MYST #3 The Hobbit an Unexpected Journey

I saw this movie a few weeks ago and I am a big fan of all of the Lord of the Rings films. I was very excited when I learned that they were making three hobbit films because I had seen the other three Lord of the Rings movies and I thought those would be the last Lord of the Rings films made, but I was wrong. I thought that this movie would not be as exciting or action packed as the others, but I was mistaken. This movie was full of action and although the movie is very long, the tome flew by because there was so much exciting action going on.
Lord of the Rings movies are known for having great special effects because of all of the created characters and structures. The effects in this movie were again very cool like the others and they make this made up world seem very realistic. The Orc's and other monsters are very intimidating due to the effects and make up work. The music in this movie is also great, another thing Lord of the Rings movies are known for.
This movie is about a young Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins who goes on a journey with a group of Dwarfs and Gandalf. They are on a journey to reclaim the lost Dwarf kingdom of Erebor. They set off on their journey and Bilbo doesn't really fit in with the group because he does not have much experience with fighting, but he later saves the life of the groups leader Thorin, proving his importance and worthiness of being in the group. They fight several Orc's and giants on the journey and Bilbo has an encounter with Gollum. Bilbo takes Gollum's sacred Ring and takes it with him, not knowing of its special powers. This movie is the first of the Hobbit trilogy so the journey will continue in the next two movies.
My favorite scene was when the group was in a Orc cave and they had to escape. They were running through the cave leaping from bridge to bridge with a horde of Orcs chasing after them. This scene was a little unrealstic because they fell hundreds of feet to the ground off of a bridge and were fine after the fall, but other than that the scene was exciting and my favorite of the film.
I would give this movie a 7/10 because it was really well done and intriguing, but the beginning was kind of slow and because of how long it is I don't know if I could sit through the whole movie again. Overall though I would recommend it to anyone who liked the other Lord of the Rings films.

  1. Yeah, I didn't hear great things about this film. I think if you liked LOTR, they you'd probably like this, but I heard that it was pretty slow and kind of cliche.

    Anyway, good job with the reviews. Just add in a bit more in terms of specifics and details.
