Parents need to know that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, director Peter Jackson's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's stand-alone quest through Middle-earth, is less violent than the scarier Lord of the Rings trilogy. But there are definitely some frightening sequences, like the battle between the dragon and the dwarves of Erebor, during which one character is decapitated, another has an arm ...

The world of Middle-Earth was pretty perfectly established in Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films. It immediately became one of the most iconic fantasy worlds ever seen on film, and every location was brought to life with incredible detail and personality. An Unexpected Journey brings audiences right back into the world they had last seen in The Retu...
While it is well-known that The Hobbit, as a book, is much more of a children’s story than The Lord of the Rings, the trilogy of Hobbit films had a difficult line to walk with its tone. Many people came into An Unexpected Journey expecting it to strike the same balance between humor and heavy fantasy that the previous films had. For the most part, ...
One of the most crucial aspects to crafting the atmosphere of the original Lord of the Rings films was the incredible musical score from composer Howard Shore. Across those films, Shore produced one of the best scores in film history, which he deservedly won three Oscars for (though he oddly wasn’t even nominated for The Two Towers). As such, it wa...
Whereas the Lord of the Rings films are praised for having a number of truly incredible action sequences, such as the Battle of Helms Deep, An Unexpected Journey drops the ball on this front a bit. Oddly enough, it doesn’t do this by having bad fight scenes, but rather by having generic and serviceable ones. While there are some action sequences in...
The Lord of the Rings is an ensemble story, with the adventure being shared between Frodo, Sam, Aragorn, Gandalf, and the rest of the Fellowship, but The Hobbit is fairly singular in whose story is being told. Although much of the plot is driven by the Dwarves, with Thorin being the most important character of the group, the heart, and overall cent...
While The Lord of the Rings are notoriously long films, Jackson seemed to believe that length was a prerequisite going into the Hobbit trilogy. An Unexpected Journey clocks in at 2 hours and 49 minutes, which is way too long for this story. While the Lord of the Rings films were that long, they earned that length with an incredibly dense and well-p...
The Riddles in the Dark chapter of the original book is one of the most iconic sequences not just in The Hobbit but in Tolkien’s entire Middle-Earth canon. The scene introduces Gollum and the One Ring, depicts how exactly Bilbo ended up with the ring and sets in motion events that would dictate the rest of the world moving forward. It’s a moment so...
