When the Dwarves set out to reclaim their stolen treasure hoard, I, Gandalf the wizard, sent with them the most unlikely of heroes: Bilbo Baggins of the Shire.
Long Ago, the Lonely Mountain trembled as the Dragon Smaug destroyed the Dwarf-kingdom in fire and rage. The player can use the power of the infamous ring to become invisible and sneak past enemies, and will fight enemies with various weapons such as a walking stick, throwing stones, and the magical sword Sting. Scenarios from the book are experienced such as the meeting of Gandalf and the Dwarves, the shadowy encounter with the hungry Gollum, and the battle with the dragon Smaug. Featuring an intriguing storyline, it takes players to places from the classic book as well as to completely original locales. Occasionally, things can look a bit manufactured and plastic, but it’s never truly at odds with the fantasy nature of the film.Play as Bilbo Baggins in a third-person adventure based loosely on J.R.R. For the most part, it works out action scenes are still intense and the colors and bright and vivid. The original Lord of the Rings trilogy was renowned for its great use of practical effects, so this major shift to CGI can be a bit jarring. Unlike the classic Lord of the Rings trilogy, a great deal of the action and setting is done with computer-generated graphics. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey does manage to impress with its expensive visuals, despite some awkward looking CGI. There’s a lot of fun world-building in An Unexpected Journey, but the main story isn’t terribly compelling. The main plot of Bilbo and the dwarves’ journey to Erebor gets lost in the shuffle, especially considering the length of the movie. Like the first Lord of the Rings film, An Unexpected Journey is a slow start to this three-part narrative. Unfortunately, it comes at the cost of an unfocused story. It’s nice to see familiar faces, and the callbacks are aplenty.
For fans of The Lord of the Rings film franchise and more, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey does a decent job expanding the lore.
