I usually rewatch the Lord of the Rings trilogy whenever I'm in the mood for it. Usually I rewatch the Hobbit trilogy afterwards, because I just want to spend more time in Middle-earth. That is usually a bit disappointing, because the Hobbit movies are obviously not nearly as good as the Lord of the Rings movies. This time I'm doing it the other way around, not because I'm in the mood for the Hobbit trilogy, but to have the Lord of the Rings movies to look forward to, and to save me some disappointment.

Seen in IMAX 3d
Finally. I finally got to see it and find out where I stand. And where I stand is with two big hairy feet smack dab in the middle of Middle Earth. And I love it there.
I have read The Hobbit a couple of times. It is a stunning piece of children's literature that has a light hearted tone and is a wonderful adventure story. Tolkien once wrote a sentence on a piece of paper: 'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.'. This was not a conscious effort, but it intrigued him. Like everything he has written since he treated this sentence philologically. What does it mean? Where does it come from? What…

all of the dwarves singing ‘the misty mountains cold’ while gathered around bag end’s roaring hearth is so moving that it *almost* justifies the whole insane exercise. almost.

43/100
Happily skipped this a year ago, but Desolation of Smaug got much stronger reviews and I still feel some loyalty to Jackson so fine, hit me with some fucking dwarves.
[three long hours later]
MAKE. THE DWARVES. STOP.

Almost every scene in this is at least three times as long as it should be. Everything between Shire and Rivendell is Snyder's DCEU films level shitshow - bloated, boring, ugly color grading, videogame CGI, one theme song they keep blasting like maniacs. It gets slightly better from there. Slightly.
Martin Freeman is great, Richard Armitage is doing what he can with what he was given and it's a joy to see the actors from the original trilogy. The Gollum scene is excellent and makes the film worth watching.

I'm unfamiliar with the plot, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the suspense and excitement generated by harrowing situations resolved by previously unknown powers of sorcery and heroism. It's not entirely unexpected to me, but with its lighter tone and advancements in digital film techniques, there should be enough of a novelty factor to delight. It's a rollercoaster ride at times, with good pacing, tonal ups and downs, and constant activity. At the very least, it feels like a welcome return to a fondly remembered place in our cinematic memory.
But I don't want to give the impression that this is a bad or even mediocre film. Quite the contrary, this is an exciting and intense fantasy adventure that captivated me…

J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings did cement his legacy into the annals of literature but it wasn't that novel that started the Middle-Earth mythology. Instead, it began years ago when Tolkien wrote a fantasy novel called The Hobbit, a children's book very lighthearted & innocent in its tone compared to its much darker successor.
Decades later, at the dawn of the new millennium, The Lord of the Rings made a historic transition to the silver screen. And so when the filmmakers decided to adapt The Hobbit on film canvas as well, they didn't only have to make it reasonably faithful to its source material but also had a daunting task of living up to the mighty successful on-screen adaptation…
