Although Many of you have heard by now that this movie is not the koh-i-noor of Peter Jackson’s film work, I disagree and encourage you to see it. I would especially encourage you to see it if you are new to The Lord Of the Rings books or movies. I myself was a novice to this world, and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey brought much clarity. It also contains rich character portrayal, great costume design, art direction, and good character storylines. Bilbo’s dilemma is at the crux of the plot of the movie, and one, many of us will face in our life ( think Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken). Lastly, who does not want to see the rich landscape of Peter Jackson’s native land: New Zealand? So if you haven’t seen it please see do- it’s still playing!
