The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey


















It has finally arrived. The 2012 film that we were most looking forward to has hit the big screen and it was worth the wait. "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" tells the story of Bilbo Baggins and his adventures that take place prior to "The Lord of the Rings" films. While the story doesn't hold as much weight as that of the previous films, "The Hobbit" still has plenty of that Middle-Earth magic we've come to know and love. The performances are fantastic (especially Martin Freeman's turn as Bilbo) and the visuals are as stunning as ever. Peter Jackson has over-extended himself a bit this time around however, with too much CGI and a few unnecessary subplots. Even with those flaws, this is a welcome return to the world of Tolkien and is among the year's best.
