Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) joins Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and a band of dwarves led by the brave Thorin (Richard Armitage) on a treacherous quest to reclaim their mountain home from the fierce dragon Smaug in this epic fantasy adventure adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved novel by the creative forces behind the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Long before Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) made his arduous journey to Mordor, his brave uncle Bilbo embarked on an adventure for the ages. Bilbo's story gets under way when the great wizard Gandalf appears at his front gate with a most unusual offer. Displaced from their massive fortress in the Lonely Mountain by Smaug - a greedy dragon who coveted their gold - a community of noble dwarves were decimated by a surprise attack by monstrous orcs, whose dreaded leader the Pale Orc slew their king in a gruesome battle. Now, Thorin, the descendent of the king, is determined to reclaim his mountain kingdom for his people. Together with a fearless team of dwarves, Thorin and Gandalf recruit Bilbo to aid them in their quest since Hobbits have the unique ability to go undetected when they wish to. Before Bilbo, Gandalf, and the dwarves can reach The Lonely Mountain and defeat Smaug, however, they'll have to contend with trolls, goblins, stone giants, Gollum (Andy Serkis), and even the dreaded Pale Orc himself. Peter Jackson directs a screenplay he co-penned with Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and Guillermo del Toro. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I just got back from watching the Hobbit at the theater. Reading the responses on this movie, too many people want this to be just like the book or just like the LOR trilogy. I went into this movie not expecting greatness, but hoping for it to give me a taste of what I enjoyed in LOR. I got more than I hoped for and I enjoyed this movie a lot. The movie drew me back into to that nostalgic feeling of being a part of middle earth, that alone was worth my admission! I think people complaining about this film were expecting way too much! I for one am greatful to have this put to screen to add to what already was a great set of movies in LOR!

Just saw it last night in theaters. Was better then I expected it to be. Wasnt too excited at first to see it, because of getting burned out from the Lord of the Rings, but I really enjoyed it, and it got me back into the whole middle earth vibe again. Beginning starts a little slow, but all 1st movies have to lay the story n characters out for you. Go see it, you wont be dissapointed.

Personally, I really like The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012). The movie actually had turned out as I had expected "GOOD." The trilogy of Lord of the Rings already directed by Peter Jackson was both, OUTSTANDING AND IMPRESSIVE. The movie trilogy stayed mostly true to the trilogy novels by the author, J.R.R. Tolkien. However, something odd had occurred with the outcome of The Hobbit, which was somewhat lower than the movie trilogy because I assume of the great success of the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, which came beforehand. However, The Hobbit was also a good movie as well, but did not demonstrate the same depth in plot and development as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I would definitely recommend this movie to other viewers.

Awesome movie! I liked it more than the LOR trilogy. Good plot, action scenes, and special effects. Please watch it, you won't regret it! :)

A little slow at the start, but picks up the pace and finishes strong. The 48 frames 3D is a new kind of movie experience, you may or may not care for it,

Why could they make one long movie for each book of the trilogy, but need to make three for The Hobbit? the first movie was good, but had A LOT of walking and parts that could have been removed from the movie. Would have this to have been one long movie like the rest instead of chopping it to death for three. Way to milk us Tolkien fans!

It's more walking! Clerks 2 got it right with the LOTR movies and this one.

    watched a sneak preview....loved it they added so much new content that pulls the books and games together. It leaves you wanting more. They did a really good job of not removing content also .
