The Hobbit Movie Review
The Hobbit movie review

This past weekend, I went to see the movie ‘The Hobbit’. As a great fan of the author J.R.R Tolkien I would agree that the hobbit series are far more breathtaking than the Lord of the Rings series and that it is definitely not one to miss.

This movie is mainly about the final battle between the dwarves, elves, orcs and people of laketown. The dragon Smaug escapes the dwarf’s domain and decides to destroy the town. Many unfortunate events occur until Bard slays the dragon. The people then have to evacuate the village and refuge at the previous laketown. Soon after, the elves come with a great army demanding for their diamonds or they’ll wage war; as well as the people of laketown decide to demand for their fair share of gold to rebuild their city. During this massive fight, the orcs have prepared an even greater army to fight for the castle. However in the end an epic eye catching battle between the 5 armies occur.

This movie is filled with amazing actors who truly make the film heart stopping. First, Richard Armitage gives a legendary performance in this film; it’s amazing how serious and devoted he is. Every single bit he did was to perfection and he really shone the personality of thorin oakinshield in the way Tolkien wanted it to be. Also Martin Freeman as the only hobbit is the perfect actor for Bilbo because of his enthusiasm and bravery, which really fits the character. Finally, Lee Pace also plays a very significant role as Thranduil. He fits the role as a king and loving father. He acts out in the film how much he does care for his people and how great of a warrior he is, which is definitely a pleasure to watch. The casting for this movie is truly perfect, and the actors did not disappoint the viewer’s expectations.

This movie was better from the rest because it had more concerning the characters’ personalities. In one particular scene, Thorin was controlled by the gold’s curse and didn’t care at all about anyone and would risk

    These movie starts by describing the setting where the hobbits lived and spend their lives in holes. Communication started by Bilbo saying “Good morning” to the grey wizard; although the wizard asked him if he wishes a good morning or that good things will happen in that morning and so on. The great wizard named Gandalf offered an adventure to Bilbo, therefore he thought about the offer and denied by saying good morning again and entering the hole where he lived. As the same day went on Gandalf left a mark on Bilbo’s door for the dwarves to come for a little discussion.

    The most important criteria for judging this film is the great casting. The cast was excellently picked. Actors in a movie must be believable and able to pull their roles off extremely well. If not, the audience will become bored and uninterested. Jim Carrey does perfectly. In this film, he is absolutely brilliant and deserves extensive praise for this role. Kate Winslet…

    Usually in movies there will be an actor that looks nothing like how they are described in the book. In this case most of the actors look how i pictured them from the book. They also had the same attitude and personality as they did in the book. I think the movie did a good job of comparing this part.…

    Flashback to the summer of 1977, the United States had just celebrated its bi-centennial, Jimmy Carter was in the White house, and the king of rock and roll was in his last days. A bright eyed and bushy tailed young filmmaker named George Lucas was about to launch his newly created project on the world, “Star Wars”.

    1. The difference and similarities among leadership, leader, and leading are that leadership is a function, which can be fulfilled by a person but also shared by a group. In the movie, The Hobbit, Thorin showed examples of leadership. Thorin exerted his leadership by fighting the pale orc that beheaded his father in battle. As the dwarf army retreated after seeing the king die, Thorin stayed and fought cutting off the hand of the orc. This showed leadership by stepping up in the time of battle with no king. In the article it stated that Leaders have to deal with searching for new fitting identities. We do not expect leadership from only leaders. Followers can also show leadership. In the movie the dwarfs helped Thorin make certain decisions that would benefit the group. Bilbo, the hobbit, showed leadership in their adventure by stalling the trolls from eating the horses. He also…

    the road book vs movie

    A long time has passed since the idea that “The book is better than the movie” was accepted without question. Most of the time, if the movies follow an original script and there is no book version to compare it to, it is most likely to be seen as a great piece of work. However, when a film is present to be compared against a novel, it is inevitably not as great as the original work. There is also a limitation on films due to their format. A three-hour film is considered extremely long and lengthy, and most directors and filmmakers generally try and cut crop and edit out unnecessary and uneventful parts of a certain book to fit a golden rule of thumb that allows for movies to be about two hours long. Because a book adaptation is meant to tell the gist of the story, it is usually concentrated on making it possible to grasp the overall plot in one sitting.…

    1. Thesis Statement: Within the pages of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien there is courage, adventure, and a great change of character in Mr. Bilbo Baggins. The Hobbit starts off with the description of what sort of creatures’ hobbits are and the introduction of Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo is just like any other regular hobbit; he enjoys food, doesn’t like adventure, and right at the beginning says, “We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner. I don’t see what anyone sees in them (page 6).” This he says to Gandalf the Grey who’s a wizard and returns to Hobbiton after many years on a search for someone who is willing to go on an adventure. Right off the bat Bilbo tells Gandalf absolutely not, he is not looking for an adventure, but Gandalf must of mistook his answer for consent to going on an adventure because before Bilbo knows it he’s off with a group of 13 dwarves on a quest to regain the dwarf Thorin’s homeland from the evil dragon Smaug. I think the moment when Bilbo really begins his change of character is when they were all meeting before they went off on their quest and the dwarves thought he couldn’t hear them, and they started talking about how Bilbo seemed much to small, timid, and weak to be any good at burglaring. When they said those things Bilbo’s Took side of the family won out and he began to find himself thinking, “…He would go without bed and breakfast to be thought fierce. As for little fellow bobbing on the mat it also made him really fierce (page 18)…” This part in the story is when I believe Bilbo began to have sparks of thoughts that maybe he really did want to go on an adventure.…

    I will be talking about Gandalf’s role in the story and how he is like a father figure to Bilbo. The Hobbit was wrote by J. R. R. Tolkien. We first see Gandalf at the beginning of the story when he meets Bilbo at his hobbit hole. The first impression the story gives us about Gandalf is he is wise and every time he visits he tells adventourus stories. Gandalf is a old wise wizard, who isn’t interested in the gold the dwarves were looking for but to push Bilbo into a new life style.…

    Bravery means courageous behavior or character. In the novel, “The Hobbit” by J. R. R. Tolkien, Bilbo is by far the most important and bravest character. However, Bilbo is not portrayed as a brave hero in the beginning. Rather, he is a timid, comfortable, and complacent homebody like all the other hobbits. As Thorin’s group progresses in its quest for the treasure under the mountain, Bilbo also embarks on a journey of character development, growing in confidence and resourcefulness, which enables him to transform into a brave and self-assured hero at the end. Bilbo’s character suggests that bravery is not innate but can be learnt and developed. Further, he shows that true bravery should be resourceful, intelligent, selfless, just, loyal and humble.…

    Throughout The Hobbit there are several different themes. The main theme in The Hobbit is to “always face your fears”. Bilbo faces his fears many times during the adventure. That is the main theme because Bilbo and other hobbits are known to not like adventures, or do anything unusual. In the beginning, Bilbo was afraid to even go on the adventure, but by going on the adventure he faced many of his fears. He thinks about not doing many things during the adventure, but yet he faces his fears by doing those things. As they go on he does many things no one would ever expect a hobbit to do.…
