Being an animation/special effects movie enthusiast, one might think I'd give this movie a good rating. Well, surprise surprise, there is more to movies than just good animation. The animation quality of this movie is 'Disney quality', and that translates to 'very good!' (for me atleast). The fairies are very cute too. But, in my opinion, the good points of the movie end there - only the animation is good, and that too is not something unusual when compared to the animation in the rest of the Disney films.

The main character in the movie, Tinkerbell, is annoyingly interfering. I wouldn't like someone not letting me go without having a conversation, when all I want is to be alone for a while. Tinkerbell is a compulsive talker, always wanting to have a conversation with everyone she meets. After sometime, you really start getting irritated with her character.

I have not discussed this movie with a kid, but maybe kids won't mind watching this movie. They might even like it. But, my humble advice to big children like me is to stay away. 


One good point of the movie that I have not mentioned above is the moral of the story: 'Always, always stay true to yourself''. A good advice and one that, maybe, makes it ok to recommend a watch for the kids. I would just hope the kids don't learn, from Tinkerbell, how to irritate people.

A movie eagerly awaited... The Hobbit

Peter Jackson did justice to The Lord of the Rings book. So, I am sure he'll do this one good too. You could say 'The Hobbit' is Book 0 of 'The Lord of the Rings' series.
The Hobbit is a story mainly of Bilbo Baggins' adventures, and took place before 'The Lord of the Rings' happened. I love the book and totally look forward to watching this movie because the way Peter Jackson depicts the Middle-earth is beautiful. Also, we'll get to see Gandalf, the great wizard, again.. :)

Let my first post be in the honour of my all-time favourite movie.

Le seigneur des Anneaux.. :)

I loved this trilogy! The first time i watched this movie, I was awestruck, and marvelled the craftsmanship of the special effects crew. And being someone who really admires movies with great special effects, i found this one to be a visual delight.
But, I had not yet read the book, and realised the full beauty of this masterpiece only after I had read the book.
Peter Jackson's depiction of Tolkien's world is a wonderful piece of imagination. Since then, i have watched the movie quite a lot of times, and i really love it. According to me, it is the one and only movie that has actually lived upto the standards of the book it is based on. Although i had a bit of a difficulty matching my image of Arwen and Eowyn with the ones on-screen, i loved the star-cast. Viggo Mortenson is very convincing as Aragon, and Orlando Bloom is sweet.
And the music is awesome! i really love the soundtracks 'Into the west', 'May it be', and 'Breaking of the Fellowship-There and back again'. And when i got to know A.R. Rahman had been a part of this orchestra, it was an ecstatic moment for me. I love his music.. :)

My Rating: 5/5

Salut! Enjoy Life!
