Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) by Simon T — 04 Mar 2017
There's a lot more to enjoy than carp about with Peter Jackson's first part of the prequel to Lord of the Rings. It's gorgeously designed and photographed, has a brace of very good performances (although McKellen's strangely top-billed Gandalf is pure parboiled gammon), and, considering its inordinate length, moves at a clip.
Martin Freeman is a terrific Bilbo - genuinely charming and funny. Very enjoyable.
