"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," is the first of a trilogy of films from Academy-Award Winning Director Peter Jackson adapting the popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. For all of those who haven't read the Hobbit, this is set in Middle-earth 60 years before "The Lord of the Rings" starts. This is the story of Bilbo's adventure.

We got Gollum (aka Smeagol), Bilbo Baggins (young version), Gandalf the Grey, hobbits, lots of dwarfs and more hobbits all packed in one almost 3-hour long movie. You just can't resist the awesomeness of Gollum and his absolute obsession with his "precious". Start reading the book before heading out to see the movie.
