Entertainment Reviews:
Freeman’s the all-too-human face of Jackson’s gargantuan vision, his performance indicating that the emotional stakes will keep pace with the ramped-up challenges ahead...
Total Film
“It’s a far more humorous fantasy than RINGS, seeing absurdity in grandeur and vice versa.”
Sight and Sound
As Bilbo Baggins, Martin Freeman... is a perfect mix of innocent wide-eyed wonder-filled man child and stodgy stick in the mud.

Cinema Siren
Rating: 3.2/5 --
It feels more scattershot than Jackson's prior films, a pastiche of set pieces that don't add up to a unified story.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is a very good two-hour film buried within a meandering 166 minutes.

Rating: 3/5 --
It feels much like a gentler, more humorous and watered-down version of The Fellowship of the Ring.

Rating: B+ --
The results aren't quite so resonant, but the right notes are still being played, and we certainly come away fond enough of the characters and invested enough in their world to want to come back for more when it's ready.
