Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" let the whole world see the great revolution of the Hollywood film industry. This set of handed down works is perfect, and each scene is unique. Although the cake distribution problem eventually caused Peter Jackson to quarrel with his old club’s new line, the unprecedented commercial success of the movie version of "The Lord of the Rings" and the slightly dull prequel "The Hobbit" was finally brought out. .
A novel of "The Hobbit" was split into two super-long episodes, and then a third episode was made that bridged the two fantasy literatures of China. This approach can be regarded as a thirst quenching for movie fans, but at the same time it is inevitable that people Some doubts about the degree of irrigation of the film. It turns out that this worry is not redundant.
At 48 frames, Red’s latest 3D digital camera and other gimmicks have made movie fans ecstatic. The effect of the film really does not disappoint. The film itself failed to surpass the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy". From a production perspective, "The Hobbit" is just a consumer product that wins box office dividends under the banner of "Lord of the Rings" prequel.
Limited by the original novel, the story of "The Hobbit" cannot reproduce the magnificent scene of the Middle-earth world where the good and kind people gather and fight against evil organizations, and there is no deep reflection on human greed, selfishness, and cowardice, so Peter Jackson used a lot of space. Irrigation, it took a lot of time to introduce the dwarf in the title, and the character of the dwarf was not introduced with a lot of space. The film describes Gandalf's inner activities to zero, which makes Gandalf's matchmaking of the revenge team seem somewhat lacking in obvious motivation. So Gandalf became an obvious role that could be taken away, and he seemed so dispensable. Although Bilbo Baggins is a narrator, he is also superfluous. The sturdy dwarves don't seem to need the help of this easy-going hillbilly, and Baggins's motivation to abandon the fireplace for an expedition also failed to deal with it.
Except for the exciting old faces such as Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf and Elf King Elon, it is the action scenes after the expedition that wakes the audience up. The evasive battle with the orcs and the wits and courage with the giants are very refreshing. The orcs riding the war wolf are very powerful in combat and full of visibility. Fighting wits with giants is more like "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", except that the pan in the film is Gandalf. The animal world of the gray-robed wizard is full of natural humor, just like the pastoral scenery of the Hobbit, adding a bit of childlike and bright colors to the whole film. However, the film takes a heavy line as a whole, and the appearance of this character seems a bit uncomfortable. The battle with the Fairy King in the Underground World of the Misty Mountains is the largest battle scene in the film, but the thrilling level is slightly average. Many goblins seem to be sickly but lack the necessary medical protection, and are seriously vulnerable.
Groom's appearance was the highlight of the whole film, but this mental illness was a bit too chatty. After playing with the cunning Baggins for a long time, he made a sharp turn and slowed down the rhythm of the film again. The bridge where the dwarf climbs the tree is the climax of the film. This scene puts the protagonists in a real crisis, and establishes the friendship between Baggins and the dwarf prince, which is a highlight of the whole film. Gandalf once again played Big Bird to reduce the difficulty of the adventure. In this prequel, Gandalf is too skillful and more like a god, he makes risky behavior stupid and meaningless.
Compared with the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" ten years ago, the special effects of "The Hobbit" have been significantly improved. Motion capture technology allows the director to no longer rely on makeup, which allows many villains to achieve various physical possibilities, and the visual effects of the entire film look more dreamy. It's just that this time there is no complicated relationship between characters and strong dramatic conflicts. Peter Jackson can only focus on various visual landscapes and gags. This makes "The Hobbit" lose a lot of artistic value and become a series of ordinary commercial films aimed at collecting money.
