The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey(2012)- User Reviews

This movie was just phenominal.

I've noticed some people complaining about the humor but the Hobbit novel was actually full of Dwarves with plenty of humor.

The effects in this movie, the actors, and the cinematography was amazing.

I enjoyed the movie very much and so did my wife. If this had come out before the LOR I don't think people would be criticizing it like they are. Don't compare it the LOR movies. Watch it and enjoy it for what it is. An interpretation of The Hobbit …more»

As a LOR fan this film was downright embarassing. It was as silly and meaningless as Star Wars 1. The movie makers apparently think that since the trilogy was a great success (three truly great films indeed), repeating the scenery and creatures would …more»

The Hobbit was a kid's story. What is this? Peter Jackson has set of on An Expected Journey to milk every dime from his successful LOTR trilogy. This can be summed up by, Run through the woods, bloody battle; run over the fields, bloody battle; run …more»

Great story adaptation and use of appendices to expand Middle Earth. Stunning visually. The HFR 3D is truly something to behold but beautiful in standard 2D 24fps. Acting was super with Martin Freeman nailing Bilbo and Richard Armitage as the haunted …more»
