Secondly, I'm giving a congratulatory hat-tip to all the Golden Globe winners, how awesome was it this year?! Also, I loved Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosting, they are a fantastic comedy team.
Dir. Peter Jackson
Starring:
Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, X-Men)
Martin Freeman (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Love Actually, Hot Fuzz)
Richard Armitage (Captain America, Robin Hood, The Vicar of Dibley)
My Rating: 4/5
Before seeing this I heard a lot of people saying they were disappointed and it wasn't worth the hype. I'm going to put it out there straight away - I completely disagree.
The Hobbit is the prequel to the Lord of the Rings, telling the tale of Bilbo Baggins' (Freeman) first adventure with Gandalf (McKellen) and a host of dwarfs. Their quest is to reclaim Erebor, the Dwarf Kingdom, from Smaug, the dragon that's been guarding the Kingdom for over 100 years.
It's not surprising that The Hobbit is so enjoyable since Peter Jackson directed the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which was outstanding. It may have been ever-so slightly slow to start, but soon enough the action is there, the story is there, the acting, the soundtrack, the scenery, it was an all-round incredible movie experience and I cannot wait to see the following installments.
