Movie: The Hobbit: An
Unexpected Journey
Genre: fantasy adventure
Synopsis: This is the first
of a planned three movies based on the J.R.R. Tolkien novel. Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) is a well-to-do
mild-mannered Hobbit. The wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) comes to Bilbo, along
with a bunch of dwarves. He asks Bilbo to
accompany them all on an adventure to reclaim the Dwarf kingdom from the land’s
last living dragon, Smaug. Bilbo decides
to go with them. Along the way, he is
separated from the others following a battle with Orcs. Before he rejoins them he meets a strange little
creature named Gollum, from whom he gets a gold ring. This ring is the basis for the Lord of the
Rings.
My two cents: At 2hr49min, I
felt this was a bit too long. All in
all, I liked it. The battle scenes are
great. It definitely left me anxious to
get to the next in the series.
