Tolkien is as dull and stodgy as the title of the film.  The Finnish-born, Dome Karukoski, whose<br \/>\n\u201cTom of Finland,\u201d about the artist Touko Valio Laaksonen, projects the director\u2019s interest in biopics, this time deals with Tolkien\u2019s youth from the time he was about twelve (played by Harry Gilby) through his experience in World War One, marriage and fatherhood.  Tolkien could have been one of the those writers whose parents typically advise \u201ccontinue with pen and paper as a hobby if you like, but be sure to have a career to earn a living.\u201d But we know little of his parents\u2019 wishes as his father had died in South Africa, his mother of diabetes, making the lad an orphan who is lucky to come under the wing of Father Francis Morgan (Colm Meaney).  From Father Morgan\u2019s strict management of his charge, Tolkien winds up under the wing of a rich woman, Mrs. Faulkner (Pam Ferris), his studies bringing him up to entrance to Oxford University.<\/p>\n<p>Much is made of the influence of young Tolkien by friends of his own age who form a brotherhood, horsing around, teasing one another, and helping to mold the young man into a scholar whose interest in philology, the study of language, brings him into the world of Europe\u2019s most celebrated linguist and writer (Derek Jacobi).  Scenes of his years in high school, where male students wear jacket, vest and tie to classes, alternate with cuts from World War One, where we find Tokien submerged in a trench as was the custom of the time, until the unit is ordered on what looks like a suicidal charge of the German lines reminiscent of a similar devastation in the Battle of Gallipoli.  Central to his life is his courtship of Edith Bratt (Lily Collins), the on-again, off-again woman who will become his wife and give him four children.  Bratt plays her part wonderfully, flirtatious at first, showing her increasing enthusiasm of her bond with Tolkien, a woman who Father Morgan tries to drive away from Tolkien because she is \u201cnot Catholic,\u201d and might prevent his success at Oxford.<\/p>\n<p>As you already know, Tolkien\u2019s first published work, \u201cThe Hobbit\u201d in 1937, brought the author fame and elevates him to perhaps the world\u2019s foremost scribe of mythological subjects.  If you have seen \u201cThe Hobbit\u201d and Peter Jackson\u2019s 2001 hit \u201cLord of the Rings\u201d which won a boatload of Oscars and critics\u2019 awards, you might expect the film \u201cTolkien\u201d to throw in scenes\u2014not necessarily from the movies, but at least of some of the dramatic personae of the man\u2019s creations.  Yet we see a fire-eating dragon just twice, and for a scant few seconds, and some vague scenes of warriors on horseback.  Without the special effects that would have brought the audience the full measure of the man, \u201cTolkien\u201d becomes a biopic that\u2019s stodgy, lacking in imagination and the creativity that could have come with an array of visual effects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>112 minutes.  \u00a9 2019 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/p>\n<p>Story \u2013 C<br \/>\nActing \u2013 B<br \/>\nTechnical \u2013 B-<br \/>\nOverall \u2013 C+<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TOLKIEN Fox Searchlight Pictures Reviewed for Shockya.com &#038; BigAppleReviews.net linked from Rotten Tomatoes by: Harvey Karten Director: Dome Karukoski Screenwriter: David Gleeson, Stephen Beresford Cast: Lily Collins, Nicholas Hoult, Patrick Gibson, Pam Ferris, Genevieve O\u2019Reilly, Colm Meaney, Derek Jacobi Screened at: Dolby24, NYC, 4\/10\/19 Opens: May 10, 2019 The biopic of J.R.R.
