The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Poster

This movie is 169min long. So, it is pretty worth to watch in cinema. As ticket cost $11. This movie is the prequels to Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. The story line is about Bilbo Baggins with a group of Dwarves who wanted to reclaim their stolen mountain home from a dragon named Smaug.

The movie introduce a lot of characters. Like hobbit, wizards, dwarves, elves, goblins, trolls, etc. Pretty random, pretty out of place. Like every scene will bring a new type of creature.

If you love LOTR, then you’ll love this movie. Maybe some of you may find it boring, or too long. But I do love it. I love the story, I love how it brings the same person as the same character. I love how it introduce the ring. I also then know about the 5 wizards, which I don’t think matter very much except for the white and the grey. It tells you bout Gandalf the grey. As in the LOTR, he died and became the white. The Brown also was the one who discovered the ghost.

13 dwarves lead by their prince Thorin, Gandalf and Master Baggines went for a dangerous journey which the title say it all. I felt it was more about dwarves than the actual hobbit. Even though it is bout him, but ya it is just focus on the dwarves getting back their home.

If you want the story, read the wiki, read the book or watch the movie.

I am just going to talk more bout what I think. I watched the movie after hearing people said that it is boring. So I never expect much. I just thought it was going to be draggy. Which sure at some part, when they finally saw the mountain and the dragon sleeping in the pile of gold. Oh glorious gold. I love that part. Anyway, I thought we were just at one and half hour of the movie. End up it was over and 2h more had past. So it was quite cool. I never thought it will be “pretty fast”.

I thought they gonna kill off half the dwarves when the rock crush on them. So ya, its pretty cool they did not. Even though 15 characters is kind of a lot. Lots of quirky moment, funny jokes like: “He won the battle and invented the game of golf at the same time.” The part where Saruman said bout the brown wizard eating too much mushroom.

I guess the hobbit is not for everyone, but if you love simple humor and want to know what happen before LOTR. 60 years ago to be exact, then you can watch it.
