Movies of 2012: The Hobbit The Unexpected Journey

Greetings,

First off let me say that due to the fact that it would take too long for me to talk about the Lord Of the Rings trilogy and the movie made by Ralph Bakshi, I'am not going to talk about any other previous movies that have anything to do with the Hobbit or the Lord the Of the Rings in general. I will talk about the Lord Of The Rings movies in the future, but not now.

And once again much to my evergrowing surprise people are feeling rather negative towards the Hobbit and honestly I don't know why, so if any of you do know please let me know since I would like to know what is so terribly wrong with this one.

I will give you this: spreading a rather short novel in to 3 separate movies is bullshit! And I was much more into the original idea of telling the story and then again there was that Tintin movie. But then I went and saw the Hobbit and here is my opinion about it:

It was perfect.

Now it's perfectly possible that I may change my mind and it's perfectly possible that the same thing might happen to this as it did with the Star Wars prequels. If this is going to happen I will inform you, but at this day and age in my humble opinion the Hobbit The Unexpected Journey is perfect.

Now just because I've said that the Hobbit is perfect doesn't mean that it's up there with Citizen Kane or Casablanca or anything like that. No no no no no. That would be an insult. What I mean is that I think that the Hobbit succeeds we're the Lord of the Rings movies failed. Now Lord of the Rings movies are good, I'm not saying that they aren't I'm just saying that to me that trilogy wasn't nearly as epic or as great as the books. I'll explain better some other time.

But the Hobbit succeeds on that. It's still lighthearted and all that but you know what? So is the book! I haven't read the book in years but I do remember that it was lighter than Lord of the Rings and to me it that is why the Hobbit is so good, since much like Spielberg Peter Jackson is just a competent film director. There is also that complain that there is too much action, but my explanation is that Peter Jackson listened to all those who said that there was too much walking in the Lord Of The Rings so there you go. Once again there is that so called plot-hole with the eagles, but to me there is no plot-hole. Why? Well just because the eagles are clever and bigger birds doesn't essentially mean that they should be treated as such. I mean just because they are Eagles doesn't mean that they have other things to do than flying bunch of smelly dwarves to some place.

I also saw the movie in 3D and in HFR (48Frames per second) 3D was just as non-existing as you might guess, the HFR made the movie nice and sharp.

So to put it simply just take The Hobbit the Unexpected Journey for what it is, a well made movie, but a prequel that should have been the first movie in the franchise.

So that's all for now 'till next time Live Long and prosper Asahamana is out *snap*
