So I saw The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey a few hours ago. I must say I don't agree with the negative reception some people gave it. It is still an epic adventure that entertains vastly beyond most other movies. It's far from perfect though, and it seems Jackson does not have that many new ideas to offer, at least with this movie. Apparently there will be 2 more Hobbit films too, and I hope Jackson lends an ear to the critics and tries to make it a bit less typical next time.
