No. \u00a0Not really. \u00a0Not even close. \u00a0We saw it last night. \u00a0Went to the old Strand Theater, with its newly\u00a0refurbished\u00a0bathrooms, and sat through the near three hour spectacle. \u00a0I can say it didn\u2019t suck. \u00a0Perhaps it\u2019s because I\u2019ve heard and read so much of the negative, I went into it with such low expectations, I was actually pleasantly surprised. \u00a0Surprised as long as I overlooked the typical Jacksonian way of over-directing just about every scene imaginable.<\/p>\n

For the most part, that\u2019s Jacksons\u2019s fatal flaw. \u00a0If a scene could be done in 30 seconds, he\u2019ll stretch it to a minute and a half. \u00a0If an event could be told in three quickly edited shots, he\u2019ll have eight or nine shots in a row, often simply duplicating each other. \u00a0If there is a chase scene that could last up to ten minutes, you can bet he\u2019ll stretch it out to 25, with most of the extra just repeating itself. \u00a0In the end, Jackson is not a good storyteller. \u00a0And his tendency to ramble is proof. <\/p>\n

To that end, many of the parts, such as the Dwarves\u2019 escape from the goblin caves, goes on so long you\u2019re eventually rooting for the goblins. \u00a0You\u2019re rooting for anyone who will end it all. \u00a0This, in addition to the cartoonish over-the-top CGI shots that eventually run together, cause some parts that could have been thrilling to watch seem interminable. \u00a0Scenes like that are a reminder that a substantial portion of Jackson\u2019s audience \u2013 at least in Jackson\u2019s mind \u2013 are those who think that The Empire Strikes Back<\/i> was the worst Star Wars<\/i> movie, and The Phantom Menace<\/i> was one of the greatest movies of all time. <\/p>\n

Other parts suffered the same fate, being drawn out far too long, or with too many\u00a0unnecessary\u00a0shots added. \u00a0The reliance on CGI villains takes away the humanity of the villains, and you really don\u2019t care that goblins by the truck load are falling to their deaths. \u00a0You don\u2019t care if ugly wolves are killed, orcs slain, or dwarves hacked to pieces. \u00a0It\u2019s all CGI. \u00a0Likewise, many of the CGI sets, while pretty to look at, are almost inherently shallow. \u00a0CGI sets remind me of that scene in the movie The Fly<\/i>, when Geena Davis eats a piece of teleported steak, then promptly spits it out, citing a \u2018synthetic\u2019 taste. \u00a0Same with CGI. \u00a0The\u00a0spectacularly\u00a0drawn CGI sets at Rivendell simply don\u2019t have the same real, gritty feel that the desert had in Raiders of the Lost Ark<\/i> \u2013 because that desert was real. \u00a0Likewise, when the villains die \u2013 even in the most spectacular fashion \u2013 there is a real response because they were real actors, as opposed to CGI effects.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

But some of this is simply the modern age. \u00a0Like it or not, most big budget movies are\u00a0becoming\u00a0nothing other than elongated video games with\u00a0occasional\u00a0human interaction. \u00a0It seems to be what people want, so it will be the way of things in the future. \u00a0Sadly, however, this lets some of the real talent of the\u00a0actors\u00a0get pushed to the sidelines. I think Martin Freeman was wonderful as Bilbo, though it would have been nice to have more of Bilbo in the actual movie. \u00a0And Richard Armitage was also a strong\u00a0presence\u00a0at Thorin, if not removed of his gray hair for Jackson\u2019s\u00a0belief\u00a0that the old folks are better as support cast rather than actual movers and shakers. \u00a0Ian McKellen was his usual capable self as Gandalf. \u00a0Hugo Weaving was a million times better as Elrond, and I wish they could\u00a0re-shoot\u00a0his scenes for Lord of the Rings\u00a0<\/i>now\u00a0that he\u2019s learned how not to roll his tongue on every consonant and stretch words out three times longer than needed.<\/p>\n

The rest of the cast was good for what was needed. \u00a0Nobody doubted that Andy Serkis would knock it out of the ballpark, and he did. \u00a0The climatic scene where Bilbo shows Gollum mercy is wonderfully done, and shows what this, and indeed all of Jackson\u2019s movies, could be if he trusted his actors, the source material, and quite frankly, trusted his audience to want more than just an ongoing forty minute video game.<\/p>\n

Still, as I said, my expectations were so low, that I was pleasantly surprised. \u00a0In the end, it was entertaining, if about 45 minutes longer than needed. \u00a0If Jackson shaved off 15% of most of his scenes, and eliminated a few altogether (Radagast\u2019s chase across the moors could be taken away and nothing lost), he could have had a tight, well told adaptation of Tolkien\u2019s classic children\u2019s book. \u00a0But then, of course, the cash cow factor comes in, and Jackson has to validate his decision to take a single children\u2019s book and stretch it across three three hour long epics.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Perhaps the biggest problem was, as with The Lord of the Rings<\/i>, that Jackson is a mile wide and an inch deep. \u00a0He just doesn\u2019t seem that\u00a0introspective,\u00a0 or given to long reflections on the nuances of his movies. \u00a0This is demonstrated in the movie\u2019s finale.

<\/b>Spoilers\u00a0<\/b>here, if you don\u2019t want to know how it ends. <\/p>\n

The movie finishes as the dwarves are rescued by the eagles. \u00a0Before the rescue, Jackson has a long, drawn out battle involving wolves and orcs and dwarves, including the movie\u2019s token bad-guy, Azog (from the LoTR appendixes). \u00a0There was a point, a moment, when the dwarves were all in one giant pine tree, and suddenly the tree broke from its roots and almost fell over a cliff, dangling precariously as the dwarves scrambled to hold on, that I said, \u2018dear me, let the eagles come now and rescue them, before Jackson messes something up.\u2019 <\/p>\n

But, alas, they did not come. \u00a0Azog \u2013 as Thorin\u2019s main\u00a0nemeses\u00a0\u2013 draws Thorin away from the tree, and the two enter into a dual to the death. \u00a0Just as Thorin lays wounded and helpless, ready to be beheaded at Azog\u2019s command \u2013 in leaps Bilbo to save the day! \u00a0He slays the servant orc, and buys enough time for the eagles to then arrive and carry them all to safety. \u00a0At that point, on the eagle\u2019s eyrie, Thorin takes back his doubts about \u00a0Bilbo and welcomes him\u00a0officially\u00a0into the company, letting all bygones be bygones.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the problem. The Hobbit<\/i>, unlike The Lord of the Rings<\/i>, was more fairy tale than myth
\n. \u00a0But it was still written by Tolkien, a brilliant scholar who was also wise\u00a0beyond\u00a0his subject matter. \u00a0A combination of a reflective mind and a life of hard knocks, Tolkien knew there was more to the world than CGI battles and riding off into the sunset or even saving the day, then going on about life raising a family and getting married. \u00a0In The Hobbit<\/i>, there are two people who learn lessons. \u00a0Bilbo learns more about himself than he thought, but in the end never loses the essential parts of who is he. \u00a0Thorin, on the other hand, learns the most. \u00a0Often frustrated at Bilbo, and at first distrustful of his usefulness, Thorin begins to warm to Bilbo until the very end, when Bilbo\u2019s attempts to reconcile clashing armies brings the wrath of Thorin down upon him. \u00a0As Bilbo gives away the Arkenstone, Thorin calls down curses on his former ally\u2019s name. <\/p>\n

Then, when the battle is over, and Thorin lays dying of his wounds, he has a chance to reconcile with Bilbo, finally realizing all that Bilbo had that Thorin had never learned. And he gives a final speech to Bilbo that rivals many a\u00a0Pulitzer\u00a0prize winning novel\u2019s dialogue:<\/p>\n

\u201cChild of the kindly West, I have come to know, if more of us valued your ways \u2013 food and cheer above hoarded gold \u2013 it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s the heart of the book. \u00a0Through it all,\u00a0Bilbo showed Thorin that it isn\u2019t gold and warfare that makes life, it\u2019s the simple things. \u00a0It\u2019s that walking stick instead of a sword. \u00a0It\u2019s that garden and\u00a0twilight\u00a0rather than gold and precious\u00a0gems\u00a0 \u00a0That is Thorin\u2019s redemption moment, and it comes as he reflects on all that Bilbo has shown him. \u00a0All that Bilbo demonstrated in his manners of peace and comfort. \u00a0Yes, Bilbo learns that there is a world out there he must sometimes confront, even if it means leaving that comfort that he holds so dear. \u00a0But he also never leaves the heart of what makes it dear in the first place, and its that clinging to the peaceful life that saves Thorin from the goldlust and material world perspectives that dominate his world view.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Now, Jackson has done two things. \u00a0First, he has reconciled Thorin and Bilbo very early on in the adventure. \u00a0Sure, Thorin can get mad again later, and then be reconciled again and again and\u00a0again\u00a0 \u00a0But this was such a finishing point in the movie, any later attempts will be, as my sons said, redundant. \u00a0Second, and this is the part I\u2019ve heard many criticize, Thorin accepts Bilbo because Bilbo saved his life, and he did it not through cleverness or wit, but by simply lunging at an orc and slaying him with a sword. \u00a0Bilbo became everything Thorin sees value in, and for that, and the simple fact of saving Thorin\u2019s life, Thorin accepts Bilbo as one of the company. <\/p>\n

How will this figure in the end? \u00a0Jackson could still manage to move the story around to come to that deathbed moment, but many doubt that Jackson has the depth or know-how. \u00a0For that matter, many I\u2019ve heard wonder if Jackson even gets it. \u00a0Does he get what he did to the ending? \u00a0A reader sent me his review of the movie some days ago. \u00a0This is his conclusion:<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I suppose since the tale is a straightforward kids\u2019 story, it was harder for Jackson to mess it up\u2013LOTR was obviously too complicated for him to \u2018get\u2019.
\u00a0But, and this is a major but, Jackson essentially made it into an modern action adventure story. It is no longer a kids\u2019 tale. You absolutely couldn\u2019t take any kids younger than their teens to see it, and even then they\u2019d have to be violence-desensitized kids. It has a lot of violence, far far too blood and guts for pre-teens.
\u00a0So, in a sense, Jackson still just \u201cdoesn\u2019t get it\u201d.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

In that sense, I think he\u2019s correct. \u00a0Jackson, at the end of the day, approaches Tolkien\u2019s works with the mind of a child, and that\u2019s a shame. \u00a0Since Tolkien wrote his books \u2013 The Hobbit<\/i> at least \u2013 for\u00a0children\u00a0 but with the \u00a0mind of an adult. At this point, then, I will probably still look to Rankin\/Bass for the\u00a0definitive\u00a0version of the book, and Jackson when I want a drawn out adventure yarn that bears a striking resemblance to ideas from Tolkien\u2019s fictional world.<\/p>\n

By the way: Side note. \u00a0I notice that most of the names from Tolkien\u2019s works prompt a spelling error on my blog, including Gandalf, Elrond, and Gollum. \u00a0On the other hand, just about every name from Harry Potter is accepted. \u00a0Sign of the times I guess, and it could explain a little about Jackson\u2019s mentality when it comes to who he makes movies for.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
