Return to Middle Earth

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2012)

It's been 9 years since we left Middle Earth, but we never knew that we would ever return to the land of enchantment – the land of dwarfs, elves, wizards and even the littlest of people – hobbits. As the intro to the movie shows us, it shows us what will be and then tells the story of a young, but naive hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. He never knew of an adventure until a certain wizard showed up at his doorstep.
But as the movie goes on, we are re-introduced to familiar faces – Elrond, Galadriel, Saurman, and the ultimate villain of the entire series – the "precious", the conniving Gollum. All he wants is to live with the one thing that anyone could ever ask for – a long life of misery.
It does not surprise me that Peter Jackson has revisited Middle Earth. It is a place of magic, a place of enchantment. We are just so intertwined into what was originally written by Tolkien and the magic of Jackson – it just makes you want to visit as often as you want.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the biggest movie of 2012 and what a way to end 2012. I can't wait to see what the next 2 installments will bring.
