Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Pablo Villaça (1,590) for Cinema em Cena (1,589) on 17 Dec 2012

Aqui e ali, até sentimos o gosto do universo criado por Tolkien, mas para isso temos que devorar quilos e mais quilos da massa fermentada…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Louise Keller (804) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 17 Dec 2012

Jackson's adroit direction and brilliance of the reality are the film's high points…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 16 Dec 2012

Full of stuff... all the way up to a bloated 169-minute running time. But stuff is not exactly the same thing as having a rich and complicated plot…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Mark Bell (109) for Film Threat (5,156) on 16 Dec 2012

Simply, if you're a fan of the way Jackson has delivered Middle-earth to you in the past, then this is more of the same…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Kevin A. Ranson (644) for MovieCrypt.com (644) on 16 Dec 2012

there's nothing to hate or fear here (unless you buy the super-chubby size soda). Welcome back, Middle Earth…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Mark R. Leeper (892) for Mark Leeper's Reviews (297) on 16 Dec 2012

Visually it is sometimes amazing, but it is a large troll step down from the last trilogy…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Scott Nash (692) for Three Movie Buffs (692) on 16 Dec 2012

Entertaining, but just when a good thing becomes too much of a good thing will vary from viewer to viewer…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Michelle Alexandria (310) for Eclipse Magazine (446) on 16 Dec 2012

For better or worse this is no longer J.R.R. Tolkien's Hobbit it has become Peter Jackson's Hobbit. Lots of talking, walking and singing…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Jeanne Kaplan (738) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 15 Dec 2012

Though some may find An Unexpected Journey a bit slow in parts (I can't imagine) or a tad too long (I might agree), I found the experience…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Ed Whitfield (493) for The Ooh Tray (482) on 15 Dec 2012

This is hobbit cordial, one part juice to nine parts water…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Houston Press (294) on 15 Dec 2012

I prefer my movies to be more entertainment than ordeal…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Widgett Walls (433) for Needcoffee.com (433) on 15 Dec 2012

Well, that was the longest video game trailer I have ever seen. No, seriously, are you going to show the real film now…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By David Kaplan (436) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 15 Dec 2012

Whatever you think of Sir Peter Jackson --- he was knighted in 2010 for his service to films --- you have to admire his ambition…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 14 Dec 2012

Nearly three hours, and the story has progressed only slightly. Nothing is short and sweet here, not even the identities…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Ben Kendrick (300) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 14 Dec 2012

A few extemporaneous Lord of the Rings elements distract from The Hobbit storyline but Jackson has presented a captivating and exciting return…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Sandie Angulo Chen (751) for Common Sense Media (4,943) on 14 Dec 2012

Tolkien tale isn't as great as LOTR, but better for tweens…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Justin Craig (142) for FoxNews.com (142) on 14 Dec 2012

It would be wrong to ignore the technical achievement that Jackson has pulled off yet again…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Gary Wolcott (857) for Tri-City Herald (818) on 14 Dec 2012

A minor flaw or two but assuming you don't spend all of your days barefoot like a Hobbit, the movie will knock your socks off…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Tony Medley (1,109) for Tolucan Times (639) on 14 Dec 2012

almost 3 hours watching this would seem to be beyond torture for a normal adult, despite the exceptional production values which comprise…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Kevin Carr (1,610) for Fat Guys at the Movies (419) on 14 Dec 2012

Not all the scenes are necessary, and a great deal of the movie is set-up, with Jackson reveling in his own return to Middle Earth…
