I really like this movie always wanted to know where and how he got the ring from the first movies would watch again
Pleasantly surprised with the overall movie though parts of it seemed right out of a video game.
the best bestest bestttt movie!! :D :D
The best movie ever!!! The first time I saw this movie was in 3d, and after that I loved it, I have order the books and the wallpapers!
Huge fan of LOTR, books then movies. Could not imagine how 3 movies could be made from a small children's book. Answer: can't. Ripoff of LOTR by director! Lots of ho-hum with not much excitement. Great LOTR characterizations missing. For diehard fans only. Sorry, PJ, but greed rules here.

The Hobbit is just good enough to make you aware of how it could have been much, much better. If you take your kids-while shielding them from various nonhuman bad guys getting decapitated both repeatedly and, worse, bloodlessly-they'll have a good time. Bilbo Baggins' quest for adventure and Warner Bros' quest for cash will take him through three films. But your quest for epic, truly entertaining filmmaking will be more successful if you just stay home. Full Review

Tolkien's inventive, episodic tale of a modest homebody on a dangerous journey has been turned into an overscale and plodding spectacle. Full Review

It's a bloated, shockingly tedious trudge that manages to look both overproduced and unforgivably cheesy. Full Review

While the production design is impeccable and the journey intermittently involving, The Hobbit is overlong and lacks the enchantment of the Lord of the Rings films. Full Review

The Hobbit plays younger and lighter than Fellowship and its follow-ups, but does right by the faithful and has a strength in Martin Freeman's Bilbo that may yet see this trilogy measure up to the last one. There is treasure here. Full Review
