A movie review
Certainly , the movie was big
Loads of action
Loads of monsters ( most lacking any sort of conscious but they are dark creatures ) nothing like the cave Troll in LOTR
The battle scenes are roaring successes
And thank the lord that the eagles came
I hate to think we are talking American Eagle here , but if it sells ?
The cinematography was grand ( oh , it was 3D )
And they got the Bilbo part right. Martin Freeman does an outstanding job ' bringing the picture down to MiddleEarth and the Shire ' when all goes crazy , the Hobbit sensibly seeks peace and reconciliation - nicely donw
The story line developed quickly
- Dwarves have golden treasure , everyone wants a share , promises broken
The bad guys are coming b/c they are the bad guys
Galadriel , Elrond , Saruman and Sauron get cameo roles and for the first time that I can remember , I heard the name Morgoth
Morgoth is the alias for Melkor. Melkor is an original God of the world. Melkor took Elves and made them Orcs. the symbolism is that the Orcs are the image of Melkor as the Elves are the image of Iluvatar.
The above references are enough to form the bridge between the Hobbit trilogy and LOTR itself.
Accepting that everything above is a positive , are there con s
Well , on the bum numbness scale , this movie gets fairly high marks
It does hold your interest but barely
Weather : 27 F in the shade and the air is still
We have a skim of white on the ground
M's take on last night , Hobbit ans sushi ( dinner ) Wow !
