the hobbit: the desolation of smaug (2013). directed by peter jackson.

i feel the film is all about form with little substance. it's fine film making, but it's a bit light. 

the hobbit: an unexpected journey (2012). directed by peter jackson.

good movie, but not as good as the lord of the rings trilogy (2001-2003). some scenes are way too long for its own good that it shifted the focus of the movie. by the time the credit rolled, i was surprised that there will be a part two and three. darn, no wonder it felt so long. 

the lord of the rings: the fellowship of the ring (2001). directed by peter jackson.

Bilbo: [voice] It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no telling where you might be swept off to.

what a movie. it's 10 years old, this year.
