I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings series but I enjoy them very much so. Usually I'm not a fan of fantasy movies but when I saw the first installment of the Lord of the Rings, I liked it a lot. I found myself rooting for Frodo and the rest of the fellowship. I was satisfied when the final movie ended because I thought Peter Jackson did a terrific job with the franchise overall. Then years later, Peter Jackson announced that he would be directing the Hobbit in a three film series. I saw the first installment and I was blown away. The film was shy of three hours but it didn't feel long at all. I felt like throughout the film there were no slow moments in the film. As they say it, it was action packed from start to finish. I found myself cheering for Bilbo and a lot of the characters.
A huge part about this movie that really sold me were the visuals. Peter Jackson decided to shoot this film at 48 frames per second, two times the regular amount. Some people did not like this at all because it seems too real but I thought that it looked amazing. It looked so real, almost like you were watching a blu ray disc at the movie theater. Since it was one of Peter Jackson's fantasies, there was a lot of long shots showing all the scenery. Compared to the LOTR movies, this movie seemed a lot more colorful and bright. I think this is because The Hobbit is a children's book, but Peter Jackson made it is own. Overall this movie blew me away. 4 out of 5.
