New movie list The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey follows title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever... Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths ofguile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ...a simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know. -- (C) Warner Bros Release Date The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Dec 14, 2012 Wide

Review For The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
It frequently seems as though Jackson was less interested in making The Hobbit than in remaking his own fabulously successful Lord of the Rings series. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic My first thought in watching The Hobbit was: Do we really need this movie? It was my last thought, too. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor To its own narrative detriment, "The Hobbit" works hard to lay the framework for what will follow. Certainly that's one way to set out on a trilogy, but it's surely not the best. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post There's no denying the majesty in Peter Jackson's visuals but he's taken a relatively slim children's book and stretched it beyond the limits. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com The repeated iterations of fight, flight and respite here get wearing. Especially perhaps because, with Jackson's fetish for detail, they take more time to watch on screen than to read about. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" has finally arrived, not on wings of gossamer fancy but with a hairy-footed thud. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post It's the behaviour of the supposedly affable dwarves that makes this particular 'adventure' such a punishing experience. Charlie Lyne-Ultra Culture ...a jaw-dropping visual carnival courtesy of Peter Jackson and company! Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes Very, very (very) slow in the early going, but Peter Jackson does get there (eventually). Clint O'Connor-Cleveland Plain Dealer The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is a story stretched too thin; dragged out by drudging slowness and obvious padding that its handful of thrilling action sequences can't improve. Diva Velez-TheDivaReview.com Should more than satisfactorily scratch the itch of those who have waited many long years to see Middle Earth back on screen. Gabe Leibowitz-Film and Felt A marvel of filmmaking wizardry and engrossing adventure storytelling, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey marks another triumph by director Peter Jackson who once again takes J.R. Tolkien's words and brings them to life with skilful, passionate expertise. Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews THE Hobbit occupies that same awkward spot in popular cinema as the Twilight movies in terms of balancing good cinema against fan-service. Tim Martain-The Mercury Here's hoping Jackson's love affair with technology shifts back to his real strength-good old-fashioned storytelling-and that he has the courage to edit down the film. Richard Knight-Knight at the Movies "Disappointing" isn't the same thing as "bad." Rob Vaux-Mania.com There is simply not enough story to justify the inordinate length...the enormous production effort is negated by [the] disastrous decision to shoot at 48 frames per second...This makes the entire enterprise look like the world's most expensive home video. Jim Schembri-3AW Lacking the interesting characters and intriguing subplots that made the earlier trilogy so engaging, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is too flat, too slow. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane A vibrant vision but a long slog. Charles Koplinski-Illinois Times Like the sad, bug-eyed Gollum, moviegoers may not have realized how much they missed movies like this onscreen in the past several years. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine The absolute highlight: the return of Andy Serkis, master of motion-capture performance, as the scary, disturbing, pathetic Gollum. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) A wild and visually stunning quest through a fantasy world all done with the noble spirit of courage and goodwill. Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie For what it's worth, the first installment of The Hobbit hits all the right notes and delivers what will be expected of it James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk Repetitive and pointless action scenes fill out an already bloated runtime, but not to the level of indulgence that we saw on 'King Kong'. Garth Franklin-Dark Horizons For thousands, the Lord of The Rings trilogy was an emotion-filled spectacle; The Hobbit, by comparison, is all pixels and no pulse. Simon Foster-Screen-Space Wax your hyperbole. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express All in all I think of it as The Hobbit: A Better Than Expected Journey. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
