Hobbit, The: An Unexpected Journey

Fantastic cinematography, special effects, and landscapes dominate Peter Jackson's entertaining, fast-paced, action-packed, wit-dotted, star-filled (Christopher Lee, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Benedict Cumberbatch, Andy Serkis, Ian Holm, Elijah Wood, Billy Connolly, and Lee Pace), 155-minute, 3D prequel to J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy that chronicles the story of how Hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) comes into possession of the precious and infamous gold ring as he travels with the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), the dwarf warrior king (Richard Armitage), and twelve of his subject sword-wielding dwarves (James Nesbitt, William Kircher, Dean O'Gorman, Stephen Hunter, Aidan Turner, et al.), who are trying to reclaim their homeland after a fire-breathing dragon lays siege to their gold-filled mountain city.
