MOVIE: The HOBBITS (An Unexpected Journey)

Me and my sisters have this December holiday tradition before watching “The Lord of the Rings”, after the trilogy ended the tradition follows, gladly our journey to middle earth returns together with the custom as a new trilogy surfaces “The Hobbits”.

THE HOBBITS is a 1937 fantasy novel by J.R.R. Tolkiens, the same writer as THE LORD OF THE RINGS, it is set in MIDDLE-EARTH and follows the hobbit BILBO BAGGINS adventure with the 13 DWARVES lead by the prince THORIN OAKENSHIELD and the wizard GANDALF to re-claim their home the LONELY MOUNTAIN to the dragon SMAUG.

I love this film, I regret I didn't watch it in 3D due to time constrain having a full packed cinema, but still it’s a vision in 2D.  Though there's some slow pace scene in the movie, it’s still bearable knowing its part of the story---but when it comes to the highlights specifically when the journey starts, it’s magical and exhilarating.

My favorite part is the chase scene where it resembles THE LORD OF THE RINGS (fellowship of the rings) when Arwen was chase by the black riders.

Well the film is really good and highly recommended; the critics gave the film an OK which I understand, it’s not a good as THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy which is kinda impossible to achieve, but its still a good watch and worth your money.

Now its year wait again for its second installment THE HOBBITS (the desolation of Smaug) coming December 13, 2013.
