The Hobbit brings us back to Peter Jackson's Middle Earth. With Peter at the helm, we know that we can expect the same format as The Lord of the Rings. To me this can be a good thing but also tells me that there will be some slow parts
The Hobbit takes awhile to set up its story. We are introduced to the dwarves and their mission and it just goes on longer than I would've liked. However, once they get out of the Shire, the fun begins.
Being a big fan of the Hobbit book, I enjoyed the fact that they followed the book so closely but also liked the new material they added as well. This "trilogy" never had to be and could easily have been done in two films but this is what we have. Adding pieces of Sauron and foreshadowing his rise was a great edition and I think will be key in the coming movies.
Peter Jackson does an excellent job recreating Middle Earth and the special effects are top notch. I love the far away scenes of the landscapes such as Rivendale, it looks beautiful. Although I wanted more in the action scenes, seeing how I loved the fights with Aragorn in LOTR, the Gollum scene was the scene stealer for me. I loved how it was the same dialogue in the book and was exactly how I imagined in when reading.
