The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – A New Quest

Star Cast: Matrin Freeman, Ian, Richard, James, Ken, Cate, Hugo and Andy.
Director: Peter Jackson.
Producer: Fran Walsh, Peter Jackson.
Duration: 170 Minutes
For all those who do not know The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the first part of “The Hobbit” trilogy by J.R.R.Tolkien.
The movie starts with older Bilbo Baggins narrating the adventure journey which he undertook 60 years back. Cut to Dwarf King Thror discovers city of gold and other precious metals “Erebor” in the heart of a mountain. This finding makes Dwarfs powerful at the same time makes darkness creep in the form of “Smaug” the Dragon. Smaug destroys city of Erebor driving Dwarfs for their lives.
Thorin grandson of Thror is all set to reclaim the city of Erebor with the help of 12 other dwarfs and the man himself Gandolf. To complete the team Gandolf ropes in Bilbo Baggins as burglar and sets towards the mount of Erebor.
On the way the group encounters Azog's the leader of the Orcs, also known as "The Pale Orc,". Fighting against Azog and his army Gandolf &  his team seeks refuge in Elven stronghold of Rivendell where in the team meets Elrond, Galadriel and Saruman the White.
Gandolf explains Elevn’s that a strong back force is creeping up the woods and Radagast The Brown has hinted about it. After the help form Elrond in reading a secret map, the dwarf team moves on in the quest for Erebror.
How Dwarf team and Gandolf counters Azog and his army, Bilbo Baggins encounters with ring and the Gollum you have watch out on a big screen.
Coming to the most talked about aspect of movie, the making with 48FPS personally has not impressed me. The quality of the movie is immaculate but the drawback has been, some scenes end up being rushed (the scenes where in Smaug attacks Erebor) which takes away the beauty of the movie.  I would have preferred the movie in normal 3D.
Beautiful locations, Peter Jackson direction, well crafted action and some fine performances will definitely add on the movie. The length of the movie is the only drawback I can name so.
All in all if you are a fan on LOTR you would definitely enjoy the movie. If you are not, still try it you will not regret it.
Rating: 4/5
