Tolkien made it seem like the party was in the forest for an eternity. Mirkwood is the most depressing part of Bilbo’s adventure. But, if Peter Jackson had this all planned out from the beginning, the humor of the first part of the Hobbit could be setting us up for the gloomy second part. Lord of the Rings did this in a tasteful way, and it was never the main focus of a scene, and while the Hobbit is a much more lighthearted tale, I think they focused too much on the humor. One part of the Hobbit I didn’t really enjoy was the constant one liners and witty rebuttals. Otherwise, how is the troop supposed to see the “Desolation of Smaug?” And if they are going to fit that much of the book into the second movie, Peter Jackson needs to make sure everything has an adequate amount of screen time. Just from the title I think it’s safe to say that Bilbo and the Dwarves are going to make it through Mirkwood forest, find the town of Dale, and make their way to the base of the mountain. The Hobbit should be its own series, and if it’s going to be a good one, there are a couple of things we need to see in the second part of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was no Lord of The Rings, and it shouldn’t be. It did a lot of things right and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, but there are some things that I think need to be changed or improved upon as the trilogy continues. I’d call the first part of the Hobbit a success.
