Not LOTR, but still an exceptional movie

Rating: 7/10 (31 October 2013)

If you're going into this movie thinking it will be anything like The Lord of the Rings, you will be largely disappointed. LOTR was a masterpiece and it's unlikely Peter Jackson will ever make movies as good as those again.
That said, this is still an exceptional movie. Just like it's title, it depicts the journey of Bilbo Baggins, way back before LOTR happened. It is a fun family movie with an adventurous theme to it that is best viewed on a Friday night with a bag of popcorn. I especially recommend it for anyone who has kids. They will love it.
