Hobbit: The Unexpected journey

The event of the year I was looking forward to, since I've first heard about it - The Hobbit movie(s).
And when I first saw the trailer, I just couldn't wait for it (But of course, it was a long time before the movies came to cinemas, so it didn't mean very much.)

 At the beggining - just in case someone doesn't know what is the story about: A hobbit called Bilbo Baggins lives his peaceful and placid life, until the group of dwarves comes to his door (Namely Kili, Fili, Balin, Dwalin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Oin, Gloin, Nori, Dori, Ori and Thorin, their king.) and he goes with them to an imposant adventure - to get back their homeland, The Lonely Mountain.

 The magic atmosphere was going throught the whole movie and many times I was just staring at the screen with my mouth open (like when they went to the Rivendell). This movie is marvelous and brilliant, but let's be honest - I am a huge fantasy fan and thi is not a film for anyone...

If you are wondering about going to see this, GO. If you are a fantasy mind as me, you're gonna love it, if not... At least you will have some opinion.

There are few things I'd like to write about - so watch out for spoilers!




1) The Soundtrack.
 It was simply brilliant, we could even hear some LOTR melodies, which always made me smile... And THE SONGS! "Misty Mountines" gives me chills and goose bums every single time I hear it, "That's what Bibo Baggins hates" makes me laugh and so it did in the cinema (So everyone began to stare at me... But it was worth it. :3 + I have a tendention to sing with the dwarves, what is also not very appropriate.)


2) The "Three films" thing
The first films takes about three hours and there are two more coming... Well, that's a lot. And it's a lot even for me. Jackson follows the book a lot, but he also adds some moments from another books, obviosly just to make the story longer and earn more money - I get it, but I don't really like it...

3) Golum.
Simply - the scenes with Golum made me most scared. I always had strange feelings about him, but here...
The whole time, I was just maniacaly chafing my hands and hiding behind a popcorn. (Yes, I do it... For some reason...) And the riddles? Brilliant.

4) Martin Freeman.
Erm, as I've written in the past ( Here) I'm a Sherlock fan, so this was such a strong experience for me... I have to say he did a great job and I couldn't imagine anyone portaying Bilbo so well.

So - I loved it, but it also has mistakes (For example the lenght and maybe trying to make The Hobbit something more than he is - darker story, more like LOTR. But it's not! It was always more like a mature fairytale...)

9/10
