Movie Reviews of The Hobbit
Movie Review: Excellent DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful Rankin Bass version of the Hobbit, done in true Rankin/Bass style. Some Tolkien fans dislike it because it moves too quickly or due to the childish portrayal of the story in some respects (it was marketted more to children after all) it is a wonderfully done animated movie.The DVD version actually surprised me a good deal. The video transfer was much better then I had anticipated, especially for a 30 year-old movie. The quality of the video and audio is top-notch and should be a noticeable improvement over the VHS edition. If you're a Tolkien fan this DVD is an excellent addition to any DVD library even if you already own the VHS edition. The extra features are a bit dissapointing because they are only trivia tidbits it is still an excellent DVD for it's price.
Movie Review: Better Than the book
Summary: 5 Stars
The Cartoon mobie is full of action an adventures. This movie had be at aw from the giant spiders to Smaug. The charaters voice are woonderful. Golloum is marvelous he is terryfying and scary looking. Some thing s from the book like the skin Channger have been cut out. Smaug is very well petrayed he is evil nasty and wicked. If I had a website for the 300 evils villians sSmaug would be the 12th. Smaug is evil but I have seen better betrayted villians.
The spiders are huge an intimidate the trolls look realistic. There has been to know plans to remake it yet that I am aware of. If you like this I also recommend Willow which is similar to the Hobbit. As for the Lord of the rings I recomend the remakes the original is okey but not as good.
Movie Review: The Hobbit
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Hobbit" is a great animated movie classic for you and the entire family to watch and enjoy! It is filled with adventure, fantasy, and excitement. "The Hobbit" animated movie is a great adaptation of the author J.R.R. Tolkiens book "The Hobbit or There And Back Again" which I have read. There are many fantasy characters from the book that are in this great animated movie. And those fantasy characters are: trolls; goblins; a terrible creature called Gollum; huge spiders; elves; a dragon; a hobbit; a wizard; and dwarves. I highly recommend you buy this movie for DVD or VHS if you are a "Lord of the Rings" book trilogy, or movie trilogy, fan. "The Hobbit", as you probably already know, is a prequel to "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy.Movie Review: Yes!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't see what is so wrong with this movie:The Hobbit, based on the classic by J.R.R. Tolkien, is a movie with many charms of its own. It features a delightful, if not all-star cast, exceptionally good animation and, most importantly, a good adaption.
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit, who likes nothing but to blow smoke rings and to enjoy meals in his hobbit hole. One day, Gandalf the Grey, the wandering wizard askes Bilbo to join him and his dwarves on a dark and dangerous adventure to recapture a treasure stolen from them so many years ago.
This delightful feature only has a few minor differences than the book, and is a worthy film for fans who have read the book and wish to add more to their middle-earth experience.
Movie Review: TOTAL nostalgia purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the animated Hobbit that used to be shown on TV in the 70s and 80s -- I rememberbeing allowed to stay up late to see it. I bought it for nostalgia purposes, and I still enjoy it.
The movie is missing some plot from the original book -- in particular, the entire scene with Beorn before they get to Mirkwood. And the cliffhanger commercial breaks are obvious and a little eye-rolling.
However, this movie does a good job conveying the heroism of the book, and it creates a memorable personality for each of the main characters: Bilbo, Gandalf, and Gollum.
It's scary for little-little kids, but my second-grader really enjoys it.
