Magic Journey

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2013)

Once upon a time, the Kingdom of Erebor in the Lonely Mountain was taken from the dwarfs by the evil dragon Smaug. One day, the young Hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) is unexpectedly visited by the wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen) and twelve homeless dwarfs led by their former king Thorin (Richard Armitage) and decided to vanquish Smaug and recover Erebor and their treasure. Bilbo joins the company in an unexpected journey through dangerous lands of the Middle-Earth where they have to fight against Trolls, Orcs and other magic creatures. Bilbo also meets the Gollum and finds his lost magic ring.
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is the beginning of another trilogy by Peter Jackson based on the novel "The Hobbit", by J.R.R. Tolkien. The plot is developed in slow pace with the visible intention of producing three great box offices, and there are long sequences that should have been edited. Anyway the movie is entertaining and the stunning CGI is impressive. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "O Hobbit: Uma Jornada Inesperada" ("The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey")
