Rotten Tomatoes

The Hobbit, on the other hand, is perfectly capable of backing up its ticket price. And then... Lots. And lots extra.

The Guardian

I liked the film and its measured pace and, except when I found myself looking over the top of my glasses, was largely unaware of the 3D.

IGN

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey almost attains greatness yet despite so many moments of epic fun, greatness remains just out of its reach.

Common Sense Media

Despite issues with length and pacing, there's no denying this is a production worth seeing, especially with kids new to Tolkien's detailed universe.

The Guardian

There can be no doubt that Jackson has made The Hobbit with brio and fun, and Martin Freeman is just right as Bilbo Baggins: he plays it with understatement and charm.

Empire

'The Hobbit plays younger and lighter than Fellowship and its follow-ups, but does right by the faithful and has a strength in Martin Freeman's Bilbo.'
