    Thoroughly enjoyed it. Being an avid Lord of the Rings fan, this was in keeping with the L of the R. Characters were great, music, scenary was outstanding and tons of action. I will have to go and read the book again! Will be seeing this again before it leaves the theatre.

    IT'S NOT MORGAN FREEMAN!!!ARE YOU BLIND? He's black. The is MARTIN FREEMAN. We all loved it. Just saw it in 2D matinee and avoided the line-up. Will see again in 3D. Whoever was complaining about lack of action - there is a lot more to come - lots of giant spiders, etc. The name, being the title of the first chapter is perfect. It couldn't be called There and Back Again when they don't get back until the third segment. And whoever said there was no ending - of course there wasn't - it's a third of the way into the story, but showing Smaug's eye opening up was a good preview of what's to come. Those who left near the beginning must have ADHD. Don't comment if you walk out before anything happ

    It's Martin Freeman not Morgan Freeman who plays Bilbo Baggins - anyways I really enjoyed the movie. My only complaint is I felt it was dragged out a bit. I love Bilbo, Gandalf & the dwarves!!! 4 out of 5!!! I was pleased since this is my favourite all time novel!!!!

    It's WHOSE, not who's.

    To the person who's only concern is the title, why even comment on it. The Hobbit-There and Back Again is the name of the entire story. An unexpected journey is the name of the first chapter in the book so it makes sense the movie should start with it. Please don't try to undermine the genius of J.R.R.Tolkin unless you have written an epic story that has endured the last 80 years.
