I am a recent convert to the works of Tolkien, having only gotten involved in Middle Earth about 2 years ago, and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. For this reason, I have been looking forward to the release of "The Hobbit" ever since I heard it was being made. December 14, 2012 couldn't have come soon enough. I wasn't disappointed one bit in Part 1: An Unexpected Journey. First of all, I love how the beginning goes back to the beginning of the book version of The Lord of the Rings with Frodo and Bilbo preparing for the Eleventyfirst b-day party. The flashback effect of Bilbo's writing leading into his story really was awesome. Throughout the movie everything was great, though there could've been just a little less action and a few more minutes of Riddles in the Dark. Gollum really steals the show and the chemistry between he and Bilbo was perfect. The only truly bad part is that I have to wait another year for the story to continue!
