TITLE: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Many people get that amazing feeling when you accomplish something multiple times or experience it for the first time. Maybe it is only one specific time it has happened, and you search for many ways to feel that feeling again. For the first time, I watched the movie The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, directed by Peter Jackson. This film was based on the fantasy book, The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. The movie is a perfect example of what obstacles you have to go through and the fears you have to defeat to accomplish what you want. Peter Jackson, demonstrates in the movie, that sometimes it is just a mental block, or a little voice in your head that you need to ignore. The Hobbit, takes place in the Middle Earth in 2941 to 2942. Bilbo, the twelve Dwarves, Thorin, and Gandalf are all on a journey to Lonely Mountain to claim the the treasure. Bilbo Baggins, is played by Martin Freeman. Bilbo, was the …show more content…

The group of people who would like this movie would be ones who have strong morals and values and enjoy fantasy. People who enjoy geeky things like Trolls, Elves, Goblins, Dwarves and etc, this movie would be great to watch. There are some battles, but it is not all bloody and gory, which most people like. If you are into battles, or wars that are bloody and gory, this movie would not be something you would want to watch and you would think is boring. Also, others who are not strong about morals or their values, I would not recommend this movie for them to watch. The MPAA rating of this movie is PG-13, because of some of the battle parts, and there is some alcohol and drugs in it. There are also some frightening and intense scenes. My final word on this movie, is that it was really good and I would recommend it to a lot of people and I would like to watch it

    The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien is said to be one of the greatest children's novels of all time. The novel, due to its use of such characters as goblins, elves, trolls, giants, and others is in tradition, a fairy tale. The tale centers on a small hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins. It follows the journey of a band of dwarves, a wizard named Gandalf, and their robber, Bilbo on their way to retrieving treasure that had long been taken away from them. The hobbit traveled all over Middle-Earth, beginning with Bilbo's tiny hobbit-hole in the ground, to Mirkwood forest, to finally reaching the Mountain in which the dragon Smaug lives. Tolkien uses a large amount of imagery in his writing which can been seen through settings in The Hobbit. The imagery is usually either dark or light, depending on Bilbo's mood and contrast of his surroundings. J.R.R Tolkien uses dark and light imagery in The Hobbit to effectively set an eerie and mysterious mood and to foreshadow events such as Bilbo's journey in Mirkwood and his adventure in the Mountain.

    The Hobbit, written by John R. R. Tolkien, is a fantasy novel published on September 21, 1937. It was written as a prelude to the famous series, The Lord of the Rings, written seventeen years later. The Hobbit introduces the reader to an incredibly immersive fantasy world, that enriches the reader into its epic storyline. The story takes place in a land called Middle-earth, a land filled with enchanting surprises and magical wonders. It was the perfect playground for Tolkien to develop his main character Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo Baggins was a small hobbit, who unaware in the beginning would become a large role in the plot. It is through this character that Tolkien implemented the theme of heroism into the story. Bilbo’s unexpected adventure with the dwarves and the wizard gave him the opportunity to develop into the ultimate hero of Tolkien’s tale. Bilbo’s epic journey to become the hero of the story begins when Gandalf, the wizard, tells Bilbo of an expedition that would soon change his life forever.

    ...r, this movie is lack of depth of storyline. The audiences can even predict what will happen in the next scenes. Moreover, the ending of this movie is too cheesy and irrational according to me. If only they change the ending to become more interesting and rational, I will give a four or five stars out of five. In spite of a lame twist ending, this movie is a perfect example to show that managers should be able to motivate and challenge their employee. It is important to remember that a happy employee means a productive employee.

    To conclude, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" is among the best movies ever inspired by a video game. It does not include fight actions only, but also, the theme and the plot are well-written, creating a compact story. Although its rating PG-13 or intense sequences of violence and action, the fighting scene is not so violent compare to other action films. So I believe this film is generally accepted. Its action scenes and CGI sequence are nice. At the end of the adventure, justice stands and sacrifice worth. To be frank. Not many people are actions fans, but combined with a little romance and the positive messages brought out. It should be accepted by general and this film will definitely have a distinct evaluation.
