This movie was the beginning of the adaptation of my favorite book. When I first heard that the movie was being adapted into a three part trilogy, I was shocked. How could my favorite book that was 200 pages or so be adapted into 9 hours worth of film? Well, I should have just trusted Pete. From the second the film started, I was pleased. Seeing Thorin's back-story was amazing. The art direction was beautiful. I enjoy how all of the dwarves are getting personalities instead of just existing as they did in The Hobbit book. Martin Freeman was an excellent choice for Bilbo and I feel that he really makes him relevant. All of the dwarves were unique in their portrayals of their characters. My favorites are Bifur, Ori, Fili and Kili. Andy Serkis once again deserves an Oscar, one that he will be sure not to get because American's are stupid. Something that I was disapointed in was the creation of the Wargs. I (for lack of a better word) loved the Wargs from The Two Towers and Return of the King. They seemed much more... Warg-like. These wargs were simply too wolfish. Also, the orcs were not speaking in the common tongue and they seemed a little too animated. Other than that, i was really pleased. I can't wait for next December!
