" The Movie: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey The Release Date: December 14 The Hype: &amp;quot;From the Smallest Beginnings Come the Greatest Legends&amp;quot;; &amp;quot;The Director of Lord of the Rings&amp;quot;; &amp;quot;Bilbo Baggins Hits the Road.&amp;quot; The Setup: &amp;quot;The dwarves are determined.&amp;quot; Yes, they are. And angry-looking and running around a lot. A tall man visits a short hobbit named Bilbo Baggins to inform him that he&amp;#039;ll accompany a group of other hobbits to reclaim their homeland at the peak of a mountain. Baggins isn&amp;#039;t hot on the idea, but being a pushover, he accepts. The mission seems to be going well, until there&amp;#039;s a rickety bridge and crumbling rock and... Holy shit, it&amp;#039;s Gollum! He&amp;#039;s still terrifying. Poor Baggins. What You Should Expect to See: Sweeping visuals. More sweeping visuals. Fantasy material handled with maturity. Height jokes. Andy Serkis being very scary. Ian McKellen being very serious. Peter Jackson &amp;amp;lt; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;cameo. Destruction of biblical proportions. Last-minute revelation and feelings of togetherness. What You Should Not: The Hobbit the 1977 TV movie. The same gravity of The Lord of the Rings books or movies. As much Elijah Wood as before. Brisk, light entertainment. Likelihood You&amp;#039;ll Actually See It: Kids, no kids \u2014 go.
