The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
The best thing about returning to Middle-earth is that you can call little people dwarfs and not get sued for it.
But you will be required to join a harrowing campaign similar to the one in this Fantasy/Adventure.
Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen) tricks the lissome hobbit Bilbo (Martin Freeman) into helping nomadic dwarfs - led by their displaced ruler (Richard Armitage) - reclaim the Lonely Mountain from an avarice dragon.
Before they can get to the scaly usurper, they must first contend with trolls, giants, elves, goblins, Orcs, a Necromancer, Gollum (Andy Serkis) and the White Council (Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, Cate Blanchett).
An ocular feast featuring new and familiar faces, this pulse-pounding Lord of the Rings prequel may be jocular but it's as high a caliber an adventure as its successor.
Incidentally, the upside to traveling with hirsute dwarfs is they never borrow your voltage converter for their electric shavers.
