      repeat + inexplicable

      Finally, I got this work a few minutes before I went to the theater to watch the second part. In Yingying's words, the plot was seamless.
      Ten years later, the pictures of the new series are more vivid, bright and delicate than the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Having said that, the magnificent mountain scenery is actually only suitable for long-lens aerial photography, and it may not be so refreshing to be in it.
      From the perspective of the story process, this work largely replicates the...

      It couldn't have been better to choose Martin Freeman to play the goofy goofy Bilbo Baggins!

      Forgive me, someone who hasn't even watched The Lord of the Rings,
      suddenly remembered to watch The Hobbit

      to watch The Hobbit2 for the weekend.
      Today, I will make up for The Hobbit1

      . I only remembered it when I was reading the movie review. Bilbo Baggins picked it up. The golden ring that arrives is the Lord of the Rings
      = = It couldn't be more suitable

      to choose Martin Freeman to play the stupid Bilbo Baggins ! Gandalf turned around to reveal...

      Ten years of dreaming to return to Middle-earth

      Text/Dream Poetry Book

      Ten years of expectation, from an ignorant teenager to a mature, I still remember the first time I watched "The Lord of the Rings" 10 years ago, I was deeply fascinated by this movie Now, the grand historical background, the mysterious Middle-earth, the wonderful adventure story of The Hobbit... This is a good film that can really integrate you into the movie. I was looking forward to the next movie. When a "Return of the King" is over, I always look forward to...

      very happy

      Instead of blindly indulging in the special effects blockbuster mode, they showed the unruly personality of the group and their determination to rebuild their homes. They played and sang at the Hawkins' house together, created a happy atmosphere with a silly troll, and even melded minor songs. If you add it to the orc, you can watch the story without looking at the face, watch the special effects without watching the story, and still see the scenery without watching the special effects....

      Can't give A+

      I didn't expect the beginning to be so lengthy that I almost fell asleep.

      The awakening of the viewer's consciousness begins when Barnes agrees to join. The content that followed was gradually interesting.

      The fight with the trolls, while exciting, is not as good as Baggins' encounter with Gollum. I think this is the most moving part of the film, and it is also the essence of Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" lineage.

      As for the confrontation with the orcs, the aura of...

      As a fan of The Lord of the Rings, I said that this prequel is not at all cowardly~~ Although the prelude is long, the scenery, acting skills, special effects and background music are all too perfect. Watson's cuteness was also quite successful, and the moment when he showed mercy was so...

      The story is dominated by Baggins flashbacks, gorgeous fighting scenes and stretched scenery, and the goal is to retake their former homeland from the Eastern Fire-breathing Dragon with the dwarf prince's team. Fortunately, he was chased by trolls, goblins, and orcs on the way, and they all escaped, and he got the golden ring, the source of disaster in the Lord of the Rings...

    Behind the scenes gags

    For physical reasons, Christopher Lee (playing Saruman) and Ian Holm (playing Bilbo Baggins old) both finished filming their films in London and did not go to New Zealand.
    Gurum appeared only once in the original novel, so Andy Serkis, who played him, only took a week to finish filming his own scene. But he did not leave the crew, but worked on the crew as the second director.
    Richard Armitage, who plays the dwarf prince Thorin, is a...

    The director of the film, Peter Jackson, divided the entire drama into two groups for shooting. The first shooting team led by director Peter Jack and the second shooting team led by Andy Serkis.

    The Hobbit: Positive Evaluation of Unexpected Journey

    Compared with the predecessor, this film has a more relaxed theme and digital special effects improvements in the past ten years, which is enough to satisfy the fans of the original. ( National Public Broadcasting Review )
    Although it is more relaxed than the original, but still very faithful to the original, and Martin Freeman's Bilbo also has considerable potential; in short, there are still many valuable points in this film. (...e

    Special effects 3D gorgeous fantasy

    The 3D production effect of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" gives the audience an extraordinary fantasy experience. In the scene of Rivendell, the kingdom of elves, the original "Lord of the Rings" series has made the audience wish to live in this picturesque world of elves, and this film turns the wonderful scenery of Rivendell into 3D technology. It is more beautiful, coupled with the director's superb scene scheduling ability,...

    Insufficient innovation

    Although the film uses 3D technology, in terms of CG creativity and production, it is not much improved compared to the "Lord of the Rings" series. From the overall effect, it can't even compare to "Avatar". The three "Lord of the Rings" all have unique and ingenious computer special effects, such as the flood of thousands of horses in "The Lord of the Rings", the tree man in "The Two Towers", and the ghost army in "The Return of the...

    Movie quotes

    • Old Bilbo: In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole full of worms and oozy smells. This was a hobbit-hole and that means good food, a warm hearth, and all the comforts of home.

    • Kili: [Kili is gently flirting with an Elf maid when he catches Dwalin glaring at him] I can't say I fancy Elves myself, too thin. They're all high cheekbones and creamy skin. Not enough facial hair for me.

      [He motions to an Elf walking behind him]

      Kili: Although, that one there's not bad.

      Dwalin: That's not an Elf maid.

      [the Elf turns around, revealing that he is indeed a male]

      Kili: [the Dwarves burst out laughing at Kili's mistake] That's funny.

    • Thorin Oakenshield: Out of the frying pan...

      Gandalf: ...and into the fire. Run. Run!
