#140RVW: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

Good to be back, even for an overlong 3 hours. Dwarfs look stupid but don’t ruin things…much. Gollum scene a blast. Freeman perfect Bilbo.

So good. Manages to be dark, gritty and fun at same time. Craig earned this. A must-see for anyone who’s ever enjoyed a Bond of any era…

Moore, Harris & Harrelson captivating in well-told tale of bat-shit crazy people. Had nearly forgotten the extent of the weirdness…

Delightful story, charmingly delivered by lovely McGregor, Blunt & Waked. Some may find it smarmy; may be fair. KSThomas too fun for words.

To be fair, I only watched last half. May have been genius up to that point and just had a rough 60 mins. But I somehow doubt it. Very much.
