
If we ignore this for a moment and evaluate the Hobbit as a stand alone movie, then we could say that it is a bit slow at parts (the dinner of the Dwarves at Bilbo's place for example) and that the writers did not even try to come up with a kind of conclusion for this episode.
But we know that there will be two other episodes of the Hobbit due to be released soon, that have been already filmed.
For now, we as viewers just need to follow Bilbo in his travels though fantastic landscapes, Gandalf, the Gollum, battles with Ogres, and most of all... the Ring.
The whole production team is the same as previous Oscar winning trilogy, starting from director Peter Jackson who wrote and directed the previous one.
So if you liked the Lord of the Rings and you want to see more of it, you know you cannot miss this one.
