A great return to the wonders of Middle earth

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2013)

First of all,I respect the original Lord of the rings trilogy and love all the films.They were all very entertaining and epic especially watching them on the big screen(which I did see them in their extended cuts).This new film was a nice return to that feeling of wonder in the world of fantasy.I have to give props to Martin Freeman who played the young Bilbo Baggins.He was great portraying this character:he was funny,charming and a very relatable character.His journey really pulled me in.The other characters were fun too and the adventures they go through are amazing.The visuals are really cool for the most part they really give you that feeling of pure fantasy.There are some flaws:the film is a bit long and some scenes could have been shorter.Also some characters don't do much and were just there.One thing that I was happy to see again was Andy Serkis as Gollum.Very funny and he steals the scenes he is in.Overall a great film I loved from 2012.
