Bilbo is the Reason

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2012)

This is a good movie; no, this is a great movie. Quite simply, it is better than any of the LOTRs movies. The reason for this is Bilbo Baggins.
You can take both Frodo and Sam's personalities multiply them by 30 and you will never get close to the charm of Bilbo Baggins. And this is saying a lot, as I am a huge Sean Astin fan. From Goonies, to White Water Summer to Rudy, Sean never disappoints. And he did not in the LOTR, but Bilbo is just a better character.
And in Peter Jackson's latest adaptation of the Hobbit, Bilbo shined. Martin Freeman was definitely a good choice for the role of the brave Bilbo Baggins. The complexity of the character will surely be shown
I highly suggest you see the Hobbit in IMAX 3D and take in a large tub of popcorn, as it is almost 3 hours long.
