The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
I liked it better than I thought I would. I expected to like it, but I also expected to have scenes that went on far too long. There were scenes that could have been edited down with no issue, but at no time did I yell at the screen to just get on with the story. I did have many moments of utter confusion. Granted, it's been awhile since I read the book, but I don't remember combat with the trolls or visiting Rivendell or the backstory between Thorin and the orc or ... . Still, I enjoyed the movie.
