A fantastic first installment to The Hobbit. Some have complained that the movie adds elements and story lines that were not in the book, but my feeling is that The Hobbit should not be looked at as a prequel to The Lord of the Rings books. Rather, it should be considered as a prequel to the LotR movies. In that regard it is wonderful, and I fully enjoyed it.
Entertainment: 5
This movie is another fantastic trip to Middle Earth with action, history, excitement, and beauty in every frame.
Writing: 5
The writing is very good, with the additions to the book giving the movie a better plot arc than it otherwise would have had if held more strictly to Tolkien's text.
Presentation: 6
As with all Peter Jackson movies, this film is fantastically beautiful. The visuals and audio are breathtaking. This movie is made to be seen. Also, the acting is excellent. Particularly, Martin Freeman's portrayal of Bilbo really makes the character shine while being true to the text.
