The Hobbit

A little bit off topic, but its just too good for not mentioning it. 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' has hit theaters and it most definitely is worth watching. R. J. J. Tolkien's tale, on which the movie is based, tells the reader the story of what happened before the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy is taking place. In his novel we get to know how the dwarfs lost their kingdom and fought to get it back from dragons and Orcs. Most importantly for the trilogy however, is that the hobbit Bilbo gets in the possession of Gollum's 'precious' ring. To find out whether young hobbit Bilbo, who travels with the dwarfs and seeks to help them get back their gold and ultimately their kingdom, will succeed you will have to wait for the next movies..

Peter Jackson has followed his tradition of overlong movies with a lot of action and picturesque scenery. In his opinion, there simply is too much going on for one movie. Although some critics state that he is overusing battle scenes and extending the plot far too long (Tolkien's Hobbit is only about 300 pages long, but there are three movies that have well over 120 minutes), all people I've asked thus far have told me how great it was. So I guess we all have to check it out ourselves and make up our own opinion about the movie. If you do not want to have to listen to voice overs, you should make a trip to the Streit's movie theater at Jungfernstieg and make it soon for the theater will be closing next year.
