"Welcome to the world of your
childhood dreams!" This should be the greeting the agents/ushers in the
movie saloons should say to all who go to see the 2nd part of one of the most famous
fairy-tales... And this greeting won’t be
exaggerated as the movie is so magnificently well-made that one feels like a
part of the fairy-tale itself...
Despite all the incredible, though
extremely dangerous, adventures of the thirteen dwarves, the wise wizard and
the young hobbit, the amazing special effects and the great costumes, the next
part of the faity-tale would probably disappoint some of Tolkien’s fans when they find out it has little in common with the book. Yet, I guess
when they see the amazing way the director and the other creators of the movie revived
the story, they all would be in awe of all the dangers, well-developed dialogues,
the incredible creatures, etc…
Contrary to the book, the new part of The Hobbit is not for kids again,
even more than the 1st An Unexpected Journey. It’s much darker and
more serious than the fairy-tale written on paper, with some new characters
that were not present in the book, with a lot of new scenes and events, which
were just mentioned but not described in J. R. Tolkien masterpiece (like the
meeting with Sauron’s spirit and his subordinates, the events that lead to Thorin’s
nickname, etc). A lot of the well-known adventures are developed to such an
extent that at moments one feels that it’s a totally new story. But all that is
so well-combined with the rest of the movie it makes it worthy of more
admiration.
The new characters (not mentioned in the book) are so well created that
they all become an essential part of all the dangerous and incredible adventures.
I bet
even the author would like the excellent fighter, the she-elf Tauriel (the
great-looking Evangelyn Lily, a star from Lost)
and her impossible love with the dwarf Kily, the dreadful white orc Azog and
his incredible strength and ability to endure the constant pain of the
prosthesis stuck in his cut arm, etc... Not to mention the many battle scenes
that are so well-created they are almost impossible to achive in real life.
When all these details are combined with
the 3 D motion picture, the experience in
the movie salons becomes a dream come true… After all those complains about 3 D
effects that tire our eyes, I would say The Hobbit would be a good reason to
buy a 3 D TV set. Watching such movies at home could be accompanied with some
rests from time to time and we could enjoy all the magnificence of the genre
without being afraid about our eyesight so much?
Finally, I would like to point out that both the parts of The Hobbit’s
movies are not for kids. There are too many and too vicious battle scenes and
merciless killings, so I guess a lot of the younger fans would have sleep
trouble after 2,30 – 2,40 hours spent at the movie salon…
