The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Extended Edition)(AZ/Bilbo Gollum Statue/3DBD/DVD/UV)

Review: Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Extended Edition) - First, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey itself I greatly enjoyed. It was a worthy successor to Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings movies, despite the fact that Peter Jackson took a few more creative liberties with An Unexpected Journey (and after watching the second movie, it is clear with the entire Hobbit trilogy) than he did with The Lord of the Rings. Despite the changes, Peter Jackson still keeps the same feel from the original Lord of the Rings movies, the characters mostly fit with how you'd imagine them from reading the story (or at least they did for me), and many of the scenes have fairly clear reasons for why they were altered. In The Lord of the Rings and in The Hobbit, some of the scenes Jackson had to move along more quickly in the movies than they had moved in the book, and in The Hobbit, Jackson is trying to tie the story far more to The Lord of the Rings than the book did, which is the reason for many of the more drastic changes. However, the movie still keeps the general story line intact. As far as the extended edition scenes, on my first viewing I thought almost all of them were fairly poorly worked in, but much like The Hobbit soundtracks, I warmed up to them after watching the extended edition two to three times. Extended edition scene spoilers: The extended edition scenes I liked from the beginning were many of the Rivendell scenes, especially with Bilbo and Elrond, which connect The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey to Bilbo's eventual moving to Rivendell in The Fellowship of the Ring. I also enjoyed the scene near the beginning with Bilbo buying food in Hobbiton, and briefly worried that a blue hat-like figure was Gandalf (it was actually another hobbit carrying some sort of laundry basket or something). I also did enjoy the Rivendell scene where Bofur sings a version of the 'Man in the Moon' song Frodo sang in Bree in The Fellowship of the Ring book, and though I still feel the extra dwarf scenes around there weren't worked in the best, I now feel they were worked in better than I had when I first watched the extended edition. Probably the scenes that changed the most in how much I liked them were the extra content in the intro. I initially felt that they were worked in awkwardly and made an already long intro drag even more, but after watching the intro a few more times I felt that they were actually worthwhile additions, especially since they weren't very long, and were actually worked in fairly well. There are two extended edition scenes, however, that I still feel are a bit of a disappointment. The first is right before entering Rivendell, Bilbo turns to Gandalf and tells him he can feel something, and Gandalf tells him fairly mysteriously and actually somewhat creepily that what he feels is a very powerful magic. This scene seemed somewhat awkward and I understand why they cut it for the theatrical edition. My least favorite added scene was the goblin-town scene. I enjoyed the music and am glad I saw the part, but unlike many of the other extended scenes where it was clear they had actually tapped the longer scenes and then cut them down for the theatrical edition, the goblin-town scene with the goblin-king seems like they had an ALTERNATIVE scene they had made and tried to put them both together. It would have worked far better put in some sort of bonus or alternative scene area on the disc instead of into the movie, but I'm pretty sure Peter Jackson and his group will never use the alternative scene idea and will stick with extended editions since they seem to like extended editions so much. SECOND MOVIE SPOILER: After watching The Desolation of Smaug (which was a great sequel), I also noticed that at least one of the extended scenes (and I thought I had thought of two scenes earlier, but only one is coming to me at the moment) hinted at events to happen in the second movie. The scene I am referring to is the scene with the dwarves in Rivendell where Kili jokes about how he doesn't find elf-maidens very attractive because he prefers his women with lots of facial hair, but there was one specific "elf-maiden" he joked he thought was attractive at the dinner. Another dwarf (I think it was Oin) said that the elf was actually an elf-(dude? man? guy? not sure what the male version of "maiden" in elf-maiden would be) and all the other dwarves laugh. This scene, at least to me, seems to hint at the semi-romance between Kili and Tauriel in the second movie. CONCLUSION: In my opinion the extended version of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is well worth getting over the theatrical version. The theatrical version was around 2.5 hours, and the extended edition only adds 12 minutes to that, so it would be pretty hard to screw up the entire movie with them. Also, most of the extra scenes were well worth adding, and even the not-so-great additions like the goblin-king extra scenes were still very interesting to watch despite them not fitting the best into the movie. So I would highly recommend getting The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and would highly recommend the version you get be the extended edition. Enjoy Middle-Earth, and "May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks." - Gandalf, The Hobbit book by J.R.R. Tolkien
Review: It's Hobbit Time - When I first learned a few years ago that they were making a Hobbit film I was ecstatic. The Fellowship of the Ring was released in 2001 and I literally “grew up” with the Lord of the Rings (LOTR) trilogy. However, I then learned that Peter Jackson decided to split the book up into three movies. My first thought was “greedy Hollywood scoundrels” but nonetheless I was still excited to see the films. After my initial viewing of An Unexpected Journey in theaters last December and my recent viewing of the extended edition, I see why there are three movies and I am 100% behind the decision. Peter Jackson has used The Hobbit films to not only tell the story of the popular novel, but also to expand upon and provide an in-depth build-up to The Lord of the Rings trilogy. As with the previous extended editions of the original trilogy; The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Extended Edition adds more plot details and provides a healthy amount of fan service. First of all, the extended edition features excellent editing. You have to really be watching for the additional and extended scenes as they are perfectly edited into the film. There is no visual quality drop and the score is beautifully composed to make the work feel whole. The film looks amazing with great use of CGI, makeup, and costumes. I know many people were disappointed with the increased CGI when compared to the LOTR trilogy, but it does not take away from the experience for me. The film itself is an impressive feat; however, unlike the original trilogy extended editions, this extended edition doesn’t make the film better. It does not make the film worse, it just does not add anything as monumental as “The Mouth of Sauron” was in The Return of the King extended edition. A little over half of the 13 additional minutes are of the dwarves and goblins singing and doing other silly acts for comic relief. This adds a lighter feel to the film that makes it feel more like the novel and less like The Lord of the Rings. As for the film itself, it is phenomenal. The film stands up to the LOTR trilogy and is a worthy addition to the franchise. Casting was done brilliantly, with Martin Freeman as Bilbo and Richard Armitage as Thorin stealing the show. The action, while not as real as in the LOTR trilogy due to increased CGI, was exciting and plentiful. Howard Shore also continues his fine work in the franchise composing a wonderful score blending in new sounds along with bringing back some of the familiar themes from the original trilogy. The original source material from the novel is done justice along with added material present to help set up the LOTR trilogy. All of this combines into a satisfying package that makes me excited to see the remaining two chapters. While I cannot say that this extended edition is the absolute best version of the film, it is not any worse than the others. This version adds onto an already fantastic work, and hardcore fans of the franchise would do themselves justice watching this version of the film. Score: 9/10 Note: This Blu-ray also comes with two additional discs featuring Hours of behind the scenes content that I personally have not viewed yet. As most people will be purchasing this product for the actual film I did not deem it necessary to include the extra content in my review.

*by L***S on January 18, 2014*

i love tolkien and have quite some collectibles already (books, cds, blu-rays). this one is special, though. i bought this extended version with the limited edition bilbo/gollum statue in december but only got around watching it yesterday. and this is my first amazon review EVER. THE MOVIE: by far not the best tolkien movie by peter jackson (sort of excusable since "the hobbit" falls very short when compared to LOTR). it just takes so long for things to happen and evolve. caught myself looking at the watch a couple of times! but it is so beautifully made! especially towards the end; such beautiful shots! and also themes that are of great importance to tolkien are beautifully represented (courage in face of great danger; good x evil not being a battle of power/strength; believing in the good in people; arrogance, pride and greed leading to madness and wickedness; etc.). personally, i just love the way they respect and value some "stupid" details: "in a hole in the ground lived a hobbit" was the first line of the tolkien saga ever to be written; and they introduce and value it beautifully. THE EXTENDED VERSION: what to expect of an extended version of an already too slowly paced movie?! lots of important/funny/revealing scenes cut from the theatrical version; absolutely a must have! i actually caught myself being far less bored than during the theatrical version. now there's a surprise! THE SOUNDTRACK: howard shore (who already had written 88[!!!!!!!] musical themes for LOTR) wrote one of the most beautiful themes ever which is the song thorin sings in bilbo's house and then becomes a recurrent theme throughout the movie. simply beautiful. for those of you who aren't aware, shore creates a series of related musical themes that underline important information from the story. what i do NOT understand at all (and probably appalled shore himself) was the use of the nazgûl theme at the end of the movie, when thorin faces azog the defiler. as soon as the song started i naturally expected a nazgûl to appear, following the logic of the tolkien/shore/jackson soundtracks so far. of course a nazgûl at that point is absurd. i had hoped that they would correct that for the extended version, but that was not the case. :/ THE BILBO/GOLLUM STATUE: the actual reason i purchased this version was because of the statue. unfortunately i didn't pay attention that there was also the same statue on the 5-disc blu-ray extended version; i would've gotten that one. the statue is BEAUTIFUL! i didn't really know what to expect. but it is now the center piece of the (upright) piano that belongs to my wife in our living room and she had no objections to that, lol! (needless to say she is not the biggest tolkien fan) VERY IMPORTANT: amazon does not state the languages featured in this extended blu-ray. there are 3 spoken languages: english, french and portuguese!!! and 4 different subtitle versions: english, french, spanish and portuguese! i have many friends in brazil who would have bought it had they known. well… bad for you, amazon.com! 5 stars not for the movie, but this extended limited edition blu-ray! =)
