C'est LA viE

Finally, <the Hobbit> movie released!!! I had been waiting since the first trailer released last year, so looking forward for it! I am truly a big, huge LOTR fan, also admire with Peter Jackson’s production since I watched the trilogy of LOTR. I was so anxious to watch the hobbit especially sawing some news reporting about the world premier at Wellington 2 wks ago. But it actually only started screening from 13^{th Dec.} So I just couldn’t border there weren’t anyone joining me for this journey to the middle of the earth, I went to the cinema by myself. =P It was also my first time watching movie at the cinema alone. =) but I am very happy with my decision. The movie was awesome! Fantastic! Bravo, Peter Jackson, Bravo, Martin Freeman! And to the rest of the movie crews and actor/ess, and staffs or so on, u guys done a good job! I felt so grateful to be able to view the good film which was largely local produced in this land of Hobbiton! This time, I could even (not 100%) recognize the place in the film where it could be in real life. I recalled the time while I watch the LOTR, before I come to NZ, I was so amazed by the scenery and so excited I was coming to NZ for further study. And few years later, I am in NZ and able to watch <the hobbit>, this is just so cool! Well I am not a reader, so I am not comparing the book and the film. As a visual person, I ranked A for this movie. I love fantasy, mysterious movies, so I am definitely biased for Hobbit, especially I am LOTR fan. The movie flow very smoothly, and the story is very understandable, and Martin played the hobbit very well. I really enjoyed watching his facial expression and emotion in this film.  I am not going to compare the hobbit with the famous LOTR, because I think they are different. I personally think that the Hobbit was produced just because the popularity of LOTR. Thus, most of the favourite characters from LOTR are gone in the Hobbit film, so they are different. I would say the Hobbit has less action, adventure scene as compared to LOTR, it’s more telling a story, giving a basic platform for the happening of LOTR. But, it was a very good visual story teller, and the movie itself actually was very funny. I laughed so much this time, especially when Gollum appeared. He is real funny, and evil of cause.  the new characters - the trolls also very funny! They also was standing at the Te Papa museum right now! (just statue) I saw some critics reviews online, and some ‘experts’ were commenting that the film advanced technology for shooting killed the production and letting some ppl down. Some said it just like watching video games. Well, I actually also noticed the Hobbit film somehow was higher definition than LOTR, but I am still very happy with that. I don’t think the effect was like video games because there were not many action scenes, and I hate watching video games man! Anyways, different people likes different cup of tea. I am very happy with the Hobbit, u got my biggest support and respect!
