關於這部電影

The adventure follows Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim Erebor with the help of Gandalf the Grey and 13 Dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild, through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins, Orcs and deadly Wargs, as well as a mysterious and sinister figure known only as the Necromancer. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the Goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever...Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of ingenuity and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities...A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

評分和評論

Peter Jackson really changed the whole feeling of these films; the first of the Lord of the Rings trilogy was dark, with one thing in mind; getting to Mordor. The film was too light, and cheerful. I'm particularly confused about the Radagast character, a wizard who served as a mention only in the book. There is an entire subplot with him in this film, which isn't really relative other than to set up for a possible battle with the Necromancer, another character who NEVER appeared in the book except for a mention. All we knew then was that Gandalf had business to attend to south from the border of Mirkwood. All in all, great acting, Ian Mckellen reprises his role expertly. Seeing Christopher Lee return also was a nice move. Went on for too long, and making 3 movies is a sell out, it takes 9 hours or so to listen to the audiobook, I was hoping for an in depth film but all I got was a load of side stories not relevant. Also on a side note, the Android and iOS games were a good example of how much of a sell out this whole franchise is. Instead of an interesting and intense adventure game, we got a city building freemium game. I'd prefer spending £30 on a decent console game.

Some nice realisation of Tolkein's world, but simply too overblown. Jackson should have stuck to making a single film, rather than trying to stretch another Lord of the Rings trilogy out of this little story. The rot sets in here and it gets much worse in the following instalments, as the title character and central plot becomes forgotten amidst a mess of invented characters and scenarios taken from the pages of other books. In the words of Bilbo, it's "like butter stretched over too much bread."

ovviamente non potra essere mai come il signore degli anelli, ma siamo comunque su quei livelli. Peter jackson e riuscito a creare dopo ben 11 anni dalla prima trilogia le stesse ambientazioni e personaggi. Un film che merita :)
