A younger and more reluctant Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, sets out on an "unexpected journey" to the Lonely Mountain with a spirited group of Dwarves to reclaim their stolen mountain home from a dragon named Smaug.
Although produced very much as counterpart to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, this time the story is drawn out with more details and is told with much humor, great entertainment.
On second view: I still agree it's as entertaining as before.
Maltin**: "Massively unwieldy, downright boring prequel to THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy unwisely expands J.R.R. Tolkien's 1937 novel...Superlative visual effects and experimental use of 48-frames-a-second photography can't take the place of great storytelling."
