Another Artistic Masterpiece by Peter Jackson

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2012)

This movie, the first in the Hobbit series, is an artistic masterpiece. I loved every second of the the "LORD OF THE RINGS" film series. Peter Jackson has done an outstanding job bringing Tolkein's classic book, the "HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY" to the screen.
I enjoyed the way Mr. Jackson introduced us to the Brown Wizard, and to characters that were mentioned in the Lord of the Rings books but not explored in those movies. The music by Mr. Howard Shore was wonderful in this film. The acting was magnificent across the board, and the cinematography was spectacular. Costumes, makeup all deserve Academy Awards.
Then, there were the performances themselves, which couldn't possibly have been any better. Mr. Freeman does a superb job in the role of Bilbo, and Ian McKellen is perfect as Gandalf. A band of delightful actors played the dwarfs. If you haven't seen the movie yet, go see it in 3D---then, go see it again.
