The Hobbit: An
Unexpected Journey (2012)
Directed by Peter
Jackson this film based on the first part of the novel of the same
name stars Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage and Ian
Holm. A hobbit minding his own business is convinced to join a wizard
and 13 dwarves on an adventure.
This film very much
has the feel of the first part of a story and while being plenty
entertaining lacks a clear end point for the plot. The script
scratches round some ideas of home for a theme but never really goes
deep enough and the character arc of the protagonist being excepted
into the group is decent but we never get an explanation for why he
changed his mind to go on the adventure. As with any of Jackson's
middle earth films this is a really well made effort with attention
to detail as well as excellent special effects and landscapes on
show.
4/5
