An Unexpected Journey
Dec. 27th, 2012 12:28 amAlthough still afflicted by the cold, on Sunday I braved the elements to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
Overall I found it a very enjoyable movie, and I think if you like Tolkien's universe at all, you won't regret seeing it. However, I do feel it's a little longer than it needs to be, and I question the wisdom of splitting the book into three parts rather than two.
( Spoilers behind the cut... )
I do think the movie could be shorter by at least half an hour without losing anything of significance.
However, I'm thoroughly looking forward to parts 2 and 3.
