The long incredible journey

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2012)

The wait is over, the long awaited prequel to Lord Of The Rings is finally here,.
Bilbo Baggins(Martin Freeman) is a hobbit, who just lives the simple life, until he is asked by Gandalf(Ian Mckellen) to help a bunch of dwarfs to recover a treasure from a dragon. Bilbo is reluctant at first, but goes along anyway. Although some of the dwarfs don't want him along. Will Bilbo win them over?
Martin Freeman is too perfect has Bilbo Baggins, he just really gets into the role. Ian Mckellan is always great as Gandalf, I'm so glad he returned. The guys playing the dwarfs are also good. Peter Jacksons direction is quite brilliant. The effects are terrific and never a distraction. I was entertained by The Lord Of The Rings films, but I never was big fan, and the same is said about The Hobbit.
