At first glance, Peter Jackson’s film, “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” is simply a moneymaker. The effort to advertize the three epic series may seem a little overboard. Personally, the idea of transforming one book into a series of three movies may be a simple way to make money, but nevertheless, three extremely amazing movies. So far Peter Jackson has tainted the classic detailed novel, The Hobbit by: J.R.R Tolkien into an exhilarating film.

The story features a middle aged “House Hobbit”, Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), who is proper and enjoys his simple life, not needing any glitches or alterations in his daily life. Then, Gandalf (Ian McKellen), a curious wizard encounters the young Hobbit and sets him up for an adventure. The cordial Hobbit travels to his last nerve, living with thirteen dwarves and Gandalf.

The scenery in the film was fantastic. Each scene had its own beauty. From the verdant rolling hills of “The Shire” to the Battle of the Rock Giants, Peter Jackson keeps eyes open and eager with the astonishing scenery.
Although the story is quite exciting, some sections of the movie were a bit slow. Judging by the fact that the fantastic story has been transformed into three movies, the slow scenes may simply have been to procrastinate the time of the film in order to inherit more money.
Although the movie may have been a little slow for my taste overall, the film “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” was exhilarating, dramatic and a complete success.
