In one week JRR Tolkien’s fabled
world finds it’s way back to the big screen with ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected
Journey’. As a prequel to the ‘ The Lord of the Rings’, Variety’s Peter Debruge
firstly praises director Peter Jackon for delivering “more of what made his earlier trilogy so
compelling -- colorful characters on an epic quest amid stunning New Zealand
scenery” then goes on by
criticizing the film’s lack of originality, making him skeptical that ‘The
Hobbit’ will have the same substance that could extend the tale into 2 more riveting
installments. Nevertheless, whatever the critics say, an escape that takes you on a journey through Tolkien's Middle Earth will always be a worthwhile adventure.
