 The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, an Unexpected Surprise
Finally, after nine years of waiting, movie audiences are rewarded with a return to the
magical land of Middle-earth to experience the unexpected journey of Bilbo Baggins. Director
Peter Jackson's first installment of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit’ has accomplished not only what
he needed to, but much more. The story, always a children’s tale, is jovial compared to the somber-
toned Lord of the Rings trilogy and is f led with bumbling trolls and singing dwarves, who can
crack a few bad jokes.
Many detractors have complained that the movie does not follow the original storyline page
for page and indeed Jackson has caught some flack for adding characters such as Radagast the
Brown, the necromancer, Saruman, and Lady Galadriel. These critics may have lost sight of what
The Hobbit trilogy is actually trying to accomplish. The book itself is tiny and represents just a
small portion of the Lord of the Rings backstory. As a result, Jackson has placed more history into
the storyline of his film. Through The Hobbit trilogy he is trying to relate the rich history of
Middle-earth in full and can be considered a true Tolkien historian. Instead of detracting from the
story, it is praise to the author that the full story is being told.
Jackson also sparked controversy by filming the movie at a higher. than usual frame rate.
Typical movies are shot at 24 frames per second. In contrast, An Unexpected Journey was shot at
48 frames per second in 3-D giving the movie a more “lifelike” quality. The crispness of the picture
and the clarity is something that many viewers have preferred, instead of watching a video game
or HDTV. However, the 48 frames per second Movie was only available in select cities and only
in 3-D, so it was still easy to view the traditional 24 frames Per second version in 2-D.
Overall, the acing was superb. Martin Freeman in his breakout role as young Bilbo Baggins
and Richard Armitage as King Thonn Oaken shield complete a fine acting troupe alongside lan
McKellen and Andy Serkis, both reprising roles of Gandalf and Gollum. Somewhat intriguing was
that this set of actors resembled the School of Mines in that there is only one credited female lead
on the cast list: Cate Blanchett performing her reprise role of Lady Galadriel.
In the end, thus movie has accomplished much and even with its 58 score on Metacritic,
time will be the official judge. Once the next instalments are released, many critics may look back
and decide that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was also an unexpected surprise.
