Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) by Nexusepona — 18 Dec 2012

I've read the books, both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Ring long years before they started to make movies about them, and I just got at the cinema what I was waiting for. The two books were completely different, so not a great suprise that the films have a different feeling as well.

It's not a LOTR 2. The Hobbit is basicly a fairy tale, which was originally written as a fairy tale, for the kids of Tolkien. The movie is following this history, and does it well, in my oppinion. It is entertaining, and a much more lighter aproach on Middle Earth, in a time when peace and prosperity are common things, even if evil is not so far away either.

It's a simple, linear story, lovable and rich of fantasy - in a fairy tail way.
