Mr Bilbo has gone on an adventure! Scott Gentry reviews "The Hobbit: An Unexpected journey".


"The Hobbit: An unexpected journey" (12A)
Director: Peter Jackson
Starring: Martin Freeman, Sir Ian McKellen, James Nesbit and Richard Armitage.
Rated: 12, for containing moderate violence.
Running time: 167 minutes.
Out Now on DVD and Blu-Ray.

Long ago, in the land of Erabor, the Dwarves lived a happy and fruitful life in the Lonely Mountains along with their vast amount of treasure. On one fateful day, a dragon named Smaug, decided to overtake the lonely Mountain and the whole of Erabor; taking all the Dwarves `s gold and riches for himself. After a large battle the Dwarves were forced to leave their homeland behind. Years later, a young reclusive hobbit named Bilbo Baggins unexpectedly joined a group of vengeful Dwarves and a wizard in the attempt to retrieve Erabor.This is his story...


From the visionary director of "King Kong" and "The lord Of The Rings" trilogy, comes an all new prequel to "The lord Of The Rings" trilogy. In many ways "The Hobbit" is a triumph in the world of cinema, containing fantastic CGI and brilliant 3D. Martin Freeman plays our eponymous hero (Bilbo Baggins), who is more interested in the comforts of home rather than the chance to save a kingdom from ruin. With a running time of nearly three hours "The Hobbit" could be lengthy for some people, however i did not affect me in the slightest. If you are not sure whether to watch "The Hobbit" in 3D or 2D, choose the 3D; as this film is based around its visuals, which are beautiful.

"The Hobbit" is without a doubt, one of the best enjoyable films of the year, containing adventure, comedy and splendid effects (especially in 3D). A treat for all the family!

Four stars out of Five
