Personal Review- The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

          The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, directed by Peter Jackson, was without a doubt one of the most successful movies to grace the public at the end of 2012. An Unexpected Journey is the first among three movies that will make up The Hobbit because of the incredible amount of content that these movies will contain. After his direction of the three Lord of the Rings movies several years ago, Peter Jackson had to step it up in this new trilogy of movies that take place in J.R.R. Tolkien's middle earth universe. Fans who are loyal to Tolkien's works of literature are far from disappointed in this experience because much of the same elements are present throughout both, unlike some movies in which the movie does not accurately portray the work of literature which is being illustrated. Although the movie adopts some new concepts and abandons some old ones in order to give it some independence in terms of originality, most of the concepts from the movie are borrowed from the works of literature which is fortunate for most fans. For these reasons and many more The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey gets a 9.5 out of 10 and is a must see for anyone who is even slightly interested in action and suspense, as well as occasional comedy, and is without a doubt one of the greatest movies to ever be seen as an interpretation of an original work of literature.
