The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) joins Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and a band of dwarves on a treacherous quest to a distant mountain in this epic fantasy adventure adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved novel by the creative forces behind the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Peter Jackson directs a screenplay he co-penned with Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and Guillermo del Toro. Richard Armitage, Andy Serkis, and Elijah Wood co-star
"In keeping with the child-friendly tone of the source book, "The Hobbit" is more comical, features a couple of amusing songs, and doesn't dally on funerals the way "The Lord of the Rings" did. But it's no kinder on small bladders or impressionable eyes, running every bit as long and violent as Jackson's initial trilogy. " -- Variety -Peter Debruge
"For all of its faults, which are more numerous than those in any of The Lord of the Rings' chapters, Jackson successfully navigates the return to Middle Earth. It isn't as delirious a journey as we experienced a decade ago, but it's still filled with wonder, monsters, and thrills."-- ReelViews -James Berardinelli
