Jackson and Company have done it once again with this remarkable interpretation of Tolkien's classic work, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again. The film is a technical tour de force and is widely being characterized as a 'game changer' for its technological brilliance, particularly with respect to the high frame-rate format. The filmmakers took great pains to create a film that would inspire any audience--Tolkien purists and the uninitiated alike will appreciate the story of the reluctant Bilbo Baggins and his adventure with a hardened band of dwarves. To this effect Howard Shore's score plays a significant role; his music is a perfect blend of old and new, though it's all beautiful to listen to. Solid visual and aural effects seal the deal. Some have made remarks against the films pacing. This reviewer has little criticism to offer with respect to that, though some scenes may feel a tad too slow to some (a Warg chase comes to mind). In all, it's a breathtaking film that leaves us madly anticipating the next installment.
