“The Hobbit: An unexpected Journey†follows the adventure of a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he is swept up in an epic quest to reconquer the dwarf city of Erebor from a dragon that has stolen it years ago, before the dwarves enemy gets there first.
The movie starts off slow with flashbacks of the past and establishes the characters and setting. The slow start to get the plot rolling can be though for those without patience, but the graphics and imagination of the movie makes it a bearable wait.
Baggins and the dwarves with the help of the Wizard Gandalf (Ian Mckellen) fight their way through middle earth in hopes re-capture their city. Throughout the quest they face many obstacles. The goblins a mortal enemy of the Dwarves will stop at nothing to destroy them. During the journey the dwarves will learn about each other and learn the true value of friendship and trust.
While fighting their way from the goblins, Baggins meets a character unbeknownst to him that changes him forever. Baggins also acquires a possession that is linked to the fate of middle earth in ways that Baggins cannot fathom.
The middle of the movie is filled with action, mind blowing graphics as well as stunning scenery, but the action begins to fade near the end of the movie before they even reach their goal of reconquering Ereborn.

The movie has cliffhanger ending – in part to take in more money for the studio that have three Hobbit films slated. This is more than irritating because sitting for almost three hours deserves some sort of conclusion, which the movie doesn’t deliver.
Despite the lack of a proper closing and a slow start the “The Hobbit†is still an entertaining movie for older children and adults. If you do decide to see “The Hobbit†don’t go to the late showing, for you might find yourself nodding off at some parts.
