Review: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Dec. 14th, 2012 02:53 pmI’ll admit to feeling excited but also a bit apprehensive about watching The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey because I am such a fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It literally changed my life. That movie and all its homoeroticism and hurt/comfort elements were what caused me to seek out fandom before I even knew what fan fiction was; I just knew I wanted more, and the movies had whetted my appetite for content that the original novels left me wanting. So how can a prequel ever measure up?
Well, it really can’t, quite, but I believe that it has come as damn close as possible while still being, you know, a representation of another novel. I loved it.
( Major Hobbity spoilers; please watch the movie first! )
So, yeah, I loved this movie and am going to see it again very soon and can’t wait for the sequel. A whole year?!?!
