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

When I heard that they were making the single book into three movies I thought for sure that it would be a mistake. However, after seeing An Unexpected Journey, they proved me wrong. The whole movie kept me hooked. It brought back the same amazing feel …more»

Loved this movie despite some negative reviews. I welcomed the added material to give more depth to the story which I'm sure was Jackson's intention. Warm, heart-felt, and humorous, The Hobbit was simply wonderful. I was so immersed that I was …more»

I was trying to figure out how they were going to make this one book into 3 3-hr movies. Well after watching this one I can see how. They extend out the fight scenes and add in a few things but it's still wonderfully done.
