Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) by Justtoclarify — 11 Jan 2013

A decent film but one which feels far too drawn out, with far too many elements added on top of the book's content. The film feels like a cluttered mess towards the middle, with non-stop action scenes growing tiring and distracting from the film's true purpose.

The 3D is good, and HFR is an interesting experience if you get the opportunity to experience the film in that format. The acting and effects are also both fantastic, with a late entry from a beloved character being the best of both worlds.

Overall, a film with great potential squandered with meandering added storyline and a tiring run-time.
