The interactive game of LEGO The Hobbit allows gamers to play along with their favorite scenes from the films, and follows the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins as he is recruited by the Wizard Gandalf to aid Thorin Oakenshield and his Company of Dwarves.īilbo leaves the comforts of the Shire on a journey through Middle-earth to help the Dwarves reclaim their lost Kingdom of Erebor within the Lonely Mountain. The demo works for Windows (8, 7, XP, Vista) but not for MAC.įrom the makers of the immensely popular LEGO® The Lord of the Rings, comes LEGO® The Hobbit, inspired by the first two films in The Hobbit Trilogy: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and the upcoming The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, productions of New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (MGM) as well as the collection of LEGO The Hobbit constructions sets. Technically you can fault the movie and the extended version was quite nice to see (so I guess it wasn't a literal rewatch - no pun intended).Whilst traversing High Pass over The Misty Mountains, Thorin Oakenshield and his company of Dwarves accidentally set up camp on top of a secret entranceway in to Goblin Town. The player is tasked with battling the Goblin King and then navigating the perilous gangways and boardwalks of Goblin Town in a frenzied escape. The demo is available for PC and needs to be installed for you to play this awesome level. Not that many movies have adapted that style (I reckon Avatar 2 will), but it is what it is. I can attest that I reckon I got used to the Higher Frame Rate the movie uses. I guess I do that with big budget movies. I will obviously watch the other parts too and I'm pretty sure they will up the ante Edit: rewatching it a decade later, I realize I may have been a bit too harsh on the rating. It is well played and it has the beginning of a great adventure, but it feels a bit over bloated. Apart from the technical point of view, this is a well made movie, but it never completely touched me. I think your eyes have to get used to that (in comparison to normal frames per Second that every other movie uses). Also the very HD 3D (or should I say the extra FPS) we got served made the movie feel like it was on fast forward. But what about the movie? It feels fun and it looks good (once you get used to the HD framing, which makes a few props look very plastic).

Which he must have done, because how could you make 3 movies/parts out of one book? That is smaller in size than the original Rings trilogy that is. He apparently also put other Tolkien related stuff in it.

It's a big scene and it feels like Peter Jackson put almost everything in it. And it seems, like almost everyone of those pages turns out to be in the movie. I never came around to read the LotR books before watching the movies and I actually haven't done that until now (so maybe shame on me), but I did read 30-40 pages of the Hobbit.
