Last December one of my most anticipated movies came to theaters all around the world. I was looking forward to seeing the adaptation of The Hobbit to the screen by Peter Jackson after the great success of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
With the great Lord of the Rings movies’ gritty and realistic look implanted in my head ready to view The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey I was unfortunately disappointed with what I viewed in the theater on that day.
The Hobbit was a fantasy movie to the fullest with colorful landscapes and vivid cgi characters that took away from the realism I was expecting. The playfulness showed on the screen was something that was controversial to the feel and look of The Lord of the Rings. My biggest complaint I have is that the goblins all done in cgi with vibrant green skin and how unreal they felt. Compared to the goblins we saw in The Fellowship of the Ring these cgi goblins seemed friendly and reasonable.
I hope that everyone else who has seen it enjoyed it but I did not enjoy it nearly enough to say I wanted to see the next two. I am very skeptical of the new one coming out: The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug but hope very much that it is better than the first although the trailers have not helped my skepticism.
