Feat. Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Ken Stott, Graham McTavish, William Kircher, James Nesbitt, Dean O'Gorman, Aidan Turner, Jed Brophy, Andy Serkis, Cate Blanchett, Barry Humphries
Synopsis: Peter Jackson returns to Middle Earth with this epic first chapter in The Hobbit saga, which follows Bilbo Baggins' quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug.
“Jackson's eccentric mixture of low humor, earnest foreboding and digitally processed pageantry is consistently engaging and immersive.”~Time Out

2 stars (Good Try) A very disappointing rendition of one of my childhood favourite novels. Sorry Peter, but this one missed the mark for me. The lighter tone, the changes to story, the loose editing, the high-framerate, none of it was for the better. ~Tom H
2 stars (Good Try) Works best when Martin Freeman (great choice) is allowed to work on his own doing his hobbit thing otherwise just another action movie with make-up. ~Tubbs
