IT'S NOT THAT I DISLIKED THE HOBBIT, IT'S JUST THAT I DIDN'T LIKE IT AS MUCH AS I WANTED TO. IT'S NEARLY 3 HOURS LONG. THE LORD OF THE RINGS FILMS WERE ALSO 3 HOURS LONG, BUT THEY DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT. THE HOBBIT SEEMS BLOATED. THE EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE COULD PROBABLY HAVE BEEN TOLD IN 2 HOURS. MAYBE LESS...I THINK THE WHOLE BOOK COULD BE FIT INTO TWO HOURS. THERE IS A LOT OF PADDING FOR A FILM THAT IS BASICALLY A PRETTY TRAVELOGUE. IT IS A LOT LIKE THE LORD OF THE RINGS...IN PLOT, AND TONE, BUT THERE IS PRECIOUS LITTLE SUBSTANCE...PETER JACKSON IS STRETCHING THIS INTO THREE MOVIES? HE WANTS TO MAKE THE HOBBIT A HABIT. BUT IT'S REALLY MORE OF A BORE...3 1/2 STARS OUT OF 5
WHILE HITCHCOCK IS KIND OF FUN, IT NEVER QUITE RINGS TRUE. FIRSTLY, THE MAKEUP IS WEIRD. IT IS ALWAYS ANTHONY HOPKINS WITH A BUNCH OF LATEX ON HIS FACE. SECOND, HOPKINS DOES MORE OF AN IMPRESSION THAN AN EMBODIMENT - WE NEVER FEEL LIKE THIS IS A REAL PERSON...HE JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET OUT OF THE LATEX AND INTO THE PERSON. HELLEN MIRREN PLAYS HITCHCOCK'S WIFE AND IS THE STRENGTH OF THE MOVIE. SHE ADDS AN ELEMENT OF HUMAN FEELING THAT SAVES THE FILM FROM ITSELF. IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE THE TRUE STORY OF THE MAKING OF AN ICONIC MOVIE - PSYCHO. HITCHCOCK IS WELL MEANING, BUT HALF-COCKED,
3 STARS OUT OF 5
