00:00The Hobbit is a complicated novel to adapt, not because it's too short or too long.

00:04Personally, I don't think that the number of pages should define the length of the adaptation,

00:08but simply the director's vision, and what stone he wants to bring to the building.

00:11With one paragraph from the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, one could make a trilogy.

00:15It would be enough to develop a story around that.

00:17But that's also where the difficulty lies, and in The Hobbit it's the same.

00:20For example, the book decides to develop the company of dwarves as a whole,

00:23where the film must offer them more substance individually.

00:27Logical, otherwise we would have a troop that we don't care about.

00:28Although some dwarves were not allowed to develop.

00:31Like him there, or him, I don't even know who he is.

00:33From this point on, we can say that the length of the film is justified.

00:36Fleshing out characters is important, but Peter Jackson, the eternal child, wants to have fun with his characters.

00:42And he will especially justify this length by putting them in awkward situations,

00:45which will lead to completely crazy action sequences.

00:47Because, well, even if you have to be in Middle Earth to make a film that will be controversial anyway,

00:52might as well have fun, and in terms of regressive pleasure and mind-blowing scenes, the film stands there.

00:57The sequence in the Black Forest has a beautiful atmosphere.

00:59Giving spiders a voice with the ring is pretty clever.

01:02But beyond all that, it's especially at this moment that I think we can realize what Martin Freeman brings to his character.

01:08When he retrieves the ring after slaughtering some absolutely terrifying baby spider,

01:13I would have smoked it without the ring myself.

01:14We can see all the emotions that go through the character.

01:17Satisfaction, hatred, incomprehension, stupor.

01:21He has a very mannered way of acting, you can't say he gestures.

01:24But what is certain is that he uses his body a lot to convey emotions.

01:27Same goes for facial expressions.

01:29He would have been a great silent actor with his own unique facial expressions.

01:34Besides, while we're on the subject of silent films, why not mention the barrel scene?

01:40Which recalls the finest hours of Buster Keaton and which Peter Jackson serves us as a very sweet treat that we will definitely enjoy tasting.

01:47This sequence is a merry-go-round that only Jackson knows the secret to.

01:50Full of staging ideas, ultra fluid, with almost perfect management of space, one of the director's strong points.

01:56All the sliders are pushed to their maximum to make this scene an example of the genre.

02:00Which once again gives a real lesson in terms of infusing a sequence with truly epic discoveries.

02:04And then apart from all that, we have a blast.

02:07And this is perhaps the most important.

02:08Maybe that's what people sometimes forget to do in movies.

02:11Have fun.

02:11After all, having fun doesn't mean becoming blind to everything that's wrong.

02:14And in the desolation of Smog, there are things that are wrong.

02:17The film has a soft underbelly.

02:18The whole city sequence is way too drawn out.

02:20Although there are still some testicular moments in the extended version that are well worth lingering over.

02:38Proof that at least one person had fun with this film is Peter Jackson.

02:47The real negative point is the not-at-all-well-done romance between Toriel and Kili.

02:52Forced on by the production, much to the dismay of the writers and Evangeline Lilly who were mainly there to fumble with the orca.

02:59Now, contrary to appearances, there are a lot of built sets and real sets, and this for all three films.

03:04It's paired with green screen, of course, but for certain sequences, it's a bit obligatory.

03:08Now, there is still some real goldsmith work from the artists at Weta Workshop.

03:12Who also have to constantly work under pressure, but who always do it so well.

03:16In any case, if there is one element that is not a weak point, it is Smog.

03:20The visual work on the character is insane.

03:22The dragon appears so tangible that one feels its immense strength, size and weight through the screen.

03:28It is performed by Benedict Cumberbatch who lends his voice to the dragon,

03:31but also certain expressions thanks to in-depth work

03:34where the British actor will not hesitate to crawl in tights to give body to the antagonist of this opus.

03:42The whole sequence between the dragon and the Hobbit is masterful.

03:54The sound work on Smog's voice is truly incredible.

03:57Besides, it's time to salute the French version of the trilogy which is a great success.

04:00and Jérémy Covillo, the French voice of Smog, has nothing to envy the actor who plays Sherlock Holmes.

04:05Smog is a great success, without doubt the most beautiful dragon in cinema,

04:09which alone justifies the existence of this trilogy.

04:11When I saw the film in the cinema, I really liked what I saw.

04:14And when Smog was about to attack the city, I was 300% into it.

04:18So much so that it could have lasted an hour longer and I wouldn't have minded.

04:21But it ends there, with a cliffhanger that left me so frustrated.

04:24and which can still today, and rightly so, seem unwelcome.

04:27But it's a narrative choice like any other and it's worth respecting.

04:30The Fellowship of the Ring also ends with a cliffhanger,

04:33but which seems less frustrating because it does not take place in the middle of an action.

04:36This is probably the best film of the three,

04:38because it is the one who fleshes out the characters, who develops the story the most

04:41and who strings together pieces of bravery.

04:43When the film came out, everyone wondered what Peter Jackson was going to say.

04:46with the final volley.

04:47And yet, not only will he succeed in telling a lot of things,

04:50but in addition, he will offer us one of the craziest fantasy films

04:53of the last 20 years.
