So yesterday I finally got around and watched the first Hobbit movie; The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. And no, I did not read the original book.
Eh, I kinda like it. The actors did a good job on their part, and they have good chemistry. The dwarfs didn't make much of an impression on me though, even if they all looked the part and delivered a few laughs. Also, I don't know about you, but after seeing the main cast survive the impossible for like a third or fourth time I was like "eh, no matter what happens they are gonna do alright". The only scene where I felt had actual tension and uncertainity was the scene where Gollum shows up.
Also, the CGI was... eh. At least the effects and colors mixed nicely so I guess that's neat. The fact that Jackson used real locations also helps.
Hopefully things start to get real by the second film.
